It's a small point, but perhaps a relevant one for the trustworthiness of the article and the author: you can pay for a Baltimore bus with a DC metro card. The article confidently states an incorrect fact.
I don't think that the code needs a CS student. A programmer, perhaps. But a motivated high school freshman with prior python experience can figure this out, given some time.
Well, yes, when you are making the decision based on someone being from a poor country. There are better measures on which visas could be distributed. I strongly support increasing the number of total visas, but that is separate.
Trying the demo, loving it so far, just broke it.

At large scale, pure black. At small scale, normal swaying white dots with small transfer point, upwards arrow. Happened after the "you don't have the clearence" cut-scene. I had gotten the extra armor. When I scale up, I see the white dots for a fraction of a second, swaying as always, before they are seemingly covered up by blackness.
I would like to toss in that I am a beginning programmer: Not nearly good enough to fix the bugs, but I can read code and help comment it, change it to make it stylistically compliant, etc.
Low afro-american/hispanic participation can be explained in large part by lack of high quality education, lack of computers, etc. There is some residual, but nothing like the vast disparity that exists for women despite a lack of acceptable reasons.
I recently was forced to enter a password of not more than 8 characters as part of college applications. I was somewhat flummoxed, because the disposable password I use for applications I want to be able to forget about is nine characters. That is the lowest I have ever seen: I hope that there is noone worse.
You assume a total lack of self interest: A perfect adherence to Kant. I disagree with you about it reflecting a sick society: I think it reflects a real one.
As a rather shameless plug, using DDG allows you to do the exact same thing if you add an exclamation mark without even having to make a custom search engine.
So, the core(rich) countries include South Korea, Japan, Western Europe, and the United States. What exactly is the periphery? I don't think that there exists the geographic bias you imply.
I am saying that if the case comes down to a 5-4 decision, the court issues no ruling, and in all respects participants act as if a writ of certiorari had not been granted, except that you extend any relevant deadlines by the amount of time the supreme court spent dealing with the case.
There are no cases in which there is no precedent. It may be a new technology, or a new law, or a new amendment, but there is never an utter lack of precedent. In this case, I used stare decisis to mean that the court should choose to let the decision stand and not overrule the lower court.
I would add he is old enough that the appointment would have relatively limited value. In an increasingly politicized court, it might be better for a president to appoint someone with limited intellectual weight who will be a reliable (liberal or conservative) vote on the supreme court for a long time than a brilliant scholar who might step down in a few years, at least from a political power standpoint.
There is a difference between an optional GUI and a mandatory one. I don't see why an optional GUI would hurt R, but I have almost no experience in this area. Would you mind explaining?
Important point here: You are not representative. If you are on Hacker News, you have probably been called brilliant at least once. You are almost certainly, given that you don't seem to be a non technical co-founder in a startup, in the top 5% of the population for mathematical/logical(not necessarily arithmetic) abilities. Just because you find the calculations tedious does not mean that most people don't benefit from them. From what I recall, most people forget a concept that they are exposed to once and only once.
