Back in 2017 the Heterodox Academy was ranking colleges on viewpoint diversity but they seem to have taken it down. I was only able to find it on web archive. Could be out of date/invalid. 2017 data.
Intersectionality is a theoretical framework for understanding how aspects of one's social and political identities (gender, race, class, sexuality, ability, etc.) might combine to create unique modes of discrimination. It aims to broaden the agenda of the first waves of feminism, which largely focused on the experiences of white, middle-class women.
Good point. Clay at no point used the word "invent" - that was entirely me. My rather rudimentary understanding of law means that prior art would invalidate any patent. Had Clay published his design when he claimed to have built the device (Dec 2014) it would seem to have rendered Apple's patent worthless, or nearly so.
A patent is a form of intellectual property protecting an invention. An invention is a unique or novel device, method, composition or process.
If it was a invention worthy of patent in March 2015 - according to Apple - then it was an invention worthy of patent in Dec 2014, when Clay claimed to have devised and built the device.
The most interesting problem to tackle was “the blue glowing screen problem”.
One of the many ways that screens give themselves away as screens is by emitting light that is “out of character” with the surrounding environment. They can be too bright or too dark relative to the things around them, and indoors, displays often seem too blue.
I solved these problems with what I call “luminance matching”. The basic idea is to sample the light falling on the frame several times a second, and then adjust the display and image parameters so that what’s displayed is “correct” given the surrounding environment.
Arbitrage is a transaction that involves no negative cash flow at any probabilistic or temporal state and a positive cash flow in at least one state; in simple terms, it is the possibility of a risk-free profit after transaction costs.
> My employer would have a lot more runway if our execs were making the same as the rest of us.
He was making the same as the rest of his staff so where is his runway? First serious crisis in 5 years since that article and he's scrounging for $70K.
I'm confused as to how he managed to parlay a tsunamic reaction of 500M social media interactions into a 16yo company whose finances are in need of slashing the CEO's salary to zero.
