While I've not messed with currying in JS, I can see a difference still.

If you have an uncurried function for which you have not supplied sufficient arguments, and it is eagerly evaluated, you more likely see below the call site an error in the function where an expected value is undefined. If the function is curried, the meat of the function remains unevaluated, and so is sure to give you back a value that isn't the one you want. So it does seem like moving to currying in JS is likely to sometimes increase error-to-symptom distance.
You are correct of course. Unfortunately some Western leaders have been a little unwise when speaking publicly:

"this crusade, this war on terrorism, is going to take awhile." - GW Bush[1].

"President Bush said to all of us: 'I am driven with a mission from God'. God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did."[2]

It's pretty easy to paint a picture of attempted cultural (if not religious) domination by the West even without quotes like that. Add that stuff in and it is harder to explain how it isn't the same.

This article adds nothing: it's basically a quote of the previously posted Twitter stream.
They don't really check, they just make you line up. Mind you, this is the busier stations that have huge backups, and some of that is related to capacity issues. But these days security is becoming the bottleneck because they never designed the stations for it.
You're thinking fractional reserve means, for a 1/4 fraction, I put $1000 in my savings account and the bank can lend you $4000. That's not true. In reality, I put $1000 in my bank account. But the bank only needs $250 cash in reserve backing that account, and can lend out the other $750. Of the bank's $1000 in assets, 1/4 must be hard cash and the rest can be debts payable to the bank. The bank charges interest to borrowers, and pays interest to depositors, and makes its profit off the margin.
It couldn't have happened to a more deserving site.
Ask HN: How to find hidden correlations in data?
Here is the thing. I am very interested in identifying patterns in life events. It is clear that there are correlations between some events in life. i.e. Sleep well -> productivity.
The question is how to identify these patterns? It is somewhat easy to log events with a bunch of properties. How do I go about finding patterns within the data itself without having a sample set of successfully identified correlations?

I would be grateful for any reference points to books, articles, concepts, etc.

You can't just have one number to try to track everything while 'externalizing' all the stuff that matters, like human and environmental health. And in our high tech world, relying on lawyers and politicians rather than building automated systems is dumb.

Things You Should Know About Bisexual Swingers
From my view it seems factors 'families with money' bring are;

- Finance: As per article family financial support can get people over one of the biggest hurdles of getting a business off the ground. Also coming from an upper income family odds are you have a higher income and more savings to invest/risk.

- People they grew up around: If you grow up around people owning/running companies you are more likely to see this as a reality for yourself. You also have personalities to emulate in chasing this goal.

- History of tech: Wealthier families has more access to tech in the past, although changing today. In my school age most kids didn't have access to their own computer, even at uni. This would be a barrier to leaning about IT that could build future behavior.

- Connections: Growing up in a privileged environment you develop connections that can be useful. Also learn how to behave among people who are in a position of power to help you and develop the 'we are similar people' bond.

- Sense of Entitlement: A great line from Rory Sutherlands TED talk was Oxford/Cambridge doesn't buy you a great education, it buys you a great sense of entitlement. This give you confidence to go achieve great things. In my small world I have clearly seen this difference from people who grew up on different side of the tracks though it seems to be changing a bit now.

- Expectations: People growing up in a more privileged world have higher expectations placed on them. To a degree this can push people to try harder to build something significant rather than just reach a reasonable level of comfort a more general job will offer.

- Fallback Option: I imagine this is one of the more important, people from a comfortable family know if their venture goes south they wont be homeless. Their family/friends will make sure they have board, food and an ability to restart. This puts them in a position to risk all with out the same downside.

Automated Visual Testing and Pixel Comparison
This was truer in the past when entrepreneurs had to build physical products or lobby for their business through established family connections of power. Today wealth is less required as long as a proper education can be paid for. Entrepreneurs thrive at Harvard, MIT, Caltec, Berkley, and the like... And software has been the social ladder super express. If Microsoft, google, virgin, facebook, instagram, uber, and apple weren't all started by wealthy entreprenuers then this article is refuted, since those are all the companies we emulate.

Racing up the stack doesn't imply you are dragging your ass up the same stack down below. There are some serious contenders in the container space that simply don't require anything below them but bare metal. They don't need virtualization, and microservices practices are being investigated in every company I'm talking to ATM. OpenStack can do whatever the fuck it wants to, but it's not going to be enough to capture massive market share with consumer coders. Like I said up top, OpenStack is destined to play out it's future in a low margin vertical, who's margins are getting lower by the day.

I think you're not really reading for content. Which is common with this issue. Any argument that isn't part of the standard propaganda is usually misread or ignored.

The point about assault rifles is that it's deranged that the Supreme court sees fit to allow states to ban what are essentially light weight rifles with various doodads and decorations. Weird considering riffles of all types aren't much of a public hazard. Then turns around and rules that states can't ban handguns. Despite which because they can be easily concealed and are often used for street crime are a public hazard. (Absolutely no question).

It opened my mind about using GC enabled systems programming languages. Eventually I became an Oberon addict and also Modula-3 one, as a side effect of discovering a book about it gathering dust in a technical library.

OS vendors just need to care the same way as they do with improving JavaScript JIT compilers, for example.

I'm not wrong. You are. Please. Do a little research.

You have no idea how the system works, and I'm not sure where the certainty is coming from. This is right from the wiki page you refuse to read:

"Because bank deposits are usually considered money in their own right, and because banks hold reserves that are less than their deposit liabilities, fractional-reserve banking permits the money supply to grow beyond the amount of the underlying reserves of base money originally created by the central bank."

Absolutely positutly FALSE.

First of all development of Ares has only recently been reinvigorated by LG devoting assets to the project which HP had taken a dump on when they pretty much gave up on WebOS.

EnyoJS is rock-star tech that rock-stars refuse to look at close enough to realize it is what facebook wants react to be - but 10 years ago, and is now the only truly platform independent JS framework.

Much work has been done by the LG designers as far as UI (I have followed their often ignored progress very closely of late) and the architecture of Enyo.

It is commonly misunderstood due to media sensationalism that LG "aquired" WebOS and it's goodies - NO NO NO - what they did is "aquired" the rights to utilize WebOS, along with the rights to own HP's nifty little office building in San Francisco (to house LG's nifty designers and devs) all under the agreement that they would pay an outrageous amount of money for these nifty items, and furthermore, that LG would slave away at WebOS/Enyo so that HP doesn't have to, all the while so that HP can benefit from the fruits since HP still owns WebOS/Enyo and friends. Phewwwwww

Just don't say things like "too bad LG is murdering WebOS and Enyo" because it makes me feel sad and angry and contributes to the propaganda machine of dis-information regarding the details of the deal between LG/HP (the details which have been hashed out in a secret agreement BTW) - this doesn't help things as the media was left with no choice but to sensationalize it even more, and without the benefit of the facts of the deals terms to at least sprinkle some truth around too.
The combination of nicotine and an MAOI is very much more addictive than nicotine alone – unknown substances in cigarette smoke mimic MAOIs.

That is, many of the negative consequences of tobacco come from the delivery method instead of the desirable nicotine. That's not to say vaping doesn't have it's own (yet unknown) negative consequences.

Show HN: A simple, clean and fresh take on a B2B Marketplace
Am I being too cynical when I say that the laptop you and I use will never be a 100% totally free. There will always be a blob on some sort in there. The most obvious one is the processor. With my naive knowledge of processor implementation, it's functionality is implemented in code more primitive than microcode. Is the source for this available for inspection?

There will be plenty of other devices in the laptop where its implementation domain is blurred.

Having said that, the Gluglug is a shuffle in the right direction.

Even now Beijing is huge with many mini cities within; most of it is not densely populated.

Also, high speed rail in China is not a commuter option: the train stations are outside the city, so you already have to spend an hour or more to get to them. Tianjin and Beijing are connected by high speed rail, which means you'll spend more time commuting to and from the train stations than you spend on the train.

I don't understand why you're genuinely interested. Whether You agree with the statement or not, you already know why it was made.

"Genuinely interested" here is just bate for someone to "genuinely" argue with you and waste their time.
Not rare at all, especially on chang'an jie. Still, not as bad as coming from miyun, I've toured up there a few times and getting the bus back to Beijing always requires at least an hour wait in line...on the weekend (many people probably have the same idea to go out, it is nice up there).
What the poster said is pretty straight-forward, if you can't understand it then the concept is either beyond you, or you don't want to understand it. You don't have to agree with what the poster is saying, but so far you haven't voiced disagreement, you've only projected ignorance (real or fake) over what the poster actually said by continually asking for clarifications. If you want to form an argument, then by all means go ahead, but none of your posts thus far are good examples of how to do that.

And to be frank, I'm not sure if I can read stuff like:

> That they have a contract with Facebook whereby the poster gets to use Instagram in consideration of the quantifiable amount that Facebook earns from selling any and all data that the poster gives them?

in any way that gives you the benefit of any doubt. I mean c'mon. The poster said that there was an "unconventional transaction" happening. Since when does a "transaction" imply such a contract? It comes across as you purposely being obtuse either because you enjoy trolling or due to some OCD-like need to be "right" on the Internet. If neither of those are true, then I apologize, but would suggest that you reflect on how you are coming across to others.
