For ember I feel like the official guides[0] are a good place to start. I found that a lot of other guides or blog posts where heavily out of date, since ember has changed quite a lot in the last couple of months. There are two other guides that I skipped over, which seemed to be pretty good [1][2].
For phonegap I always just used the official docs[3] and stackoverflow for times when i was stuck. There is one thing i can highly recommend though: Install the webview-debug plugin[4] for phonegap. With that you can make use of the awesome remote debugging functionality on android.[5]
And one more resource I can highly recommend is brunch.io[6]! It is a tool to help you structure your html/js app, it bundles all your files together, compresses them and spits out 3 files in the end: index.html, app.js and vendor.js. And that's the 3 files you put into your phonegap folder. You can even setup brunch.io to automatically push those files into your phonegap folder everytime you change something. This is not ember specific either. There are nice sceletons to get you started with backbone, spine, angular, etc..
Well, that is a different kind of designer/developer hybrid.
I gave it this title to make it clear that I was not entering into this discussion: it is for people who design websites in Photoshop, whether by choice or because it is the industry standard tool.
From the company, not the participants of the retreat! That percentage is also not unusual; 1/4 - 1/3 of the first year's salary seems like a pretty common range. Who would you rather have your future employer pay that fee? Some annoying headhunter, who only connects 2 parties or a skill-boost camp that supports your growth as a developer over several months. Just my 2 cents.
I'd say it is basic game theory and statistics.
If we have population of individuals who exhibit three types of behaviour:
A - altruistic (1% of population)
E - egoistic (1% ...)
N - Normal (randomly A or B 98% of population)
Let's them play a game where E - type has muuuuch better chances to win....
It is obvious that the proportion of E - types in the winner population will grow during the tournament.
This explain the current state of world affaires: Usually 'Supreme Leader' is the "biggest bastard of them all"...
It's basic extrapolating-without-data is what it is. You have a theory, well, let's call it a hypothesis ("a person who reaches CEO level is someone who will not behave altruistically"). You even have a simple model which mostly agrees with the hypothesis (not completely, I'll note) and which relies on several more untested hypotheses. Both the hypothesis and the model predict certain things about the world. You can check! Are those predictions borne out in reality? (˙˙˙ʎʃʃɐǝɹ ʇoᴎ :ɹǝʍsu∀)
Isn't this exactly the reason why these companies, which are infinitely more influential than the person who leaked it, have a civic obligation to take a stand?
