Re:Why Education Does Not Fix Poverty (2015) on Thursday May 26, 2016 @01:00AM (#11775570)

So, what are you looking for, and what would it take for you to join a team as a technical cofounder?

Re:Get away with Google Flights on Wednesday February 25, 2015 @11:48AM (#9107740)
I've used Google Flights before, but I almost always end up flying Southwest, which doesn't disclose their prices to aggregators. Does anyone know if Google has tried to strike a deal with them? If anyone could, I imagine it would be Google.
