    I nearly turned down my current job because they were using a default contract that had clauses like that in it. It also said that they have control over everything on my computer,…

    Yep, that's the right way to phrase it, and I believe I've actually seen it phrased that way in older (read: bigoted) opinions on the topic.

    Yep. The $http service in angular core basically does your standard Http stuff (with some nifty additions like caching and promises), but people have built services to do sockets, …

    This is brilliant! One feature request though: It'd be cool if the microphone icon toggled the voice recognition, rather than simply enabling it. I couldn't figure out if there was…

    Same for me in New York (they have a warehouse in New Jersey, apparently). Maybe this program will be one of those "less than 30 minutes or it's free" deals? Or possibly delivering…

    I did an informal poll of my coworkers, and "facepaper" won over "Facebook Paper" and "paperbook."

    I wish there was a service similar to Square Cash where I could send arbitrary amounts of money around the world without dealing with bank transfers / Western Union / etc. It would…

    As others have said, logic and basic algebra are integral to programming, but I understand the sentiment that "hard math" isn't necessary. And I sort of agree. As a front-end devel…

    I'm not a libertarian, so I can't speak on OP's argument, but in NYC the ability for renters to sublet their apartments is enshrined by law, and technically any contract that doesn…

    I agree wholeheartedly. Pilot programs, while not definitive, have shown drastic reductions in complaints against officers, as well as use of force: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/…

    I would throw money at anyone who made a Culture movie (as ironic as that action would be). Also, what about a Vorkosigan movie? Though I think it'd actually work pretty well as a …

    Same. I really, really hope no researcher/terrorist/researcher-terrorist releases some kind of grey goo in the next hundred years. That sounds like a terrible way to die.

    Attributes also work for directives, though I like using ng-cloak as a class. I think in the future (next year, when my company will probably drop ie8 support) I'll start using cus…

    I'm also into UI stuff, and I found this article really interesting: http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/controldeck.php It was linked to in the Star Citizen forums, in a …
