>Do you think that NGO's are going to hire me when what I shine the light on the statistics they use to justify their operating budget?

I think the easy answer would just to be say no, but if politics certainly has the influence that you say it does in the incentive process of what is going on, then I'd assume their would non zero probability for a billionaire to swoop in and support you in telling the "truth" in a "careful and controlled" manor à la Intercept and the Snowden "leaks".

>This is not the area my paper covers…

What area's does your paper cover then?

>What I want to tell you is that a lot of people pass on a humanistic message, when they're really hustling people.

Oh I already know, it's always amusing to watch people take the bait and then ignore the actions of the same people out of mutual interest/ "loin des yeux, loin de coeur"/fear/ or can't be bothered to look deeper.

>If you do care about people, I think the best thing you can do is volunteer your time, skill and expertise. A good example is Médecins Sans Frontières.

One of my skills and expertise (mostly trying to apply things i'm playing around with to something that others might find useful) surrounds datamining/data exfil from walled gardens/etc, where one of most recent things I've done was building a tool[0] that let people search the hacking team emails more efficiently with LSA techniques so that people could use it to gain insight into the operations of international defense contractors in the realm.

If you have any suggestions on any possible methods of how one should go after looking for such info and to classify such as a signal of human trafficking that takes in consideration of the nuances that people are over looking, I'm all ears. I would be glad to take a stab at figuring out how to mine for such information if no one is doing it because I'm pretty curious to see how something like that would compare to what people are pushing now.

Never understood why people liked React so much. I don't know why, but mixing javascript and HTML just looks... gross.
Same here. That's a shitty error message, Google.
Yes. You just include a "type definition file" for Angular in your project. There is a very large existing repository of type definitions for popular JS libraries in the DefinitelyTyped project.

I wonder what you guys would think of this:

http://qbix.com/platform

It was built with concepts from Angular 1 and React in mind. But it doesn't use either.

Especially this: http://qbix.com/platform/guide/tools#dom

Here is an example app built on it: https://github.com/EGreg/Overlay/blob/master/web/js/Overlay....
I found this to be more insightful: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10730047

Being that, the original conception of MVC was for the user's mental model, not the programmer's mental model.

> I can't imagine many people wanting to live near 20km electrically charged cables, never mind pilots flying between them in a high wind.

Not being able to imagine something, and other people not being able to do it, are not functionally equivalent.

Lots of people live within 20km of much more dangerous structures already. But there are plenty of places that people live > 20km away from because they're considered a high risk. So, take your pick on that one.

Pilots already have experience at not flying in certain places - environmental reserves, war zones, hurricanes, mountains, etc - they're pretty good at reading maps.

> Having to build a long way from urban areas rather reduces the advantages of such a system over solar farms in the desert.

I'd suggest you refer to the article again for the proposed benefits of having these things above cloud level, rather than on the ground.

"When you factor in medium and small metros too, Ithaca comes in first, with nearly 30 percent (28.9 percent) of adults holding a graduate or professional degree."

This is not necessarily a good thing.

The amount of surplus intellect was staggering.
It's an informal and humorous phrase the writer used to make the article less dry. They don't appear to be seriously claiming that people with advanced degrees are actually "super-brains".

No one starts out intending to build a corrupt ecosystem. But when money and it's proxies ( attention, publicity, buzz, etc. ) are flowing around the incentives shift.

The people Product Hunt tapped with editorial control were given that power because PH thought they would best serve the needs of their audience that way.

And like most such networks it starts off as a relatively egalitarian deal, but rapidly accrues winners and barriers to later entrants.

The lesson here is that if the existing networks are closed to you, then you should go ahead and build your own.

And then someday you too can be accused of being an evil mastermind ;-)

You don't have to use JSX.
Ok, let me make it more clear: Skepticalscience's answer did not address the concern at all.

They did not try to argue that energy will be cheaper/the same after we impose taxes. All they implied was that climate change was bad for the poor, which does nothing to address the concern.

Your point about renewable energy being cheaper seems to ignore all of the current cost per KwH measurements available, so I chose not to argue with that because it's not based on anything but opinions about what might happen in the energy market.

He lost me at the moment he showed me the all-encompassing, all-powerful, all-knowing spaghetti wrapper function in JS.

If he really wanted to build a nice looking web template solely with front end technologies, he could build it with Jade for the HTML part, Sass for the CSS, and JS/TS/Babel for the behavior part and structure the template in a modular and component-based fashion for reusability, maintainability, scalability, customizability, and above all sanity.

If you're looking to build a web app instead, just pick any framework you feel comfortable and your future self will thank you for that decision as the web gets bigger and bigger, you'd still can keep it together and deliver good results consistently.

Which is why Angular mixes javascript into HTML. So much better. Right?

(at least 1.x did)
I'm someone that initially hated the look of JSX (the html markup inside of Javascript thing).

But I've learned to like it. React encourages you to keep components very granular and small and so the amount of markup in each component doesn't really get in the way I find. I've also learned to appreciate how easy it is to reason about what React is going to spit out onto the page because the view is right next to the logic that dictates the various states of the view. Feels very concise.

I still don't like the idea of it, but in practice it works quite well.
I found the Ashley Madison one quite fun to read :)
You can write your Angular 2 application code in ES5, ES6, TypeScript, Dart, or to-JS languages like CoffeeScript.

TypeScript is pretty popular and it does work really well. Writing larger applications in a team is much easier if there is tooling to assist you. With most projects, about 80% of the work is maintenance and tooling does immensely help with that.
But why? Only sandboxed, JIT-ted js code is going to use this custom ABI. What exceptions do you expect to handle?
> "definition" and "meaning" are the same thing.

Given that I've explained the distinction I'm making, this is a super unhelpful thing to say. It makes me disinclined to engage with the rest of your comment.
The claims you're making in this subthread are not precise enough to be correct. If you only allow a constant finite amount of time to solve a given problem, then aysmptotics guarantee nothing. An O(1) time could solve fewer instances than an O(2^2^n) time algorithm. It is also not true that the asymptotically faster algorithm "can solve more instances as the allocated time increases." These statements are only true if you add the phrase "sufficiently large" to them. So asymptotically faster algorithms can solve more instances as the allocated time bound increases, provided that the time bound is sufficiently large. But how large that "sufficiently large" needs to be is arbitrary, so you can't say that Babai's algorithm is practical without either precisely studying the constants involved in the algorithm (which Babai did to some extent, but omitted in the notation for clarity), or doing empirical analysis, which is unlikely to ever happen with Babai's algorithm.
For those of you who are using Dart, https://github.com/ng2-dart-samples has many Angular 2 demos and samples and it's pretty nice ;-)

> It didn't make the news, pundits didn't care, the population at large had a dual-earner-with-credit-cards-financed delusion that their quality of life was improving.

Did they? I seem to recall most sentiment measures being stubbornly bad for most of the period between the 2001 recession and the Great Recession, despite periods of fairly positive results in top-line measures. (E.g., consumer confidence in the "expansion" period between the 2001 recession and the Great Recession never reached the level it was June of the March-November 2001 recession, and was often far below its levels from during the 2001 recession. [0])

Sure, the media presentation (what news and pundits were talking about) was generally positive up until the collapse and Great Recession, but I don't think that it necessarily reflected the "population at large".

As do I, for personal projects/personal use. When my company needs to create a functioning website in IE7 for healthcare professionals because they have to use IE7 and don't have a choice in updating then it better work in IE7...

My point was "if his target audience uses IE8 they should support IE8". It's a simple question for any dev to ask themselves and it comes with a simple answer.

If you expect to sell anything or provide a service - your competitor that supports IE8 will win a number of your customers over by supporting IE8 better than you do. If you can afford to lose those sales to a competitor, feel free to disregard IE8. (It's often only a negligible amount of sales anyways.)

I don't think anyone supports legacy browsers because they want to.

There's always more use cases for the existing code than you think there are.

There's always more corner cases handled by the existing code than you think there are.

There's always more bug fixes in the existing code than you think there are.

Combine all of those, and writing a replacement is always much harder than you expect it to be.

Look for immigrant neighborhoods in the area that are near outlying metro stations, or on bus routes which are within 10 driving minutes to a metro station.

We are all complaining about metro on here, but going into the city it's the only option. Rent is sky high in the city, and you want to avoid these kinds of places:

Hip places like Dupont or Columbia Heights. Hip is expensive

Places with the new and upscale appearance that appeals to young professional women who tend to be very non-price sensitive, like Ballston or Rosslyn. Rents are insane there.

Places to check out:

Crystal City is less hip and less pricey, but going up fast.

Huntington is a great bet. It's an immigrant neighborhood, which scares away the yuppie white people who pretend to be multi-cultural but really are closet racists according to any realtor or apartment manager in the area. Rents are affordable, and the neighborhoods near there are walkable, but decidedly not hip or party places. Plus you have quick access to the Mt. Vernon Bike Trail, which will zip you up into DC in 30 minutes or even across the bridge into Maryland. Plus, Old Town Alexandria is a quick bike ride up the trail for bars.

Arlandria used to be super cheap. Again, look for the immigrant areas.

I don't know the Maryland neighborhoods as well, but there are a ton of good ones. They tend to be pricier.
Yes, as of the changes they just made and disabled all third party lights. Prior to this update there was no 'Friends of Hue' program and third party lights worked. It's a bit disingenuous to act like this was an established program that people knew about prior to intentionally breaking systems that were previously working.
In addition, I find it funny, that TFA's final solution isn't really much different than static server-side rendering using react, mercury or a number of similar tools already invented. Not to mention that using babel you get jsx and es6 template string support... even if not using react/jsx I'd still favor string templates for my code.
Just build the dom in JS, like so: React.createElement(

If the finite time is smallish, and the constant factor in the asymptotically faster algorithm is sufficiently large, it might be the case that it can't solve any instances of the problem in that time.
I would, because I'm on the inside. There are even many CS degrees that don't require a course in algorithms. You have to remember that most CS degrees come from public/state universities, not Stanford and MIT. And CS students at public/state universities are largely mathphobic.
(Not the original commenter, and I can only speak from my perspective, having started working in Bay Area tech in the pre-Netscape 90s.)

I don't know that it has become more corrupt than it was ca. 1998-99, but I would say that the sleaze is shocking to people I tell stories to in other industries. Sleazy people are everywhere, but fast money and the apparent lack of a functioning institutional memory makes for easy marks.

I don't know if it is as bad as finance, as I've never worked in finance. I would guess not quite, for two reasons: (1) not as much money, even though the amounts have certainly grown, and (2) the environment changes more in startupland, which upsets some classes of comfy arrangements. But that's intuition-driven guesswork, with some residual loathing for ibankers for seasoning.

Aren't they about 5 years late? JQuery was an absolute lifesaver when we had to deal with IE5.5 and IE6, there was no querySelectorAll, the event model was different in IE vs. the rest of the world, many CSS properties had to be prefixed, and the box model was all screwed up. All of those are fixed in modern browsers, and most of the time you don't need JQuery at all.

You can replace JSX by hand-coding with React classes - take a look at the compiled jsx and mimic that. I find it as easy to work with, and less cognitive dissonance [ a personal preference ]
