Maybe if the company that designed this employed a single dark skinned person they'd have found this problem earlier.
Yeah, but don't forget to get one person with deformed hands and one person with tiny hands too. Just to be sure that it always works 😑🤔😒

Absolutely. The more diverse your testing, the larger your potential market, and therefore profit.

Who's to say they didn't? Who's to say this particular dispenser doesn't have a defective sensor? Or maybe the light levels are too low?

Happens to me all the time. It's just a bad sensor in a dim lit room. There should be more poc in tech but this has nothing to do with it.

That's quite a leap based on a test with one black person. You don't understand the science behind this.

I'm sure this isn't an issue of race just a coding problem
