The causal links are obviously much harder to tease out, but the correlation between eating red meat and a shorter lifespan is strong enough that it shouldn't be a controversial statement.
Right. Pussy as shorthand for sex is problematic because it reduces a woman to her sexual organs, it objectifies them. Would you enjoy being reduced to your penis?
That he's using women as substitute for "pussy" and that his phrasing juxtaposes them with "people" (even though that wasn't the intent, I agree) only highlights the problem further. I understand what he was trying to convey, but that doesn't excuse the wording and the attitude it reveals.
Besides, if programming ability could be accurately quantified, there wouldn't be a constant stream of articles on how difficult it is to separate the wheat from the chaff when hiring.
The pervading attitude of The heavy use of logic is a masculine trait is a rather good example of at least one barrier. Do you not see how that statement is extremely problematic?
I don't think there are any PICs with integrated PLD blocks, or GPIOs that are routable to any peripheral. "Best" may be a silly term for it, but that's definitely really useful to have in a development board.
* The BCM2835, the microprocessor used on the board, is not available to be purchased by hobbyists
* The full data sheet for the BCM2835 is not available without signing an NDA with Broadcom (and presumably that only happens when you have a commercial application)
* A schematic is available, but not the PCB layout
* The GPU drivers are a binary blob
The Beagleboard and the Arduino are much better examples of open hardware.

There is a rather large gulf between "absent" and "absent in the Western media."
They're right though, it's definitely going to be a growth market. Looking forward to learning more about what Grand St. is doing.
While working solely to live longer and live decently doesn't have quite the same ring as working solely to avoid dying, the meaning of his statement seems clear.
It's fun, and adding/fixing a feature for everyone means they might add or fix a feature for me.
What I can't answer is: Why would someone agree to [do data entry/handle customer support/agree to be legally liable] without any compensation?
Those activities aren't fun, and if I handle customer support for you there's nothing in it for me.
Further, a lot of open-source programmers are getting paid. See [1] for Linux, the Mozilla Foundation for their applications, Joyent for Node.js, &c.
But I'm not. I'm not.
The controller has a touch panel and battery (pretty sure they're wireless).
> reported to cost ~$64 to build
Is that just the BoM or does that factor in manufacturing, QA, having to hold inventory, etc.?
You also need to be very, very careful when working with the mains. I wouldn't route a board that works with it unless you know exactly what you're doing.
It'll probably be easier than making Linux deal with your relay What the hell has Felix Salmon ever done?
That he has not built a successful start-up is entirely unrelated to that point, much in the same way the fact Roger Ebert isn't a director is unrelated to his critique of films.
While the rest of the country, over the same twenty-year period, saw the growth in incarceration that led to our current astonishing numbers, New York, despite the Rockefeller drug laws, saw a marked decrease in its number of inmates. “New York City, in the midst of a dramatic reduction in crime, is locking up a much smaller number of people, and particularly of young people, than it was at the height of the crime wave,” Zimring observes. Whatever happened to make street crime fall, it had nothing to do with putting more men in prison.
You can also ask the contest organizers to add a compiler/interpreter if anything is missing.
