Then assuming the user is logged in, a simple <img src="http://www.mydomain.com/delete/some-id-here /> on a third party site would execute the request successfully correct?

Kudos to Travis Reitter for replying to the comments.
They are spending about 71% on content. Before they hit 40M subscribers they could produce 13 hours of House of Cards level content per week. That would surely be something.

This assumes that all sales are equal, but if sales is a sum of dollars earned I assume this won't work (since each sale can be for a different amount).
Does anyone know what happened to Vala[1] and why it was not picked ?
It seems to have a huge amount of traction[2] and generates compiled code (which seems to me as performant than Javascript)

But the statement "40 companies worth 1 bn+ each" implies that the clever people think each company is a really sellable at 1 bn

Otherwise should we change the definition of "valuation" ?

Edit: it is difficult not to sound snarky on this subject.
If a respected investor's first reaction is to see beyond the individual companies and into the whole (and I agree tech startups will produce billions of value in The next five years) that's good - but it reflects a jargon problem perhaps - if the sophisticated investor sees a group of billion dollar valuations and thinks I will invest in them all and come out ahead it is a different thought process to the layman - that a valuation of a billion means it is worth that much.

While we should allow for a degree of sophistication investing in startups, it is still a stretch of jargon to make Humpty Dumpty proud

Art0035-How To Break Through Those Walls And Beat The Odds Awesomely?
A well-designed site is not distinguished from an not-so-well-designed easily. There have been times where, during on of my haphazard working days, I come back to the (already focused) login form and forget whether the form asked for username or email (despite the fact that the form would have accepted both).
I used Knockout for my last app and now that I am re-evaluating choices for a new app it's amazing to see how far everything has come.

It seems that AngularJS/EmberJS are more complete frameworks (routing, controllers, data fetching etc) and definitely seems like in either case your app will be more modular and consistent.

However AngularJS seems to have cumbersome documentation (why do I care about tests?) and far less helpful bindings e.g. conditionals. And EmberJS has terrible handling for events e.g. calling a function when clicking a link. However still learning so could be wrong on all parts.
This was state of the art emacs in 1997 when I was working on WebLogic. Though at the time it was called hippie-expand mode and it was in emacs.

If (for whatever reason) you have to write code with support for exception handling compiled out, goto statements are incredibly useful. While not quite as syntactically nice as a try/catch/finally paradigm, the combined use of error checking macros and a "cleanup" label can rather elegantly emulate the control flow of exception handling where appropriate.
> I didn't intend to imply a value judgement.

I will. That seems dumb.

Why are conditionals not allowed in presentation layer but repetition is ?

Normally I would try to be fair to the registrar, after all we are only hearing one side of the story, but it is very hard to defend a piece of shit company like GoDaddy and frankly I don't have much sympathy for anyone who continued to pay them to screw them over (removing card on file or not). The time to have moved away from those scumbags was when they came out in support of SOPA. There are very few companies that I reserve a place in internet hell, GoDaddy are one of them, they seem to be proud of being utter assholes.

As for your other point, I'm no expert on the laws of war, but I don't believe one is required to abstain from acting against a legitimate enemy absent a reasonable possibility of taking them prisoner. This distinction is discussed in the white paper; it's against the laws of war to attack an enemy who you have taken into your confidence (eg agreed to meet under a flag of truce, or promised safe passage as one might to a plenipotentiary), but it's quite OK to ambush an enemy who is conducting their own operations against you.
Is it unreasonable? I'd recommend Hover too, and also would have used my affiliate link. If I didn't have one I'd still happily recommend them, but if it doesn't cost you anything why shouldn't I get a cut? That's kind of the point of affiliate codes.
I wish I could save money opting out of crap food. Instead, I'm in the process of investing big-time. I likely won't see a dime back, but hopefully me, my wife and kids will all be healthier (which could conceivably pay dividends, but causality will be impossible to prove).

The sad reality is the corn[1] and wheat that makes up the majority of things in boxes is disgustingly cheap. I went to the grocery store tonight and avoided the middle aisles where the boxes of corn-crap live, and spent about 40% more than the old normal.

1. A gigantic lightbulb went of for me when I heard the following, "Farmers have known for hundreds of years the best way to fatten a cow up before butchering it is to give it corn." Now try to find some food item that doesn't contain some corn product. They even put the damn stuff in meat.

Giving developers the ability to put their app on sale.

Microsoft had JScript.NET even before C#, so this was purely a political move not a technical one.

At that time , investing on javascript would not have made Windows sell more.

Now Javascript is seen as a way for MS to get more apps on their RT plateform thus sell more Windows licenses.

However , i dont believe MS javascript move is a long term one.
Oooh, nice to hear. I've done a bunch of mods to make ACP work with JS a while ago (https://github.com/romainl/dotvim/blob/master/bundle/autocom...) but I'll check your version.
I think they (GNOME) would like to 'lure' more web-centered developers to their platform so that's why they chose JS.

But there's a fault in their thinking IMHO. Web guys are web guys for one reason: They sincerely believe web is the future and better than native desktop software. (For some values of better.)

And then there's the other big group: The native desktop devs who don't think JavaScript is a good choice for a native platform as there's already a big eco system of C/C++ code supporting this platform and why make the extra work of creating JS bindings? (I'm one of these guys - though I don't develop for GNOME.)

So all the GNOME guys do with this decision is to alienate their existing developer base while not really attracting any new devs to their platform.

Personally I think Vala was/is a perfect language for their platform. It's sad they they gave up on that.

One key factor seems that if you "know" something that everyone has been duped into ignoring and which "they" spend great effor to suppress, it makes you special, more enlightened and important than the average guy. I guess it's one way of dealing with feelings of inadequacy in your life.

And if you actively work on "uncovering" the conspiracy, why, that makes you a hero, bravely thwarting evil powers!

It's significant enough for me that they're practicing academics in a reasonably relevant field who work within the peer review process, as opposed to self-described scientists or the sort of deniers who have no real theory about climate but monger conspiracy theories about mainstream climate scientists, who the OP had put in a different group (#6, I think).

And ding your credit history? No thanks.

I would definitely charge back every unauthorized charge they make, and charge it back again if they fight it and win (yes, you can do this, and yes, it does work). It's not worth their time to fight small chargebacks at all[1], and the damage multiple chargebacks can do for even relatively large payments often makes it not worth going through multiple rounds.

Although at that point, I'd consider simply reporting the card as stolen. In effect, at that point it is. Once the PAN is marked as invalid by the issuing bank, those recurring charges should definitely not be able to go through (exception: some sort of wacky bill-pay system that bypasses the credit networks entirely; yes, these exist, although normally go the other way)

[1] As a merchant, your chargeback rate is unaffected by winning chargebacks, and the fee (typically starting at $15, and often marked up) is per-incident. Meaning if the customer fights the charge a second time after you win the chargeback, you're out $30 and now have two chargebacks in your history, not just one. Between the hard costs and whatever the human factor is in fighting the charges, it quickly becomes non-economical to fight them.
I don't know if i really like that approach. I'd much rather prefer Python or even C/C++. There are already so many desktop bindings for Python, why going through the hazzle to support all this in javascript? The documentation will be poor, many libraries will be missing, the learning curve will be high in the beginning.
My guess is that the Gnome team wants to take advantage of the amount of Javascript capable developers. But seriously, will many of those website/html/css/js developers write a desktop app where the overall community spirit is to replace apps with websites?
Fascinating. What do you use to sync emails to the offline mirror? (-:
Have you checked the "balloon help" functionality? This was intended for use with mouse and windows for things like tooltips, but I think it may be general enough to expand for use you're looking for. My memory isn't so great but I fooled around with it a couple years ago; if you haven't checked it out you may want to. See ':h balloon'
>Only if "no revenue" actually means "no profits".

Okay, the definition of "no revenue" means not one cent coming into the company. The only way to make a profit without a single cent entering the company is to commit accounting fraud.
too bad ... I guess it means we're stuck with JS to display multiline and/or format tooltips ...
I think that's what I mean - I hear "company valued at 1 bn dollars" and I have to do this mental and linguistic gymnastics leap.

A list of 40 companies valued individually at 1 bn is a bubble, a portfolio of companies only a fraction of which will generate significant returns is a sensible investment spread.

But that is not what the words used mean when I look in a dictionary. Especially as few investors have all of these in their portfolio (if any).
A question for syncontrol if you are not tired answering comments yet :)

YCM does not seem to integrate with snippets like NeoComplCache does, right? Do you plan to do that in the future?
Are there reasons to switch from NeoComplCache if you don't program in languages for which a semantic engine is available?

Then consider animal and plant species, their ranges, and migration patterns and dates. And examine what has happedened in those regards. Have you looked at any of these, or are you merely parroting somebody's propaganda?

I had never really looked at Clojure before this post and when I saw the code I almost vomited in my mouth from how ugly it is. Then I thought "that can't be what Clojure looks like", Google proved me wrong, and I cried a little bit for all the programmers stuck using this ugly syntax.

What is a billion? A few things worth so much:

American Airlines' annual revenue: $22 billion
UCLA endowment position (assets minus liabilities): $1.7 billion
500 MWe coal plant: $0.650 billion
Airbus A380: $0.400 billion
F-22 Raptor unit cost: $0.150 billion
Falcon 9 space rocket: $0.050 billion
MRI machine: $0.001 billion

So, pinterest is worth more than a coal plant but a bit less than UCLA's endowment.

With better.
The AR Drone (v1) I had was great and I miss it everyday. I hope they worked out the major kinks in the v2 revision. I ended up returning mine not by choice. I sent it back to the store because the motherboard failed and they sent me store credit instead. I guess too many failures and too many returns made them get out the drone selling business.

The SDK was fairly well equipped and the examples were well documented (this was iOS 3, GB, and C# examples). I don't know how they did it but they have the starter ready-to-run drone market to themselves. All the competitors I've looked at are 2-3x the price. Even the link the above is $179 just for the MB; excluding sensors, motors, batteries, cameras, and crossframe.
Err, no. He used the word copyright. Somehow you translated that into stealing. You did, definitely, misinterpret what was said.

These two books aren't bad:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004FEF6II/?tag=dedasys-20

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004GHN26W/?tag=dedasys-20

Although neither one is perfect. The latter doesn't miss the opportunity to promote the author's own libertarian point of view. Which is fine, but it distracts from the point of the book. The former also takes a few shots at things that are not conspiracy theories, but pet dislikes of the author. Neither are nearly so bad as the one-star reviews though - clearly both touched some nerves.

Central to both is the idea that people feel a need to think that things happen for a reason, and aren't just strictly random. And a bad reason is better than no reason at all.

My grandfather was into a lot of that stuff, and your description is quite apt: he was a really smart engineer, and a good guy, in general. But he loved all kinds of these theories.
