I see AngularJS as a general purpose framework, conceptually, similar to .NET, JVM, Node.js, although limited in scope to front-end web development.

What I mean is that there's still room for someone to build another framework on top of AngularJS, with common features such as authentication, authorization, breadcrumbs, rich controls (grids, combos, autocomplete), etc.

I also find it harder to grasp than other frameworks like ASP.NET, RoR, Django, probably because you have to do so many things from scratch and because it introduces many concepts not commonly found on your typical MVC framework.

I would call all of those points extremely obvious and hardly worth a whole study.

If you have low ratings, of course you're tempted to get some fake positive reviews. If you have a lot of reviews, adding a few positive ones will not affect the overall score much--it's a drop in the bucket. Chain restaurants, well, everyone knows what McDonald's is, what would they gain from posting fake reviews?

Businesses that claim their Yelp page have more interest in Yelp? Shouldn't it be the other way around, businesses who have decided they're interested in Yelp will claim their page? Claiming your Yelp page is a sign that you care; businesses that do not care about Yelp will not commit review fraud.

Who else would post negative fake reviews but competitors? I guess reputation management companies could post negative fake reviews in an attempt to drum up business.

An increase in competition encourages more negative fake reviews? I mean, if a business has no competitors, who has an interest in posting fake reviews? This ties to #5, where competitors are the ones who post negative reviews. More competitors, more fraud.
We blame Samsung. Most users will just deal with it. Few and far between care enough about crapware to abandon a phone manufacturer over it (assuming they even blame Samsung for it at all).

Marketing people from major companies use a Samsung phone and sees the bookmark will think "I wish our brand was there. How do we reach out to the carrier or Samsung to put our brand there as well?"

a few weeks later in a meeting with a carrier or Samsung, "Yes, we can put a bookmark there for X dollars. However if you want it to be undeletable, you can pay 2X dollars" or "Pizza Hut is paying us 2X dollars for that and we don't want to put more than one there, so you need to outbid pizza hut for that spot."

next step.... money rolling in.
Nope and I don't really get what are you talking about.
In my experience it's much easier to strike up a conversation with a random person in a college town, regardless of what they're doing at the time, than outside of one. I'm not entirely sure why, but it's a very distinct pattern I've observed in multiple places in the US.

Don’t raise the wrong amount of money
That's sort of what it does. NFC is the initiator, Bluetooth is the transfer protocol. It's in the AOSP code and is straight forward.
Meetings, yes we need more meetings, thats the answer!
My situation was extremely similar, though I had a car and half my salary for the year came out to more like 20k. Two years and a lot of raises later I am maintaining the same lifestyle, still have a roommate + a fairly cheap apartment, and putting away around 70% of my salary each month.

Not having any dependents helps...a lot.
I don't understand this idea that subsidies are mutually exclusive with getting ripped off.

Yeah, I pay a lot of money. I also get ~$450 back to help pay for my phone. That's a subsidy. The fact that my monthly bill is ~$65/month/person is irrelevant to that.
The force multiplication for most cases is intense. If you're doing something that looks like something lots of people do, then you're going to have a good time. That's the same deal with Rails.

Typically, the issues that people talk about surround the fact that in Angular, the one right way to do stuff hasn't been discovered yet. The fact that the way that Angular works is a pretty fundamental change from the way that webpages have worked for most of their history means that there isn't really much to go on. The patterns are still being discovered.

The situation isn't helped by the fact that lots of people dove into the ecosystem and started writing blog posts about how do do things with Angular.js without first learning why just using a directive to apply jQuery plugins is probably not the right approach.

Generally speaking, the problem is not that it's hard to think of a way to accomplish what you want, it's that it's hard to figure out what the Angular way is (usually because there is not one way, yet).

Yep, it's the carrier bundle. I have an unlocked Canadian iPhone 5 and when I put a T-moble sim in when travelling to the USA, I get an entry in my stocks app for T-moble.
I once had an employer who gave away .5% of my 401k every year to a no value add consultant who selected the overpriced funds. I lost 1% every year I didn't roll into an IRA, but it beat having the principal taxed @ 25%.

I wonder where the inflection point is where you are better off investing after tax.
No. Bluetooth and Bluetooth LE are distinct, incompatible protocols.
Valve is said to have workstations on moveable desks - you need to work on other project or in quieter place - unplug your desk and roll it to other location.
What evidence do you have to support any of this?

How about you tell me line by line where I'm wrong? Beware that I do this for a living, I help manage quite a few small business sites and know this first hand. I also follow Google's stock and earnings reports. You should read Patrick Pichette's comments about their low CPC and how ad clicks increased by double digits. It's obvious that Search will hand more penalties this quarter to more sites, hoping they advertise and help increase CPC along the way.
Science says otherwise:

> Overwhelming at times? Absolutely.

"At times"? Well, maybe, if you have plenty of time, no paid work to do and no deadline approaching.
It is simple because a simple explanation is possible. Simple doesn't mean "intuitive to proverbial grandmother".

Git is clever, moderately novel and therefore unfamiliar (depending on your background), and simple. There are not many concepts present, and the concepts that are there are not difficult to understand, but those concepts need brief introduction because they are concepts that many will be unfamiliar with.

If you buy a checkers board it will come with a (very simple) rulebook. You aren't born with some sort of natural checkers ability, you have to learn it. Nobody would claim that checkers isn't simple though.

As someone who lived and worked on farms, I agree that they're not practical right now. That said, I'll take on some of your other points.

"there are no food crops that are economical to grow inside a greenhouse" - there are many organic lettuce/greens growers that put lie to this statement.

I don't like the gantry system, mostly because what you stated. Also because it is _extremely_ expensive vs. other methods. If you're doing that, you might as well just put it on wheels and have it drive around.

The radial system can still run more robots - I don't see any restrictions past weight on the arm. It is the equivalent of a circle sprayer, just with robots instead of water.

As for cheap vision/LIDAR, it is most certainly not driven by games. The big Deere tractors are moving away from LIDAR towards sets of stereo cameras because the algorithms are getting better and the cameras are much cheaper and more robust than LIDAR.

I see this device fitting a niche in "black greenhouses" where there aren't any humans involved at all. Totally recycled, totally hermetically sealed environments, like a clean room for plants.
Angular reminds me a lot of enterprise java. Lots of its own conventions, inversion of control and lots of magic.

That being said, I love working with it. It's definitely cumbersome feeling at times though. Despite that, I like the idea of self contained modules, the html binding, and all of the semantics that go with it.

It's definitely an acquired taste though. There are many things that you can do with it that you probably can't take to other javascript frameworks though.
That's interesting...For the longest time, the .org domain that has my name, but that I haven't updated in at least 3 years (and has no real content), was almost always on the first result of Google searches for my name. Now it's nowhere to be seen
" This time I noticed it took up to 3 or 4 attempts before the smart phone spell was broken and the person realized their food was ready."

Does that answer your question well enough already?

As for the book thing, well, no. A lot of these shops have magazines to read, and people still seem to be able to monitor the out side word.

Remember too the first line of my post.
I'm not fully following you: what should these mobile apps allow you to do? Stream the video of a games running on your phone to the steambox to get to the TV?
Like technically correct, "technically owned" is the best kind of ownership.

So it means a lot more words will be parsed as highlighters (like 'how to' or 'where is') of one or more main search terms. I see the big usability leap it will be for very everyday life, natural searches. At the same time the list of almost non searchable terms will be growing so much.

I dread the day I'll have to look for some satiric blog called something like 'how to not' but I won't be sure enough about the exact terms to allow me to search verbatim.

It feels like there's an expanding dark space in the shadow of bright neons.
Seems a dead horse at this point, but this was common-place in Saudi Arabia where I grew up. Migrant workers from Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Phillipines (from memory) and elsewhere were notoriously mistreated.

My mother worked at a TV & Radio broadcast station for a (...the) major oil company there (side job, father was in oil @ same company), and found out the janitorial staff in her building were going both unpaid and unfed during their workdays for months at a time. I remember helping her with food-drives to pull food from expat communities for them.

It was well known to expat kids running around on-compound that 'gardeners' (generally bangladeshi and nepalese) were absolutely second-class citizens. These people were absolutely degraded at the hands of Saudi nationals and expats of a variety of ethnicities and nationalities (yes, westerners too). I've seen them yelled & cursed at, spit on, and beaten by company Security officers (generally al-Dossari Saudi's, but not always). The horror stories are literally countless.

There seems to have been a lot of discussion in this thread as to the effect that religion has played as a cause of this treatment of migrant workers. I DO NOT know (nor believe) that Islam has a direct role to play, but I can say confidently that this is a reflection of culture. There is a general acceptance of inherent difference in levels of humanity that is tied to national (and tribal) identities in many Middle Eastern countries. I would wager that the majority of the population (at the time I was living there, demographics change fast, and there are a boatload of young people in KSA) would tell you that a Sri Lanken / Bangladeshi / Pakistani != a Brit / American / Frenchmen, etc., and not feel that bad about it.

As I observed it, some of these people believed this as coldly as it is stated above, while a great many see it as a fact the whole world thinks this, but their culture/mindset is 'realistic' (shudders) or honest enough to admit it.

I DO NOT believe this is simply a 'rich taking advantage of poor' scenario. In my experience, these people are mistreated far worse than necessary for profit, or probably quite often to the detriment of it. I think it has more to do with cultural definitions of identity than anything else.
Back when I played (15 yrs back?) Black Lotus was the consensus "top" card... I don't even see it on that list, so I'm guessing the game has changed a lot...

Has anyone produced examples of queries that are better than they were before?

Interview with Riley Newman, Head of Analytics at Airbnb
Most folks don't buy another phone and the carrier makes a bundle on $2/min calls from the foreign country.

The smarter folks buy a cheap $30 GSM/CDMA phone before the trip, the even smarter ones have a world phone and confirm it's capable of taking foreign sims (though having a fallback $30 GSM phone isn't a bad idea).
Except, I don't believe a minute of this. I have sisters and cousins.

This is blowing things far out of proportion. It's like watching Mean Girls and then assuming all of high school is like that for every single student.

in a matter of hours

TFA mentions this update happened weeks ago. How are you able to pin this down to the hour and correlate your traffic changes to the algo change if we don't know when the algo change happened exactly?
I worked in web dev 3 years ago, then I moved to WPF. Recently, the place I was at decided to try some web development. Being the only guy with experience in it, i landed the project.

It is blowing my mind, how in 3 years the environment is so different. I'm sure these things existed on the fringes, but its very mainstream now.

When I left, JQuery was the in thing, it was pretty rad. Today i'm doing MVC, unit testing, and code coverage WITH JAVASCRIPT!

ASP.NET MVC is pretty slick too.
Oh good point. There is something sort of acceptable about seeing some one reading and interrupting in a nice way to inquire about the book. Is it acceptable to see some one on their smart phone and inquiring about what they are looking at?
Yes explain to me this concept of "technical" ownership which you dont actually own something.

Shift happened weeks ago, since then I am waiting for any kind of update from google about the algorithm change. Also I am not arguing what time they have deployed the new algorithm, I am just saying that the traffic shift happened in a matter of hours.

Backbone source is insanly easy to read , and it's short. Angular's on the other hand ... but that's the price to pay for it's features.

I would not call Angular magic. Basically there is a "loop", the digest cycle , whereas in Backbone you would add Backbone components to your code.

AngularJS creator worked at Adobe on Flex , and Adobe in fact attempted to create a "AngularJS" for non developers bundled with Dreamweaver ( Spry framework , but databinding was only one way).

I like AngularJS but since i dont do form centric apps ( more reactive documents with a lot of animations,svg or canvas) i went with Ractive + Backbone. Ractive is easier to learn and to use.

But AngularJS is pretty RAD when you have a lot of forms ( an admin panel ,etc ...), and provides a big testing plateform too.

> To me it's a bit like the JavaScript version of Drupal

hmm yeah maybe , drupal hooks are a bit like backbone directives in spirit.
No, no, that's my bad, I didn't read very carefully.

Agreed re: weight, but I think (or at least right now I think I do) that that's not as big a consideration for me -- it seems worth it if it gets me a piece of hardware that's as good as my cintiq. But I agree that could certainly be a turn-off for some.

I'm still waiting for more definite battery data, but I think that might not be more forthcoming until people have had it in their hands for a while.
Exactly. This article is very sensationalist and is only a cross section of dumb people.
More first world problems..
Annoying, isn't it? Every time Frontline or one of the major networks runs a scare story about how much money people are losing due to high fee 401k plans, I get angry. Not so much at the lost money, but that the 'in-depth journalism' never seems to bother with any suggestions on what to do if you're in one of those crummy plans. (To be fair, I guess "quit and go to work for Google or Goldman" wouldn't go over well, either...)
Stanislav Petrov: The man who may have saved the world

Nuclear Winter: Now Easier to Trigger than Ever
Few different alternative reasons: Capital gains are generally taxed at a lower rate than bonuses/salary - therefore in after-tax cash terms a $500,000 signing bonus is not the same as selling shares for $500,000. Potentially different tax treatment from the acquirer side as well.

Also - Investors are commonly the ones that orchestrate the talent acquisitions - therefore they want to get their share of the pie.

Also - shareholders of public companies perceive acquisitions differently than large salaries, both in technical terms (i.e. where the transaction appears on financial statements) as well as psychologically speaking.

Also - its potentially more complex to negotiate individual hires, especially if its a large team. (i.e. Some employees may choose to walk away from an individual hire - maybe the employees you really want. They don't really have that luxury if the deal is dependent on all-or-nothing)

A lot of open floor plans don't address natural light at all, in that there still isn't any or most seats are too far in to really benefit and most of your light still comes from florescent bulbs.

I'd take a private office over natural light any day, the natural light thing is mostly fixable, just buy a couple of floor lamps and put full-spectrum lightbulbs in them, then turn off the overhead florescents. This isn't exactly like natural light, but is close enough in terms of how it looks and proper full-spectrum lighting has been shown to be effective against seasonal affective disorder (I don't suffer from this, but the fact that they work here suggests they are psychologically a good match for people who need natural light).

There's no real fix for open offices though. Headphones introduce a whole host of other problems and don't detract from the visual distractions or constant barrage of people trying to pull you out of flow.

My current job is an open plan office (one that is at least flexible in allowing for a lot of work from home). My next job will absolutely not be in an open office. I've finally decided this is a dealbreaker in terms of any future employment.
The "git way" is just whatever way you want. If you want a central server that you always push to, that is fine; there is no problem with that.

The problem is with that particular tooling. That tooling presents a workflow that is perfectly fine (though it is problematic that it does not facilitate alternative workflows, which becomes particularly problematic when working on a team with other users), but it obscures what is actually going on and executes that workflow imperfectly, generally falling over in rather novel ways. When it fucks something up, and it eventually will, you will need an understanding of the basic concepts underlying git to figure out what went wrong. I'm not saying you need to know how to use the default git porcelain, I'm saying you need to be aware of the concepts underlying git.
Heh, interesting.

To be fair, the rapper 50 Cent deserves the title a lot more than the rapper Rick Ross deserves his. He actually was a crack dealer and he was shot 9 times.
Ugh. I remember being in love with Drupal, before the betrayals, the lies and the abuse. I need a bath.
I think drdaeman meant trivial to use / learn. Like Google search, an incredibly complicated system that's trivial to operate. (Also I sometimes read the AngularJS source when I'm stuck reading the documentation, to be fair it's pretty easy to grok, I submitted my first little pull request a couple of hours after getting an idea.)
Yesterday on ng-torronto meetup I saw picture with graph of AngularJS learning steps - it was like up-n-down function and I absolutely agree :) Many times I felt "it's hardest thing" but after understanding all these things looks pretty simple and powerful. Last most challenging issue was with recursive directive (tree) - it took 2 days, but I understand directives much better and other issues looks trivial now :) But I think it was not last puzzle :)

In my current web app I have a lot of work with collections, and each change should be reflected on UI - without directives and bindings it would be hell. With AngularJS even code is clean.
