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.

Good OCR with a nice API would be very useful.

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.

Politicians, by and large, are fairly numerate. Speechwriters rarely care about numbers, and policymakers care not at all.

Trying the demo, loving it so far, just broke it. At http://ektomarch.com/games/SubbaniaDemo/Subquest.html 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.

Do you have any examples of excessive conciseness?

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.

Could you expand on the "mere existence of religion?"
