That is exactly what I thought it said until I just read your post -=o|

Simply, Thank You!
oneshoe··on Obama Expands Surveillance Powers on His Way Out
This is an obviously optimistic question but, I will present it anyway.

Is it possible that through expanding the, what I believe to be, unconstitutional power of surveillance that they are actually weakening it and providing an opportunity for it to be fought against by the ACLU (or other civil liberty groups)?

Well, you should be only registering .io domains anyway ;)
oneshoe··on Show HN: Ballotter, an Online Video Debating Platform for Our Discussions
Hello. I really like this idea and just watched a debate and did enjoy it.

I do like the idea of it of aggregated and real time feedback from the viewers however, My only suggestion is to make the cheers and jeers a little less intrusive. I'm just not that interested in the peanut gallery and, (for me) it interferes with the fluidity of the very short time frame people have to talk.

Great work though - I'm very interested to see how this does.

oneshoe··on Video Games Satisfy Basic Human Needs
Anecdotally, I really enjoyed Rogue Legacy and objectively, it was an extremely successful game that has a high rating both from professional reviewers and community reviews [https://www.google.com/search?q=Rogue+legacy&oq=Rogue+legacy]. Unless you were there or know people who were, saying something like, "because they think..." will not go far at ycombinator (from what I've seen).

This article and not to mention the entire site is way too sensational to consider.
oneshoe··on Ask HN: Given opportunity to become manager. What do I do?
For sake of perspective I am a VP of my IT department (smaller company, about 300 employees, about 40 reporting to me)

1) Me, personally: I wouldn't ask for a raise (and this might be me just being pedantic) but I'd ask IF the role change has a scheduled raise and what is to be expected. I'd use this answer to help me make a decision. I'd (me, personally) would assume the role would have a minor raise and future raises based on my performance in that new job. I'd try to secure a 15-20 percent increase in pay for moving to a manager role - which, btw, is hard. Moving into a manager role means learning a new job - this isn't (or shouldn't be) your other job with a couple new responsibilities. This is an entirely new job that isn't your old job... sure, you can help people when they ask but that is entirely different than hiring/firing, writing people up, or trying to determine what sort of a raise somebody deserves.

2) Be humble. Find a mentor. Read a lot. Be humble. Be humble, be humble. I believe that power exposes more than it corrupts but it can also corrupt. Work from goals. Give clear expectations. Also, you may not like this role. I've hired a lot of developers leaving their company because they were great developers that were put into management roles and learned to hate it. Good luck! Me, I love it. (to each their own)

3) Learn. Read. Read. Learn. Read... and remember: In theory practice always works, in practice theory doesn't - You are now dealing with PEOPLE not COMPUTERS. People are emotional beings and often unknowingly irrational. HOW you say something is much more important than WHAT you say.

Lastly - learn to manage UP as much as you learn to manage DOWN.

Best of luck!

oneshoe··on Angular 2 Final Released
I now have several Aurelia apps in production. I've also created an app in Angular (v1), and another using Ionic (v1) - which was great. But, I can't express how well Rob and his team executed on this project. Documentation could be a little better in a couple areas but this is a place where they've done extremely well also (contradiction I know - but, for example the cheat sheets are amazing and documentation is complete on most things but there are some classes that are still not documented well enough). If you want to develop in Aurelia - just the community on Gitter - they are extremely responsive and very helpful.
