Do you do any type of web development? You don't really have any choice if you do. You can do a lot of things server side, but once the code has left your server, your technology is limited to what the users browser supports.

All browsers I know of support JS(EMACScript), HTML, CSS. They may support other things, but often not all of them do. Javascript itself is a very basic language, and a lot of the build in methods are either not intuitive or are complex in its access and you have know the nuances of the language to work with it.

These frameworks often provide more intuitive access to JS by applying patterns such as MVC on top of JS. You could do this yourself in JS, but why?

I will give your question credit that it does seem like there are a TON of libraries for Javascript and it seems like every day there is a new library promising something in Javascript.

TL;DR: Javascript is the only widely-supported way of coding in a browser.

#1 Very true. If you are creating a lot of personal projects than you can hop on many bandwagons, but for a majority of enterprise coding, have the web stack + C#/Java/Other major language is all that will be required of you.

Their reasoning seems to be gimmickry. I've read several excerpts that state that they are considering this because the "young crowd is demanding eco-friendly vehicles". This is a terrible reason to just build an electric vehicle.

I think they need to take a cue from Tesla and make it all about the neat features that Electric vehicles can provide, such as quicker acceleration, no transmission, etc. Just my 2 cents anyways.

IMO this Article is full of feel-good stories and not enough actual data to back up what really happens? How these people starting to put money into investments/retirements/savings? Are they spending it on frivolous things?

It sounds like they are grateful for the health insurance as they or their family had health problems, but it sounds like the article isn't examining the actual data of what happens when their wage is doubled.

I see they are only following other government organizations. I think it would be hilarious if they chose a handful of people in the US population to follow, just to freak those people out.

Exactly, this valuation doesn't sound insane. They actually have a revenue model, where they are generating cash, and it's not based on some wishy-washy "we plan on doing ads" plan in the future.

I don't know if this factors in the Cities/States they live in. Don Draper is NY if I'm not mistaken and I know the Cost of Living there can be very expensive, so I was surprised to see his salary come in a lot lower than what I would expect.

Fair enough. I wasn't really trying to dig at overall quality of headphones, but rather the quality of the connectors and the fact that the 3.5mm connectors probably aren't the problem for these ranges.

Any audiophiles care to weight in on this? The article makes mention of quality for the lightning adapter, but I've heard that the human hearing range and other factors can often make it such that these things don't matter to anyone except exceptional individuals.

Sorry, that was a very pessimistic way to phrase it, but you got what I meant. I didn't mean for it to be so pessimistic.

I find this interesting. Looking at Computer Science, it dropped off sharply after 2005 and I'm struggling for an explanation. My first idea was that there was an influx of CS majors from the 2001 period who started prior to the bubble, than just stayed to complete their degree.
