Nope, you're not entitled to anything. A license is just a license. You're free to use the code. If the releaser gives you no communication about expectations, then it's your choice to use it or not. They're obligated to give you anything, not even the time of day. Enjoy your free code, or don't.

I've heard racket is the way to go with types in lisp.

Just passing along what I heard though, I personally don't use types and think things like clojure spec do a much better job fitting the bill.

It's also pretty irrelevant. The vertical integration isn't for producing cars, it's for producing sustainable energy products. And we all remember why vertical integration is famous... the unprecedented success of the steel industry e.g. Carnegie and the other steel barons. The article seems premised on a false equivalency fallacy.

no, they're just data being passed in. at least thats what it sounds like to me.

obviously this data has ways to manipulate the world, because an app that did nothing would be pointless. but it's no different than any other param.

what would be bad, which is pretty much the opposite of this situation, is if you had global resources that werent passed in as params and caused side affects and you had to access a global variable to get to it (because it wasn't passed in).

I didn't think it until you said it, but now I totally agree :)

Your email is the least creepy thing Streak has access to. There's also a feature that tells the user when an email they've sent has been read.

I second that. Just adding unnecessary complexity to save on a few lines of code that are so common most people don't even spend mental effort processing them.

Basically, it seems to me like trying to fix something that isn't broken.

It should be, well played.

It sounds like both sides (the people involved with the show and the people involved with silicon valley) should both lighten up a little.

If the show is off-base they should accept the criticism and move the later episodes toward a more realistic satire.

If google has a 6 person circular bicycle they conduct meetings in, expect there to be a joke. Smart people are weird, own it.

But... Don't make up a strawman who is looking to get rich without actually building something amazing, while being a weirdo slob that is completely clueless. There are hundreds of start ups on AngelList that are making a difference in the world while being completely professional.

That being said, I'm assuming they only screened the first episode? I wouldn't rush to judgement.
