"but is not doing so great as an adult"-- what do you mean by that?

Why is Korean horrible?

A lot of the comments in this thread are missing the point. No one cares if you use Snapchat, no one cares if you like Snapchat. The question is how much market space can Snapchat occupy, and will their bets on new technology (VR, drones, etc) work out.

I think that tech companies are being expected to be vocal about politics (in this specific climate) because of all the rhetoric tech companies spew about "making the world a better place," agree with it or not.

>Boo on Obama for not even bothering to try for Universal Healthcare...

He tried to include the public option but it only had 59 votes to the 60 required to pass it

You're acting like the Republicans had no choice but to obstruct Obama. And when I say obstruct, I don't just mean denying legislation. I mean performing stunts like literally shutting down the government. Like irresponsibly fucking with the debt ceiling. Like attempting to repeal the ACA with no replacement plan, screwing over so many of their constituents. And let's not act like these were attempts to better America in light of differences of opinion on policy; the ACA was based on Republican health care initiatives for christ's sake.

Obama needed to be a better leader? Give me a goddamn break. Maybe he wasn't perfect, but in order for him to have done a better job unifying he would have had to bend over backwards to the GOP. There's a clear right and wrong in this situation.

What's your solution, then? What form of a left wing would have been any better than Obama in light of the obstruct-at-all-cost policy the Republicans held for the last 6 years?

>I do not agree with lots of things that (old) republicans did... but they get shit done. They wanted to block (stupid) gun control legislation, they did. They wanted to block returning Guantanamo prisoners to the USA, they did.

Blocking legislation (esp legislation brought forth by the opposition party) is, always has been, and always will be 100x easier than putting forth any legislation. Blocking legislation isn't getting anything done. We already see a failure to get things done by the Republicans in their handling of Obamacare-- they have no collective idea as to how to replace it, despite their vigor in denouncing and repealing the bill. They have had 6 years.

Don't think any concrete evidence exists, but the fact that the politicians (across the aisle) that were briefed on the hackings are universally accepting that Russia hacked the DNC is pretty good indication that the claims are true. Well, either that or there's a huge conspiracy going on, or gross incompetence.

Are we sure that VR in its current form (headset ala Oculus) is the form of VR that will become ubiquitous? I find it hard to believe that the average consumer will be interested in buying that clunky, expensive piece of hardware just for the "coolness" of it.

If VR is to become popularized i feel like it needs to be more seamlessly integrated into our daily lives.

Serious question: why is this sort of diversity important? As an Asian American man, I can't help but feel slighted when reading articles like this. Why is my status as an Asian any different from other minorities? Why even take race and gender into account in the hiring process for ENGINEERING roles?

As a minority I fully understand how race can affect one's perception on oneself, and how societal pressures can make one feel like they don't belong in a certain field. But in this light, shouldn't companies focus more on encouraging women and URM to enter in the field of engineering, and not at the point of hiring? CMV.

Propaganda is kind of a strong word.

As a CS student interested in tech and entrepreneurship, I and so many of my peers won't be able to start our own ventures because of student loans. And by the time i've paid off my loans I'll probably have other responsibilities I'll need to take care of.

Interesting, I wonder what world Clinton would have picked either of the two, including the other non-traditional candidates.

I imagine that it'd happen if Trump had cleaned his act up when going face to face with Clinton, and his "business acumen" had been drawing a lot of voters to him.

Also lol @ how Bernie is his own category
