Given that Snapchat's business proposition is based on deliberately ephemeral data....

Not anymore. They recently transformed into a PPV DVR.

Just wanna say, huge fan of UI Router, thank you so much for your hard work! Makes my life so much easier :)

Same boat here. Really like UI Router. $stateParams saves me so much time.

eg, Material Design with paper cards and drop shadows

Has there been a consensus reached on whether or not this could have been a factor in the death of Michael Hastings? [0]

One of my good friends is a veteran of the USMC, who served two tours in Afghanistan. While deployed, he sustained injuries to his hip and brain. As a result, his mobility is impaired, and he has lost half of his field of vision.

Until his town succumbed to the taxi lobby and banned ridesharing, he was able to run errands, get groceries, and take care of himself. Now, he is counting down the days in captivity, waiting until he can once again be self-sufficient thanks to autonomous vehicles. Keep up the great work, Google et al, and let's hope that day comes soon :)

Along the lines of people who think mass surveillance is a good thing:

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” ― Edward L. Bernays, Propaganda

Chrome overtook IE because it is (or at least at the time, was) a superior product.

Only partly. Much was peer pressure. Much was Google's homepage selling it to you.

And the same could be said about Firefox, yet it never happened.

Damn it, since Firefox canceled their deal with Google the latter has taken to pitching Chrome whenever a Firefox user visits Google.com.

Are you even remotely surprised, digi_owl?

Yeah, an advertisement on the most popular web site in the world stating "Download the faster browser" has nothing to do with it, I'm sure.

Years of cleaning malware off Windows PCs has taught me that average users will click on anything that offers to make their computer faster.

The Creature from Jekyll Island is one of the best books I've ever read, highly recommend it.

Oh yeah? Well American Millennials are by far the world's most educated and knowledgeable about anthropology, sociology, race and gender studies, psychology, social media activism (aka, changing your Facebook default pic to #KONY2012), beer pong, how to find a good deal on Etsy, et al. When would we ever need to use that math stuff when uploading selfies, binging on Netflix, or ordering pour over coffee?

Are you really including the humanities with beer pong, selfies and Netflix?

I've run into the date formatting issue that others are mentioning, and just this weekend I discovered the hard way that the V8 JSON parser does not correctly parse the following hierarchy:

object --> array --> object --> array

I must have spent a few hours trying to figure out why Angular wasn't iterating through the first array, only to discover that it was being parsed like so:

object --> object --> object --> object

That does not seem plausible. That would break a million different things. Are you sure you're interpreting your results correctly? Do you have a test case you can share?

I couldn't repo this. What am I missing?
