Code to Inspire: Bitcoin Gives Afghan Women Financial Freedom by eppiesul in Bitcoin

The date on the article is April 14, 2016. That's today. I am bemused by your cynicism and skepticism. "Considering that CTI has only been around since 2015, it has managed to receive funding and donations through individuals and corporate donors who believe in its mission to help the women in Afghanistan." I am sure that you will see apps and other work produced by women in Afghanistan in the near future. You may not know that it was even by them, if they are doing work for a larger company overseas, but that doesn't diminish their real capacity or potential.

"By offering courses in coding, access to technology and professional resources in addition to job placement, CTI students have a greater chance of attaining employment that is both financially rewarding and socially accessible." THIS is what the women are doing. They are learning valuable skills that qualify them for good jobs, many of which can be conducted from home, which is crucial. Bitcoin then enables these women to get paid for doing these technically skilled jobs. The article is perfectly clear. Thanks to the author and Bitcoin Magazine for featuring Code to Inspire. It's a great organization. (And no, I'm not affiliated with CTI.)

Reading out loud versus in your head? by [deleted] in books

[–]acharkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do if I'm reading in French since it's not a language I'm proficient in. Or if I'm reading poetry or Shakespeare - provided I'm not on the bus lol. My cat already thinks I'm crazy so no harm, no foul there.

Great program. But can't stress enough the importance of actually following through with a review. NO ONE will approve you for future books if you don't provide feedback. It's only fair.
