Good question. I'd prefer to set a fairly high bar for elevating ideologies to the plane of terrorism. One criteria could be based on the willingness of an ideology's followers to exit the bounds of civilized discourse whenever it becomes clear that they're in the wrong. The basic blueprint seems to be "group X should stop doing thing Y to group Z", where X may be "doctors" or "the United States", thing Y may be "vaccination" or "occupation", and group Z may be "Muslim lands" or "children". There comes a point in each debate when it's time to give up the fight and accept defeat. Unfortunately, some folks simply cannot do this. It is then that I would consider them terrorists.

I mean, sure, all of that is true.

But we also have very high recidivism rates for stuff like "armed robbery", independent of social-issue crimes like marijuana possession. And society generally has an Opinion about armed robbery. (It's bad!)

A car costs about $6000 per year, so about $30 per workday. That makes sense if your Uber costs about the same price, but if you can uber each way for $5, most people would be willing to wait 10 minutes to save $20.
I would be curious to see an article, presentation, or quarterly report where that's written down because that's quite surprising. Maybe my gut is thinking ad-tech and all the support infrastructure, when the 10% is direct assigned engineering to ad-tech. And to be fair, the "support infrastructure" can and has other purposes.
We never really valued skills over demographics — it's just much less visible where it benefits a dominant group. Consider that the percentage of VC deals with female-founded companies is 5.4% and yet they receive only 2.2% of VC dollars [1]. This has held true for over a decade: the average female founders have received less than their average male counterparts. But for some reason, there aren't many people complaining that VCs are giving men money just because they're men!

Some of this transactional argument is misconceived I think. The argument that you can trade off picking off your kids at 4:00 against, say $5000 seems particularly wrong-headed to me and detracts from the value proposition you bring to the company.

This is excellent marketing at best, and nothing to do with values. Lambda school is a YC portfolio company, and this program/post has gotten YC and LS oodles of positive press. The gender of this batch is designed to generate positive buzz, there was never any restriction on admissions before this announcement, no bias in getting into LS. So what exactly is this supposed to achieve?

Great marketing, guys and gals!

|> isn't proper partial function application. It can only apply a single parameter and you can't store a piped-into function in a variable the way you can a partially applied function in eg Haskell. Eg the following won't work:

splitname = name |> String.split
splitname.(" ")

Also, it's a stretch to call & currying. It's shorthand syntax for making an anonymous function. If & is currying, then the following JS code is also currying:

const cube = a => Math.pow(a, 3)

Elixir doesn't have currying or partial function application any more than JS or C# do. If your definition of "functional" requires these features then Elixir isn't functional (and that's fine).
Right; I'm trying to understand the difference between this and the "units of measure" approach the grandparent was referencing.

Would you be supportive of a campaign to hire a hitman to kill Donald Trump? I hate Donald Trump and even I would support that being taken down. Would that make me some tyrant that's trying to destroy free speech? Of course not; I don't think it's right to kill people, simple as that.

Anti-vaxxers kill people by reducing herd immunity. I think that's wrong, I wouldn't platform that.

To have the Orwellian nightmare that you're describing, you'd really have to have a governing body performing this, and to have them disallowing you from building your own.

Now, if the credit card processors were blocking anti-vax stuff, I think you'd have a point, but as it stands it seems like you're just falling into a slippery slope that doesn't exist.

>> Programmers are like cats and their opinions are more important and refined than anyone else's. And I don't think it's sustainable to work in an environment where your every mistake or bad day will make you seem like a dipshit to your team.

> In your second it seems that you don’t respect those lower on the ladder:

That's a good point. I didn't intend any disrespect. Speaking as a programmer I was making a self-deprecating generalization. Not everyone has had the same experience as I have and I can see how that has weakened my comment.

I think I could have made my writing stronger if I had avoided the generalization and went straight to the point instead.

Thanks for pointing that out.

> As a leader it’s important to distill good ideas from bad

In a way I believe you're right.

> be able to bring those lower on the ladder along

However I don't think it's our job to deem which ideas are good. If we believe the source of goodness stems from our own personal experience and opinions then we may favor a team that merely agrees with us.

A good leader, in my opinion, must embody some of the qualities in TFA to make those determinations: being focused on the customer, the business, and their team. They need to look to the current context of all of these things and find the good ideas. They often come from unexpected places.

> Give them the respect they deserve and you’ll get it in return.

I believe this is a universal truth: give people respect, ownership, and accountability. It's important!
All a crypto currency is, is a public, append only database. Your question is like asking "why does JPM need a public append only database".

Well, there are lots of reasons why this is useful. The biggest reason, IMO, is that it allows customers who use it, to transparently see the ledger. This reduces (but does not entirely get rid of!) trust requirements. That's useful, in and of itself.
I don't mean to shit on (pun intended) your solution, but really, the solution is for society to get serious in dealing with homelessness and to Do The Right Thing.

A legal justification doesn't make something right.

It's also worth mentioning why the term "underrepresented minority" or "underrepresented group" is need in the first place. Considering how sexist and racist people claim tech is Asians seem to be doing perfectly fine which is exactly why the term URM is needed in the first place.

I was in Venice in May a couple of years ago. While the city was cool, and the typical attractions were fun to see, we were a bit underwhelmed.

We then hopped a RyanAir flight to Bari because that's where my wife's family emigrated from. Thought we'd rent a car, spend 4-5 hours hopping around Bari and then move on to Naples. We ended up spending 4 nights and completely loved the city and the whole of Puglia. It ended up being the best part of the trip.

Maybe it was just expectations were reversed, but we truly loved Bari, and could have just skipped Venice and Naples and spent more time there. Not that Venice and Naples were disappointing, but they didn't stand out at the end of the trip.

Italy as a whole was wonderful. Can't wait to go back.

The main reason I would disagree with such a personally limiting view of the world is that the world is so complex and ever-shifting that this sacrifice (even if you convinced a significant amount of people to join) ultimately cannot be measured in its impact.

There are other things limiting travel is affecting, such as reducing the amount of income to the countries travelled to that otherwise really need it. But I can't really measure that to any significant degree either.

Because they're building it, it's more important. If you want to build along vector X and they believe in Y, you'll only get the projection of Y on X in business value.

It depends on what the problem is. If the hardest part of of the problem is reasoning about the algorithm, then FP may be great.

The impact on society won't come from the number of crowdfunding platforms, but from the number of campaigns and their reach. My point with 1) and 2) was that neither is necessarily affected by this.

> likely when you remove them from huge platforms with massive market share, like YouTube

It's really super hard to fully remove an idea from social media platforms. It's like playing whack-a-mole. They tend to find more ways of spreading the information.

If the discourse itself is moved to another platform, my concern is that it might be a much more hospitable environment for such ideas to fester. And I'm not certain we will significantly reduce the spreading of these platforms.

Context: I work in Trust and Safety and am genuinely concerned with how to best address these issues, which I fear has fallen to the same pitfalls as many political discussions (i.e. get the favorable public opinion to stay in power for the mandate even if it means sweeping the dust under the carpet and let it build up)

I'd say then the "Select an Offer" section feels a bit misleading.

Using our example, I'm seeing "headout.com - available today". The impression I get from this is I am able to get a ticket for today. Looking on the right, I see "from $86.25". This gives me the impression that I can get a ticket for today, starting as low as $86.

Clicking through the link however shows the tickets for today are $159. I get that on headout.com, when they say "from $69" they are implying there are days where tickets are $69, and I think it comes from nothing on their site saying "available today".

On your site however, I read it as I mentioned above. As my first click through resulted in an unexpected price hike (again, from my expectations, not reality), I had the same mental connection I have looking at coupons on RetailMeNot - I assume that most of the coupons are bogus or personal affiliation links. Not knocking the product, but this was my "user experience" interacting with it for the first time.
That just makes it redundant though, right? A trustless coin from a trusted vendor isn't going to be used because it's trustless, and it's introducing extra complexity.

Also, any international benefit is just temporary arbitrage. The increased costs associated with international transactions comes from the high risk, which will inevitably catch up to any system that becomes popular.
> I honestly don’t see how any of this is legal

It is illegal to discriminate for jobs on the basis of sex in the US (as per the Civil Rights Act of 1964). If you believe yourself to be the victim of discrimination, then submit a complaint the the EEOC [1] who will investigate.

That being said, a large gap between the number men and women (or whites and blacks, etc) working at companies exist can be considered evidence of systematic discrimination. Increasing the pool of unrepresented applicants is a great way to ensure that a diverse pool of qualified candidates get interviews, thus reduce the likelihood that a company appears to be practicing discrimination during hiring.

Not OP either, but I think what OP means here is that programmers feel that their own opinions are more important and refined than anyone else's, even other programmers. This means that they are likely to judge someone who operates in a way that differs from their opinion more harshly.

I think you might have misunderstood. JPM will not create a market for the coin or use it for lending. The coin will be 100% backed by deposits in client accounts and used to facilitate instantaneous transfers between clients in order to reduce settlement times (initially it will be utilised for dollar transfers with the possibility of extending it to other currencies and financial assets). Given it will be 1:1 backed by client deposits it cannot be used to skirt fractional reserve requirements (unless JPM changes the terms of issuance).

From JPMorgan’s Q&A on JPM Coin [0]:

> The JPM Coin isn’t money per se. It is a digital coin representing United States Dollars held in designated accounts at JPMorgan Chase N.A. In short, a JPM Coin always has a value equivalent to one U.S. dollar. When one client sends money to another over the blockchain, JPM Coins are transferred and instantaneously redeemed for the equivalent amount of U.S. dollars, reducing the typical settlement time.

Not sure why you got downvoted. It was the first thing I noticed about this generic listicle.
One idea is that it will provide faster transaction and settlement times. Basically JPMC is a bunch of individual companies that buy and sell with each other already. Each time they transact and transfer money everything has to be proofed and verified. Adding crypto would ensure this condition by default at the protocol level basically. And using the distributed open ledger, they can have some supervisor process checking the chain to understand where the money is going. If this is successful they could expand to outside partner companies etc..
Yeah, you’ve just created a global child pornography network.
> Consider that the percentage of VC deals with female-founded companies is 5.4% and yet they receive only 2.2% of VC dollars

Stats like this are so useless. Obviously if males make up 95% of the pool they're more likely to have founded some of the unicorns, therefore skewing the average. If one of the 5% of females founded a unicorn I bet they'd have a greater share of VC dollars.
But that's the value proposition of a distro like that. Write your app against whatever is in the repos in the .0 release and get a stable ABI until the next major release in a little over a decade.
One example would be where you have conditional logic that requires a database call. Without workers, everything would go back to the backend system, perhaps across the ocean. With workers in front you could shortcircuit that for all calls that don't require the DB call. You could also handle routing logic at that layer, allowing it to pick closer DB instances, etc.

It sounds to me like there might be some area where sqlite is "to much" but lightningdb/berkleydb/toky cabinet is "too little".

I would be surprised if "actual Redis" was ever the right answer to "sqlite is too much".

But I do wonder if there are some lessons to take from Redis api and wrap something like lmdb/bdb etc.

I'm not familiar enough with Redis to know when/if this would make sense over just using sqlite, though.
