Or, you can just move to a more reasonable region. I'm expecting more startups coming from the EU and Asia because of the difference in regulations. (And while they will be sued in the US and other places, they will have plenty of business opportunities elsewhere).

Looking at a command-line client (geeknote) I think I can go on without the json/xml format. Thanks for the suggestion, I haven't used evernote for a while and forgot about it.

Maybe in your case they have Hadoop, but not everyone is satisfied with Hadoop or wants to create new systems with it. Choice is good, as long as we can differentiate the choices by the values they provide.

They do - if they have ownership too. But project managers won't like to give up the ownership, they just push for more features in less time. There goes your hope for responsible complexity management...

I have two MSc from a great non-US university, working with H1B for a top IT corp in SV. My wife has the same two MSc, staying home with H4.

I have seen similar patterns among other H1B/H4 immigrants (e.g. same university, same education, yet only one of them is allowed to work).

I think the US should do what Singapore has done a long time ago: open up its job market for high-skilled professionals, as it will bring in talent, know-how and experience. Otherwise, as soon as the H1B term expires, all of this talent will go back to their countries, improving their economies. (Not that there is anything wrong with it, but from the US point of view, it is better to have the talent in the US than at any other place.)

I disagree about being pointless. I am using my rear view camera, and it prevented some minor accidents. If you haven't seen such so far, you are probably lucky, others are not.

My Ford Focus has one, and I hadn't any problems with it. That and the proximity sensors are great features, I'm glad that they will become part of every car eventually.

Then it becomes a big and successful corporation that is usually loathed here. No strategy can win this game :)

Why not just use web components?

This was my quick conclusion too. The app they have built is is very portlet-like, anyway. Nothing wrong with that, but I don't think it suits every need.

> a large and complex JavaScript application is maintainable

Can you describe the size and complexity of the apps that you have done with this framework?

Everything inside a huge data-bind="" attribute? Man, that becomes crowded pretty soon (e.g. binding the label and the onclick with just a "," separation is just the simple case, 4-6 binding is not unusual on a single component).

A new browser performance benchmark has born?

Just because someone have not commented on something does not mean they are guilty. They might not know about it. Some people live in the real world, with a large latency to news, e-mail or social media outlets. Yeah, I know, it is strange.

You can't protect the users this way: the attacker will create a custom Chromium build and lure the user to download and execute it. At that point the user will be pawned either way.

Married to a US citizen seems to be more an exception than the rule, as most H1B folks I know (incl. myself) move with their wife.

This is an implementation choice, and not the failure of infinite scrolling: you could embed the infinite scrolling inside a DIV and have a visible footer DIV underneath. Or alternatively, implement a sticky footer, or e.g. a fixed footer that appears on certain conditions.

I'm working on an infinite-scroll widget, and I have a very specific insight into this: if you know the number of non-visible rows and their heights upfront, it can be implemented in a way that doesn't jump around. If you can estimate the heights closely, you can make the jumps less disturbing (but still noticeable in the trained eyes).

Unfortunately this is rarely the case, with a few exceptions, e.g. a spreadsheet, where you know everything upfront.

It is very likely that they are not focusing on the information being told, but instead they are picking up non-verbal communication clues.

Ruining someone's reputation is not something only a government could do. Companies with enough money and a few (black-hat) SEO experts might be able to pull a large-scale reputation-kill to anyone who is an upcoming competitor or a pain-in-the-ass person. Small-scale reputation hacks happen all the time. What the heck, there is an industry where you can pump your own reputation up legally.

So the question is: how can we protect ourselves from any of these efforts (may or may not be coming from a government)?

This is a really great tool. I'm wondering how hard it would be to use it with JSON structures too? Maybe the XML validation runtime could become much simpler?

The problem is not that they couldn't, but they wouldn't. Most of the large bay area companies believe that there is more value in the chit-chat and overheard conversations at the micro kitchen, than in solving the remote work problems.

Most of the things he describes can be done with Dart's async and collections libraries. Compiles to js, works on server side, used in production. Even if someone wants to reinvent the wheel, they should take a look at those libraries and see how it is done there.

I'm with you in this. The question is, however, how it affects the number of shares? Did anyone take A/B testing with this?

> If open sourcing the code removes most (or all) the value you propose creating, that's a warning sign.

I tend to disagree here: if source code provides your core values, that is a good sign for a healthy business opportunity. Creating your own competition (by open sourcing it) might make sense in some scenario, but it is not a universal good.

Having tried to setup a few local git repositories myself, I do appreciate the easy install part. This is a really handy tool for a small company that is not much into figuring out all the details of gitorious or gitlab.

Keep up the good work guys!

Thanks, that is a good ballpark figure.

Do they have public numbers on how much they make with this model?

Where is toJson in the Dart Editor? (I'm looking for it in 1.1.1, but couldn't figure it out.) And does it have a fromJson generator too?

They usually omit the phrase "shortage of developers we can afford".
