Well if it does, they can just give up and go to the baker on foot.

1) Screw software, hardware is where it's at.

2) Hard topics pay well: DSP, information theory, crypto, information coding, etc.

Yes. They have good bread and public transit.

It's following the lead set in the SuperValu article a couple of days ago.

>rather than trying to break into the standalone desktop OS market.

It's there and dominant in a whole host of industries. The western world would collapse if Linux ceased being available on the desktop. For example we couldn't make chips.

I don't think you design chips do you?

Yes it does. I take it you don't write much crypto code?

>Because, you know the average Linux user is smarter than the nose-picking windows users.
I use Linux and I pick my nose you insensitive clod!

Try disabling scripting in Linux and see how far you get.

I won't fund any electronics hardware project that appears to be asking for too little money. It's a sure sign they don't understand the scale of electronics manufacturing.

We need to do a controlled experiment to establish causality. First get a second KickStarter web site..

Reading TFA is seems by 'Kickstarter Goal' they mean getting funded.
Once you've got funded you have to actually do the thing you said you were going to do with the money.

If people are using gender to determine who they are funding, they are presumably displacing more rational metrics, like "does the project make any sense?", or "Does this person seem competent to do what they claim they can do?'.

Thus in those areas where gender bias is measurable in funding, I would assume the odds of eventual successful delivery to be reduced.

and blood transfusions.

Was it important?

I think they should be digging a tunnel instead.
