Relevant quote:
> The police officer did not seem to realize that the Atlanta man hadn’t posted a photo of the shooter, just another T-shirt with the same design. But the cop did know he’d sent the image to the private chat. Given that the call came from the same city as the eBay seller, it wasn’t clear how that police had access to his private Discord chat.
> The FBI, or the intelligence community, evidently is monitoring Discord private messaging, even from people who have broken no law.

From the article:
> Goldman Sachs is set to roll out a new policy requiring incoming analysts to regularly affirm their commitment to the firm, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.
> Under the proposed plan, junior bankers will be asked every three months to confirm they haven’t accepted offers from other employers.
> JPMorgan Chase & Co. recently told incoming graduates that accepting offers from other companies within their first 18 months on the job would lead to termination, a firm reminder of how seriously banks view early exits and the disruption they can cause.

An interesting aside and/or follow-on:
> Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) is a computer science textbook by Massachusetts Institute of Technology professors Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman with Julie Sussman. It is known as the "Wizard Book" in hacker culture.[1] It teaches fundamental principles of computer programming, including recursion, abstraction, modularity, and programming language design and implementation.

Another one:
> "Be, and it is" (Arabic: كُن فَيَكُونُ; kun fa-yakūn) is a Quranic phrase referring to the creation by God′s command.[1][2] In Arabic, the phrase consists of two words; the first word is kun for the imperative verb "be" and is spelled with the letters kāf and nūn. The second word fa-yakun means "it is [done]".[3]

> The phrase at the end of the verse 2:117 > Kun fa-yakūn has its reference in the Quran cited as a symbol or sign of God's supreme creative power. There are eight references to the phrase in the Quran:[1]

I wonder if “Be” would be imperative or functional. Is “Be” another name for `Unit()`? Or, would it be more Lisp-like `(be unit)`?
