In Om, components can still look at the global state without using a cursor if they want. You could have a top level "authors" key in the data store that the ArticleItems would have hardcoded into them. They could look up the author themselves as you describe by looking up the "authors" key in the global data state.

Alternately, you can pass multiple cursors[1] to a component. In your example, you could pass each ArticleItem a cursor pointing to the right article, and a more general cursor pointing to the author store. This would eliminate the hard coding of "authors", but it would require ArticleList to pass along some sort of "additional-data" cursor.

Om[1], a ClojureScript wrapper over React, solved problem 2 with Cursors[2]. Each component gets a reference into the data store, and can update its own data using the cursor almost transparently. In this case, it isn't that components declare what data they need, but their parents provide them with a cursor when instantiating them.

Factual - Los Angeles, San Francisco, Shanghai

Factual is currently hiring engineers and data lovers of all levels in the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Shanghai.

Factual’s location platform enriches mobile location signals with definitive global data, enabling personalized and contextually relevant mobile experiences. Built from billions of inputs, the data is constantly updated by Factual’s real-time data stack. We were named one of "50 Disruptive Companies in 2013" by MIT Technology Review. We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz and our partners/customers include Facebook, Yelp, Trulia, and Newsweek.

There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. A great example is one of our most recent products, Geopulse Audience, which stands at the intersection of high quality places data and large scale analysis of user geo-data: http://www.factual.com/products/geopulse-audience . If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure (http://www.factual.com/jobs/clojure), machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop.

Mostly software engineer with some account manager and web developer.

Factual is a great place to work and I'd definitely check it out if you like data and Clojure.

I don't think anyone can make less than 1,000 if that is the basic income. Everyone gets 1,000 plus whatever they earn from a job. If someone's job previously paid 500, then their new income is 1,500.

The linked article mentions cuts in other social welfare programs as one of the risks of a guaranteed basic income. Many who promote guaranteed basic income do not think it should replace our existing programs.

Think of the children...

Commercial motivations often drive academic achievements. Why assume it is the end of his contributions? This situation seems similar to Guinness' practice of hiring all the best graduates from Oxford and Cambridge.

If you are looking for some of the background you could get from a college course, there are some good classes available online for free.
