Did you read the post? It’s not about the cryptocurrency, or even the network. It’s about abstract ideas for distributed consensus, which are applicable beyond any cryptocurrency. It’s probably interesting even if you’re not interested in Stellar!

Anecdotally, I have found a correlation between misogynists and virgins.

This is true of many people that we idolize in tech.

And here are the winners!

Definitely check out the full list too because there ARE some great apps which didn't make it into the final 20.

Agreed. Including a coffee pot that emails you when the coffee is made and a toilet that live tweets your music habits.

Well, does karma have any value?

I don't understand the "Branch is an elitist Quora" analogy (which is one that I've heard before).

Quora is for monologues. Branch is for dialogues.

Sorry but I see dialogues more often under the answers at Quora than I see at Branch(es?)

That may be true. But that's not how the services are designed.

Quora gives your full attention to an answer. It collapses the comments. It lets you downvote unpopular opinions.

Branch limits the most that anyone can say at a time (to something like 800 characters--which is enough for an explanation but not enough for a tirade). And it gives equal weight to each comment that someone makes.

This, this, 100x this.

I'd like to see more women in tech. I'd also like to see more men in tech.

As a college age person, I'm glad this isn't an issue in tech. As far as I know.

Not yet, at least. There seems to be enough demand for people with STEM degrees at this time that this trend hasn't penetrated (and a good thing too).

I wonder why. (Not sarcastic, btw.)

Articles like this don't promote healthy discussion. Achievement gaps between races in different areas are a huge social taboo.

It's just not something that can be discussed calmly and openly in a semi-professional forum like this. So you get nothing but on side spouting politically correct cliches and the other side claiming that they are the truly politically correct ones.
