The number doesn't quite work out: you got two years, and if the business can demonstrate passing certain benchmarks (500k funding or (500k revenue and 20% annual growth) or 10 'murican jobs), you get another 3 years. 5 years is e

You overestimate how the "basic human right" is treated. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights has 30 articles, almost every single one was and is being trampled on everyday.

There is at least one other poker pro turned programmer, who ended up at AirBNB in his first job. http://haseebq.com/farewell-app-academy-hello-airbnb-part-i/ You can search for the discussion of that link on HN.

I agree with your reasoning and your description of Wikipedia. However, despite all the flaws, wiki is reasonably helpful, and I doubt filling it with more opinions would be helping the case.

The article is mainly focused on static typing. I guess it makes sense since the title is "Types". Although reading this, you might just think that dynamic typing is good for nothing. The more practical part of the article is grea

For this article specifically, it shouldn't be on wiki. The quality still needs a lot of polish, and too much opinions.

I do NOT know anything about Idris, but I'd imagine you have to do a check along the line of `if (x<y) then` before being able to call `add`, within that block-scope, the compiler should be able to infer that x<y. Typescript has

Simbi (the bartering marketplace) looks interesting. Wouldn't it be functionally equivalent to building something that allows people to trade their skill for money directly? Also, does the user on Simbi pay ... taxes right now? It woul

Can we have an option to hide hidden stories, default to no, otherwise keeps it where it is but have it faded (also add an unhide right there). Or would that be too convoluted?

No one disputes that. What you said is true, and completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand (splitting into ETC would allow more profit when shorting ETH -- considering that shorting ETH is something you can already do).

They could still do that without splitting into ETC. In fact, without splitting into ETC, it's even easier to stay in the sideline and yell into the sky that fundamentally, the technical aspect of ETH is shit. By splitting into ETC, th
