You're talking about the server <> client connections, right? Between servers, SMTP is still often unencrypted and even when they use SSL, I doubt they authenticate each other.

There is an immense amount of guilt and shame concerning the subject of markup and JavaScript living together. It may help if you rationalize it this way.

The second one not HTML at all, rather it is written in an XML-like configuration language which declaratively specifies the structure of the view, in which the attributes use Angular's JavaScript-like expression DSL to declaratively specify how its elements are bound to the behaviors available on whatever controller has been injected into this template. This allows you (or a non-coding designer) to completely change up the connections, appearance or structure of the view while touching no JavaScript whatsoever.

So in this case the markup and the behavior can be intimate, without actually coupling; thus there is no need for anxiety.
It's not a sustained reaction. It's just a bunch of short fusion reactions, one after another. We've been capable of short, uncontrolled fusion reactions for decades--it's just that, being bombs, we didn't have much luck generating electricity from them. A hydrogen bomb uses a relatively small quantity of conventional explosives to start a reaction which ultimately releases orders of magnitude more energy than the original input. This engine claims to use a small input of electrical energy to trigger a reaction which releases a lot of energy. Then, much like a car getting blown off the road by a nuclear test, they just position their ship near this reaction and get shoved away.

The proposal specifically says they will not convert the energy to electricity, but will use the reaction directly for thrust.

"Make it them by airing enough to prove them the bad guys."

I don't believe I know anyone who would see it your way. This is like complaining about your ex-girlfriends on match.com, it's self-defeating in a way that just makes me feel bad for you that you think it will be effective and help you achieve your own goals. It won't. And I honestly think that if you found someone who it DID convince, that they're not a good person to work for, and that will become apparent in time.

Back to my question - You talk a lot for not actually answering my question:

How do you think open allocation would work in practice. Lay it out for me like I'm 5 years old. It would also be to your benefit, if you could point to companies, of roughly equal size, that do it the way you want Google to.

Everyone in a company evaluates actual worker performance. Yes, it's possible to game that system maliciously, and that would probably be harassment. But it's perfectly reasonable to communicate performance evaluations when considering any promotion, increased responsibility, or transfer to another team.

I might have cared more about the Windows 8 app store if it wasn't $100/year, didn't require individual app approval, and didn't block sideloading entirely so I cannot QA or give my apps to friends without also giving them the source code.

Plus, frankly, the app store is just horrible. Like the ugliest nastiest thing I've ever seen. I'm looking at it right now, scrolling to the side and only seeing like ten apps.

I then go into a category and BOOM every app they have listed in a giant table. No inter-category hero panel, no popularity list, just a giant list of apps.

It was like this when W8 launched too but I just thought "wow that's shocking bad, but they'll fix it up." But they haven't! They haven't done a damn thing.

I used to say iTunes was bad, but iTunes is a thing of beauty compared to Microsoft's store.

Part of his argument is that the people in power have a duty to push through long-term reforms when times are good. Because if you don't you leave the system in an unstable equilibrium which slides back into scarcity -- and now it's hard to do the right thing.

He points out, for example, that the EU came into being by taking small steps in a direction that would lead to further small steps, gradually bringing about huge changes. It seems clear that Soros wants us to go back on that path towards full European unification.

I don't think this is a technical issue. Journals make mistakes on which papers to publish all the time, even when the referees work hard and take the review seriously, so this is hard for committed people to do well.
Computer Science is alchemy. In a five or a thousand years, someone will come along and say, OH! we should think about it like this. Then the problems we deal with will change.
An apprenticeship and licensing system would surely solve a large number of problems (while creating a much smaller number of new problems). I'm sure the computerist's union would be an absolute joy to deal with (sarcasm), no doubt making every other skilled trades union look like civilized extroverted yes men in relative comparison.

The existence of trained plumbers does not mean no civil engineers are educated, or no environmental scientists exist.

We already have something like union rules so that wouldn't be much of a change. I got yelled at for moving a monitor across a cube without having a A+ cert.

Piotroski Scoring is a quick way to evaluate stocks. You score one point if a stock passes each test and zero if it doesn’t. The maximum score is nine.

1.) Net Income: Bottom line. Score 1 if last year net income is positive.

2.) Operating Cash Flow: A better earnings gauge. Score 1 if last year cash flow is positive.

3.) Return On Assets: Measures Profitability. Score 1 if last year ROA exceeds prior-year ROA.

4.) Quality of Earnings: Warns of Accounting Tricks. Score 1 if last year operating cash flow exceeds net income.

5.) Long-Term Debt vs. Assets: Is Debt decreasing? Score 1 if the ratio of long-term debt to assets is down from the year-ago value. (If LTD is zero but assets are increasing, score 1 anyway.)

6.) Current Ratio: Measures increasing working capital. Score 1 if CR has increased from the prior year.

7.) Shares Outstanding: A Measure of potential dilution. Score 1 if the number of shares outstanding is no greater than the year-ago figure.

8.) Gross Margin: A measure of improving competitive position. Score 1 if full-year GM exceeds the prior-year GM.

9.) Asset Turnover: Measures productivity. Score 1 if the percentage increase in sales exceeds the percentage increase in total assets.

Mozilla CEO Kovacs to Step Down Later This Year
Here's a recipe from my grandfather that fixed my rounded shoulders:

1. Stand erect.

2. Place your hands behind your head, overlapping. Your hands should be resting on the back of the head between the ears.

3. Move both hands apart so that the tips of your left and right middle fingers are just touching the bottom of your respective left and right earlobes. Your chest will expand and your shoulders move back.

4. Hold the position for a minute or two, though it may be uncomfortable.

5. Repeat throughout the day.

6. Incorporate the exercise into day-to-day activities. When walking, periodically check your position by touching your fingertips to your earlobes, per the instructions above. After practice you will be able to snap back into proper posture just by thinking of the exercise rather than physically touching your ears.

7. Follow the exercise with a long stint of standing book reading, being careful to maintain the posture. When your posture fails, set the book aside and re-do the exercise. At first you will think of the posture rather than the book. Eventually you will think of the book and not the posture.

This exercise corrected my posture and I have scoliosis. The standing book reading is what finally internalized the lesson. I stand and read for hours now without pain or slouching, when I started I would return to a hunch approximately every five minutes.

It's free, relatively easy, and may steer some away from television and toward books. I'd give it a shot.

There are actually two components that the author is promising. The interactive learning environment and website will be free and open source, but the author is also planning on selling a premium, paid month-long course with extra content.

Edit: As the responses indicate, the premium course is probably against Kickstarter's rules. I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

With all due respect, the idea that open source projects are always the result of free, volunteer work is a bit of a sheltered and idealistic view.

Open source projects with the most tractions are either sponsored, or someone is writing open source code as part of a job they're paid for. (a few examples: Rails, node.js, Linux, Vagrant ....)

For projects where that's not an option, crowdfunding is a good alternative.

Most "involved" in open source are consumers. Crowdfunding allows for involvement and support at a different level, and is totally consistent with the open source ethos. Open source is about freedom, not money.
I'm interested in Bizspark. What is the catch/requirements? Seems too good to be true in the sense of them giving you a ton of stuff for "free."

I know everyone hates windows here, but people should probably realize that its a legit ecosystem. Everyone says "Oh it only has 4% market share, it has bad adoption". 4% of the PC market is 120m PCs. Think about that for a second: even if you got 1$ from 1% of that market, you'd still have 900~k before taxes in your bank account. Do I think Windows 8 is the best operating system in the world? Of course not, it does has its flaws, but is it the worst? No. Its completely usable, and its a giant step forward compared to where they (Microsoft) were a few years ago. Give it a few years, and I think it will certainly be a viable options, and I think it may even be a pleasure to develop on.
There is another fundamental reason industries would want to prevent this. Competition is an anathema to capitalists. And citing Uber is hilarious considering they are also disrupting the lives of not just the industry, but their very own drivers. It is no wonder their drivers are protesting at their headquarters.

This is a choice you can make in angular - you can do it the other way if you want. It's totally up to you.

We're building webapps - there's going to be behaviour attached to dom nodes. You could use a class instead but in my experience you end up in a worse place. When people do it as classes (or data attributes / whatever else) someone is going to come along and wire styles to those. You'll just end up with a much more twisted coupling of behaviour and presentation. I've unpicked this mess more times than I care to think about right now.

Also, it's really different in Angular - the behaviour is not as coupled. Each element has its own scope - the old "bad" way was wiring up html elements to GLOBAL scope. That's obviously not great.

Edit: so I don't sound so snarky.

I'll share two insights I've learned over time about courtesy.

1) Being courteous, over the long term, gives you power. There have been a number of initiatives I've been able to get done at work, that others could not, simply because colleagues give me a greater benefit of the doubt. They do so because I have always treated them very well, even when we disagree.

2) To be truly courteous, you must be very organized. If you're unorganized, it's easy to lose track of things--and it will be impossible to keep track of the many niceties of small interactions. But these are what add up, over time, to a great reputation.

Number 2 is an insight I have learned (and continue to learn) the hard way.

It's worth noting that "computer" used to be a job title itself, before mechanical computers replaced human computers.

Now that a computer is a machine that executes sets of instructions issued to it by humans, I think "Computer Programmer" is a perfectly descriptive job title for any human that authors those sets of instructions.

Whether or not a computer programmer is also a scientist is more a function of their training than their job title/description.

I've seen the world of freelance hiring from both sides, which gave me an interesting perspective.

As a freelancer myself, I know how annoying it is when your bank account is dwindling, you need work, but people take so long to get back to you, or don't get back to you at all. It also hurts that it is still a sellers market and you know if you hold out you'll find someone willing to pay a decent rate, but you spend all your meetings talking to people who want you to work for bargain basement prices.

On the other side - at one point I was working on a hand-curated freelancer marketplace. We posted jobs on other freelance sites to recruit the first few users for our platform. I got tons of responses, usually at least 50 for each posting. Some were clearly copy pasted, some had actually taken time to write out detailed responses. I did try and reply to everyone to tell if we wanted them on board or not, but it took a lot of time (the interface makes messaging lots of people slow). Morally I should have just spent an hour or two writing one liner replies to everyone, but the bigger issue was just the thought of all these desperate people looking for work was too depressing. So I preferred not to think about it and simply not reply to the people we weren't going to bring on board.

Was it acceptable? No, of course not. But I just wanted to show how the world looks when you're faced with a resume deluge.
My best attempt:

HTML already has a bunch of behaviors embedded in it. Links, styles, dropdown menus, input fields, radio boxes, etc. The angular devs are simply embracing the declarative nature of HTML and extending its available behaviors. In that respect, angular is actually treating HTML more like it was intended to be treated.

And I agree with the OP's lamentations about the javascript being completely divorced from the HTML. You end up with code that is so decoupled it's a major undertaking for someone new to your project to figure out what's going on. In an angular.js app, all they need do is look at the HTML and they can get a good idea what's supposed to be happening and where.

edit: And the truth is, jQuery apps aren't polluting the HTML any more than Angular apps, they're just doing it in the form of additional CSS classes and IDs and "data" attributes. In that respect, you could say that jQuery pollutes the css declarations.
