By "in the long run" I meant the course of my web app development and enhancement. But I feel happy that there is a consensus on transient utility of these technologies.
Community size is a strong factor for me but (un)fortunately both ember and angular have large communities.
Thanks a lot for your guidance, esp. the last sentence.
Is this not also true of Ember, ... ?
The argument some have made is the supporting Dart is much more complex than supporting Coffeescript and it will be hard for an entirely ragtag open source community effort to back it up without serious corporate involvement from one or more sources. I'd be much more likely to buy into Dart (and I really do want to) if Google could reach out and partner with others (say Mozilla) so Dart support doesn't have a single point of failure.
Because you have not heard of Knockout.js?
It would be interesting to see a breakdown of what really accounts for the majority of the price differences. This article mentions some things in passing but ultimately doesn't conclude with the main quantitative insights.

From my articles that have hit the top 10, 50k pageviews with a little bit of virality seems reasonable.

You can roughly estimate the amount of visitors on a front-page HN post by 1 point :: 100 unique visitors. In this case, (17k visitors on 138 points), visitors viewed the page 3-4 times, which is unusual.

Why Your Business Plan Just Killed Innovation
Seems to me that in the future, companies are going to withhold some of their patents from FRAND even if they would be potentially more useful as FRAND to continue to use them as a weapon. The potential royalties of many of these FRAND patents seem small compared to the damages from infringement.

In fact, it seems the value of a patent is inversely proportional to it's usefulness. A patent which covers a critical wireless protocol component is worth a few pennies and can't be used to get injunctions, but a patent for some rounded corner button can be used to sue for billions.

If you look at the patent trolling going on, a lot of the cases are for really, obvious, trivialities.

While I don't think one should be able to get bans like this, sooner or later, Apple or Microsoft has to lose a patent case in a painful way so they stop trying to shake down competitors. Mutually assured destruction doesn't work if it's not mutual. This ITC case was the closest they've come to experiencing a real threat of pain.
Maybe I'm an ass for pointing this out, but it's trilateration, not triangulation. I set out to learn the mathematical concept, and not knowing the right term had me waste an entire evening looking at something more closely related to tessellation, than spatial position locating.
I'm so happy the President can take the time to address the patent system when it's in regards to giving protectionism to multi-national corporations while small businesses are drowning in frivolous patent lawsuits.
Yes, that would be "providing a business justification".
> Why would Google drop Dart? Google is almost guaranteed to drop any project that does not have high traction and/or high income within a few years of release. Dart has neither income nor traction. If Google does not drop it, I will be very surprised and impressed.

Likewise. As it happens, my model's* 5-year survival prediction (=Dart being supported by Google in ~March 2018) is just 21%. I can't say I really disagree.

Laughs at the US senate aside, it really sucks that Wikipedia hasn't implemented a simple ip anonymizing system yet. They could simply hash the ip of anonymous contributions so then you could still see the persons edit history but not run a whois query and figure out what that persons likely employer is.

A system like that has been proposed may times but always shot down with "if people are concerned with privacy they can always log in!" Which doesn't help at all because people are clueless about technology and doesn't know how much some Wikipedia edits and and ip address exposes about them.
Thanks for reminding me of the employment aspect!
For the popularity, I believe both ember and angular have large communities.
I checked the jobs and angular although leading here, is comparable to ember in terms of job opportunities.
it's both, although maybe "distribution" is a better term than leverage

he makes his money selling online video for $4/hr, which is not the same as classroom teaching. "Entrepreneur" would be a better term for him, rather than "Teacher"
This is the most misleading headline I have seen.
Nah man, doesn't always work. Whe I tried that, they said "Nothing to hide from the government, not everyone."
Another fun fact is that CLR (well Mono) runs faster on Android then Java.
And people say what incentives do companies have to cooperate with the government. This is one of them. All PRISM participants do. It's a mutually beneficial relationship.

Why is Google obligated to hand over marketshare to its competitors without any objection?
An interesting opinion. It'll be interesting to see if the incentives align better with the guaranteed royalties from FRAND licensing vs. as you say "potential" royalties from trolling. If they don't this is an obvious place for policy changes (not that that is likely to happen if this kind of interventionism prevents real pain for large corporations).
Nothing I tried ever handled spam as well as Gmail, I was drowning in it, it's the number one reason I use Gmail. I see so little spam now I think if everyone used Gmail the spammers would have to give up.

There are plenty of nice-enough webmail UIs around, and people complain about the speed of Gmail but I find it perfectly fine. Spam's the thing.

You should be able to run with just 512 MB, as long as your app can do with that. Docker itself as a tiny footprint, and containers have almost zero overhead :-)
As silly as the preceding comment was. it's becoming common to hear similar sentiments and it just shows that Google has a severe PR problem amongst it's people who would previously have sung it's praises.
This is what increasingly bothers me lately about the decisions they make. They're sacrificing a lot of stuff "in the interest of public good". It seems like a lot of collectivism.

"We can't put bankers in prison because this way it's better for the public/the economy"

"We can't punish any corporation with more than a relatively minor fine, because that would hurt the public"

"We can't let a judge's decision about banning Apple's product for losing a patent battle in war they started, be implemented, because that would hurt the public".

The worst part is that they must be thinking these are really good decisions. It's probably why Obama convinced himself and did a 180 on the mass spying, too "because it's in the interest of the public".
Hi Ray

I respect your work a lot, but are you sure your view is not biased a bit by working for Google? It's sometimes hard to disconnect from that kind of working environment to see the kind of issues into the future certain practices can have.

Dart turning into something bad for the web is really not all that unfounded or unjustified. You don't have to agree, but you shouldn't dismiss that argument so quickly.

Dismissing this kind of thing is what leads to 'impossible' scenarios happening. The point needs to be raised, repeatedly, and hopefully within Google as well. As long as a possibility exists for Google to misuse Dart, there needs to be voices speaking out against that possible misuses before it occurs, not after.
Greetings, I'm someone who is using Dart in production I can tell you that is promising and the community is growing.

The only problem I see is that Dart developers are focusing to much in the newer stuff w/o ironing the basics first, for example, the DateTime datatype can't parse this: "2013-08-03 12:00" but can parse this: "20130742", and to me is more important to work in those basics than all the fancy Canvas stuff or polymer.

We don't know the level of compromise Google has with Dart, I'm taking the risk cause I think is worth it.
Yeah, I was just going to add the very same thing, since it doesn't exactly make him the most neutral and unbiased person to talk about the subject. I think he's even tried to get his own Wiki page edited to remove or tone down that fact.

But like pretty much everyone in comments, yes, of course it's a stupid idea. I'm not sure why Jimmy is somehow an "authority" on this though.
I would recommend you to take a deeper look at Ember.js.

The article above by Jesus Rodriguez is a good article. It shows how Angular is easy to create _very_ small widgets with. But it doesn't tell you much about how to write a big application.

My experience with Ember (we're creating a very large app with around 100 different routes) is extremely good. More functionality != more bulk. All new features we add to the app fit nicely with the existing code. We never have to go back and refactor large parts of the app. It's the same simple pattern you apply over and over again. I seem to get the opposite impression from Angular apps, where as soon as your app grows more complex you need to take a lot of things in a different direction.

Take a look for yourself at some big and serious companies who are building large open source Ember apps:

Travis CI: https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-web/tree/master/assets/s...

NBC's Bullet Time Replay Rigs: How They Work
How can highlight improve?
I really think that the idea behind highlight app is very great and can be the next big thing. This idea has been implemented by many but still no one has actually cracked it.
Why is that so? Is it ahead of the time? Is there no way to make it less creepy?
I would really love to see someone doing it the right way. If not someone else maybe I can work on it. I just want to know what can be done to remove the awkwardness of the app?
Perhaps, but this thread is somewhat off-topic of the article.

The "teacher" works for an after school tutoring academy. He makes most of his money selling access to his online video for $4/hr.

I don't know of anything preventing that here. Except, of course, for lack of demand for it.
Pro-surveillance voting data for the US Congress
Well, there's two parts to this question really. What makes a newly founded company a startup in the first place, and when does such a company stop being a startup?

The other comments addressed the first part (scalable business centered on growth), but the second part is a bit more nebulous. pg gave an off the cuff answer at YC's Work For a Startup day which was pretty insightful: "When politics starts working."
Name calling? Mean and stupid.

If you had any familiarly with "the president's opponents", you would know we label this as "crony capitalism" (much more akin to original formula Italian fascist corporatism), and have so since at least the 2009 cram-down of Chrysler's secured bond holders. While of course partisan, this OPED by the Republican governor of Indiana lays out the issues and some of the longer term consequences and outcomes: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870356160457528...

Note Apple's board includes one "Albert Gore Jr., Former Vice President of the
United States": http://www.apple.com/pr/bios/ It's good to have friends in high places.

(Also note the cramdown was a remarkably bad long term idea; most specifically, because it ensures in the future heavily unionized companies in trouble will find it very difficult to pledge their assets for money to get themselves out of it. One of the major reasons Ford didn't have to declare bankruptcy is that its then new CEO, previously a Boeing lifer, in 2006 pledged all the company's assets to borrow $23.6 billion dollars: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Mulally#Ford_Motor_Company .)

This is kind of a dumb question, but do you know of any good solutions that allow the use of Angular with CoffeeScript, Bootstrap, AND a higher-level templating language like HAML?

(I know I'm pretty much combining "hip" programming buzzwords here, but I am curious.)
Mean.io is especially appealing to newcomers like me because it hides significant complexity in linking up stuff on the node.js platform. However, the only thing which puts me off is the instability/novelty of node and consequent unsuitability for production environments.
Django OTOH has been battle hardened, and there is help available if I hit a wall. Not at all to say that the node community is not helpful. It's vibrant and helpful but there are simply too many gotchas yet to be resolved, and more importantly, discovered and I do not want to be the one doing this discovery, midway through my startup. :-)
The President is the only one authorized by Section 337 to take this action. Although the President assigned his authority to the trade representative on his behalf, this action is only permitted under the law to the extent it is done by the President.
I hope as well, but I doubt it. That kind of secret power begs to be abused. The system of checks and balances that we learned about in civics class is simply gone. A willful executive with these powers at hand can sway the outcome of any congressional vote, any Supreme Court decision, or any media story. Our immune system against tyranny has been compromised and irrevocably so. We haven't yet descended into despotism but it is inevitable once a strong enough individual rises. To carry the analogy further, it's 1984 and we've just contracted HIV.
If South Korea produced quality education, then why would there be such a huge demand for private, after-school tutors such as the subject of the entire article?

They did, in fact, end up deleting my comment, banning my Discus account from posting, and in fact all comments pointing out that an actress was used initially are now gone.

So, so sad. Their credibility on this issue is pretty much gone now. I wish that anyone going to that page would get a fair view, but it looks like that's not going to happen.
This should be directed at the convention instead of the entire security community.

It's a permissions problem. Imagine the world as one big file system we're all sharing. You 'write' stuff to this file system all the time expecting nobody to come along and use it, but they do. If you limit access to some of this data by making it illegal that doesn't mean they don't still have access to it.

Seems like what we need is a quantumly encrypted coat we can put it on whenever we want complete privacy.

Nonsense. Dart is open source, and it is designed to compile to efficient JavaScript that runs in all modern browsers. There is no walled-garden angle at all here.

But the thing with hacking devices.. that's exactly what makes the security conferences so awesome. I've been wanting to go to a real security conference since I was 12 because of things like that. You say it scares away new users, I say it draws them in.

Complaining about people breaking into your phone, what are you doing at a security conference anyway? Last time I checked the site of a security conference it had a detailed guide on how to prevent this from happening to you.

It would be a terrible thing if the baby was thrown out with the bathwater.

Veto just means "I forbid". It is perfectly fine to use it outside the context of the President denying his consent to legislation.

For example I could, and have, vetoed a resturant in a discussion of where to go for dinner.

In this case a decision of the International Trade Commission is presumptively valid unless the President, or his designee, forbids the ruling from going into effect -- or in other words, unless he vetoes it.
Here's the law, 19 U.S.C. § 1337 (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/19/1337):

"(j) Referral to President

(1) If the Commission determines that there is a violation of this section, or that, for purposes of subsection (e) of this section, there is reason to believe that there is such a violation, it shall—

[...]

(B) transmit to the President a copy of such determination and the action taken.... If, before the close of the 60-day period beginning on the day after the day on which he receives a copy of such determination, the President, for policy reasons, disapproves such determination and notifies the Commission of his disapproval, then, effective on the date of such notice, such determination and the action taken under subsection (d), (e), (f), (g), or (i) of this section with respect thereto shall have no force or effect."

I think the author of this article doesn't really understand the technology behind packet sniffing, open wifi, what packets iPhones are sending, etc.

The article makes it sound like somehow this "device" (really just a computer - a Raspberry Pi) is somehow some special technology that people should watch out for. When I can do all of these things on any laptop on an open network. And in fact, that's going to be less attention grabbing in a cafe than some mysterious black box under a table.

It's a shame that the take away message wasn't that any open network is a security risk, not just when someone happens to have one of these "gadgets", but anyone on the network with a laptop can do the same thing.
If you are thinking about your business all the time, talk to customers on a regular basis and are actively working to scale what you have, you are materially participating in the operation of a business and by definition are not generating passive income. The fact that you've automated many business processes is a good thing, but that alone doesn't mean your income is passive in nature.

Incidentally, the folks promoting the fairy tale notion of "passive income" discussed here have hijacked the term, which is well-established in the contexts of finance, accounting and tax. Virtually none of the businesses these folks hold up as passive income success stories would be considered sources of passive income for accounting or tax purposes.
If we had fixed-ration compression, the attack would be impossible.

You could attempt to simulate that: after compression, add random padding so that it looks like a fixed 2:1 compression ratio.

This is wasteful if the data compressed better than 2:1. And if the data doesn't compress as well as 2:1, I'm not sure what you would do. (Maybe do no compression. But now you've leaked a tiny bit of info...)
