The issue is that Go comes with enough included in the standard library that it could be considered a web framework. If you're just build a few rest endpoint or a simply site, you may not need to leave the standard library.

Compare that to a language like Python or Ruby, where you need something "extra" to make it easier to do a web application. You could certainly do with just the standard library in other languages, but very few would choose that option, because it would involve write a lot of additional code.

I think it fair to include Go, because it's a language/programming environment, that comes with it's one built in web framework. A framework that's actually advanced enough that many don't need to look else where.
"1) Become genuinely interested in other people."

I'm not sure about the origin of this idea, but I believe it is Ken Kesey... the gist being that charisma isn't so much the ability to get people to like you as the ability to get yourself to like other people.
Browsers should compete on performance. As long as dart2js outputs efficient JavaScript (current benchmarks: https://www.dartlang.org/performance) so that Dart code runs well on browsers without the VM, I think it's fine if some browsers run Dart more efficiently than others. Consider Dart VM as an accelerated way to run Dart code which otherwise runs fine in other browsers.

To be very clear, Dart runs across the modern web when you compile it to JavaScript, so it's not a language that works only in one browser.

I'm still worried about the pop-psychology of "well, good candidates should have <stories>, and he didn't have a <story>, so he's not a good candidate." Just substitute other words in for "story" and you get more of a gut-feel that often doesn't translate into real world success.

> ... many journals, ... require you to transfer copyright of your article to them.

Nearly all of them, in my experience.
A promise to publish is worth nothing. An enforceable obligation to publish might be worth something. But if I were the judge, I think I would put the onus on Elsevier to show how Elsevier's nonmonetary compensation provides value to the author, especially if they were required to transfer their copyrights. From here, it looks like an enormous scam perpetrated on researchers to force them to run full speed on a virtual hamster wheel in order to keep their jobs or get promoted.

And if you also consider all the fake papers submitted as integrity checks on the system that got accepted, it looks as though it's high time for researchers, professional associations, and universities alike to forcibly cut out the middleman and abandon his tainted brands.
Awesome point. Do you have any reading/strategy you'd suggest? One thing I'm doing is open courseware like CS50 from Harvard. Do you think that sort of work is worthwhile with regard to what you mentioned? Study algorithms? Do topcoder challenges? Project Euler? I'm open to whatever it takes :)

... which is the other problem with TED: it's not really an open platform.
The short answer is that the effective use of the protocol is almost entirely based on the quality of the network of peers involved in distributing the content. For a relatively small internal network that can be quality-controlled by a single team, this may work more effectively than a single centralized service. For the Internet, this is retarded. See PDFs below for some example reasons.

The long answer would have me explaining all of the different use cases of both decentralized and centralized services and a comparison for each. For example, compare bulk file transfer to a domain name service in truly decentralized networks. Keeping domain names requires massive coordination of peers over a gigantic index which can't have conflicts. Bulk file transfer is almost the opposite, as few people have the records (torrent) and the task is mainly in distributing the index (the file). Both are simpler, more efficient, and more reliable if you take out the middle-man of trying to coordinate with more than one peer.

Note that I defined/proved the non-existence of a market at $5000 (in exchange for 20 minutes of any operator's personal time) and you countered by claiming a (possible) willingness to pay at $500. Thus proving my point. It doesn't really matter what reason you gave, which in your case was trust. Ordinarily that could be countered with escrow or a lack of up-front payment, but this still does not happen, that market still doesn't exist. You can't pay someone whatever revolutionizing your marketing is worth, after you've given them a chance to do so in just 20 minutes and seen, "yep, that works". Doing so would feel wrong to you.

"I'm not saying that there isn't a person out there who can revolutionize my marketing in 20 minutes" - I'm saying you wouldn't pay them to do so in line with what doing so would/should be 'worth' to you. There is no market to pay to revolutionize your marketing in 20 minutes, at a pricing that is based on what it should be worth for you to do so. Doesn't exist. You wouldn't pay it. Imagine what "revolutionaizing your marketing" means, image what "revolutionizing your marketing" would be worth to you - do you have that figure in mind? Now imagine paying that to someone for 20 minutes of their time. You wouldn't. Neither would anyone else. That market doesn't exist.

Good question, I'd have to run some queries. dart.googlecode.com and github.com/dart-lang are the two main locations. We receive more patches for the libraries and docs than we do for the VM. But we have received patches for dart2js (a fairly complicated bit of code).

I work for Treehouse. The 4-day work week is amazing and I feel it'd be very hard to go back to 5 days a week.

What do I do on my Fridays?

If I have errands, they get run. I usually pop-in and off my computer. Sometimes I actually am working, but I'm "playing". I'm a data scientist and I love my job. I love working on my tools and I love trying new methods. So I might be improving my D3.js skills. Or learning Python (like I have been). Or teaching myself new Bayesian analysis, or survival analysis methods. So in once sense I work on Fridays, in the other hand it feels like play. And I'm not obligated, so I can get up whenever.

Also, this isn't every Friday or weekend. Many weekends are just non-tech play, like a trip to Boston.

In general, my stress level is way down. I feel focused and happy to be at work when I'm "there" (I work remotely, another Treehouse core value). I think about Treehouse, much more than 4 8-hour days a week, but it's so much more pleasurable! I'm totally thankful to work for Treehouse.
"except serious financial crimes"

No, you're being unreasonable. If someone has come from a big company where getting something done involves submitting a form in triplicate and waiting, and you drop them into an environment where they've got to hustle to get anything from anyone else in the company, they'll be lost. Similarly if you took someone from a startup and dropped them into a huge organisation, they would be equally nonproductive.

True story, a few companies ago I worked at a medium sized place where we had people employed full time to allocate storage and IP addresses. Getting them to actually do it tho' was like getting blood from a stone. Unless one of them owed you a favour, you would literally have to stand over them and not let them go until they did their damn jobs. That was a highly dysfunctional company. The next place, the people in those jobs practically fell over themselves to help, they were like a breath of fresh air. As a consumer of these services, I'd have alienated myself immediately if I hadn't taken the time to adapt to the culture. And if I'd been going the other way, well I'd have got nothing accomplished, expecting people to actually want to do jobs they're bloody paid for. AArgh.

Neither of them is "wrong" and both of them can adapt - but someone's got to take them aside and explain the lay of the land, not just leave them to flounder.

When people compare train travel in the US to Europe, they tend to forget the huge differences in distance. Washington, DC to Miami is five times the distance as Rome to Florence.

Trains are a better value than flying when the difference between the two trips is only an hour or two, so that the advantage of not having to go through security and getting dropped off downtown actually pays off. For longer trips, the fast that a plane travels five to ten times faster really shows.

That's why the North East Regional service, especially the shorter routes (i.e. DC to New York or New York to Boston, and points in between) is much more effective than flying. They also have free WiFi (with middling reliability), more comfortable seats, and outlets in every row.

As an addition, I've also found that most people overlook how convenient, affordable, and quick intercity bus service is in the US. On most routes, a bus will offer more departures for about 1/5 the cost of the train and 1/10 the cost of flying. The seats aren't as comfortable, but for short routes, it's only a little bit slower.
Momentary derail:

> I say things [PG] dislikes...

You seem to frequently and loudly say a lot of things about Google that many current and past Googlers consider to be misguided and largely incorrect. For a very long while it seemed that you were posting these statements on pretty much every Google-related article that made it to the front page. I suspect that your comments would get massively up-voted because:

1) Your writing style is strident and self-assured. Someone who writes so confidently is highly likely to be correct!

2) You're speaking poorly of an SV darling. Contrary opinions must be heard!

Time and time again, your comments became the dominating thread of discussion, even if (as was very frequently the case) they had nothing to do with the issues raised in the article that they were attached to. This distressed me and others, and was made even more distressing by your tendency to speak about one of only a very few topics. The first time I saw your complaint about Google's promotion system attached to an article about the tech behind "Google's" self driving cars, I was sympathetic. The fifth time, however...

I argue that if the ability for your comments to become top-placed comments has been restricted, it's not because you've said things that PG doesn't like. It's because you've seriously derailed productive, on-topic conversation in numerous threads by repeating pretty much the same largely-off-topic complaints about a former employer that you had several bad experiences with.

I'm a strong proponent of free speech, but I also strongly support efforts to encourage meaningful, on-topic discussion.

If more policy-makers had to deal with this situation in their neighborhoods, seeing their nephews get locked up with hardened criminals, the situation would change. They don't, so it doesn't, and young black men turn into statistics.

That's right, and historically encouraging authors to use vendor-specific stuff by making that the easiest thing to do, whether it be filter:progid:DXImageTransform, WebKit prefixes, ActiveX banking plugins, or what have you, has been bad for user choice.

To give just one example, WebKit asked authors not to rely on WebKit prefixes, but they did and now we're in the situation where just yesterday I wasn't able to use clippercard.com on Firefox for Android because the design was so broken as to be unusable. :(

He was making two points, the first that it isn't being applied evenly (just because it's applied evenly after a guilty verdict, that doesn't change the fact that the system is less willing to find certain people guilty in the first place). The second point is then that people are treated badly after being found guilty, regardless of race.

There are no attempts to standardise Dart, it's just the rubber-stamping of Dart by ECMA. Think C#.
We wait first for Google to put Dart into Android development... then we'll take a look at him.
"Control" of any language is held by those with commit access to the dominant implementation of that language, regardless of the existence of any formal specification. In the absence of at least two healthy and competing implementations, an ECMA standard will do nothing to alleviate the concerns that people have voiced regarding Dart.
And that this is what he was up against as a suit wearing white person. Others get it much worse.
