要多想
作为Y Combinator Research的一部分，HARC的使命是通过发明让所有人更深入地了解并更深入地理解的技术来确保人类智慧超越人类力量。在我们日益相互联系的世界中，每个人的行为都以复杂和无形的方式影响着数十亿人。因此，我们相信每个人都必须能够获得技术，使他们能够建立自己对世界及其系统的理解，从而认真负责地采取行动。
我们在最广泛的背景下研究技术，包括：通信技术（从口语发明到互联网聊天），智力工具（如科学方法和计算机模拟），媒体（从洞穴绘画到视频游戏），以及社会制度（包括民主和公共教育）。我们专注于我们认为今天创建的结构将对未来产生最大影响的领域，并且最有利于在营利性世界之外拥有专用资源。目前，这些领域包括编程语言，界面，教育和虚拟现实。
我们对技术的共同愿景结合了广泛的长期观点和强烈的道德感。我们关注遥远的过去以及遥远的未来。我们拒绝在人文，艺术和科学之间创造的人为界限。我们力求在思想和道德方向上引导人类技术，始终牢记一项技术的目标和它如何影响现实中的人性。

Sugar is an activity-focused, free/libre open-source software learning platform for children. Collaboration, reflection, and discovery are integrated directly into the user interface. Through Sugar’s clarity of design, children and teachers have the opportunity to use computers on their own terms. Students can reshape, reinvent, and reapply both software and content into powerful learning activities. Sugar’s focus on sharing, criticism, and exploration is grounded in the culture of free software (FLOSS)
