For those folks not already hanging out in #documentcloud... here's the log of this afternoon's Ember/Backbone politics discussion.

12:21 PM <wycats> jashkenas: hey
12:21 PM <wycats> jashkenas: I'm sorry
12:21 PM <wycats> how would you like me to describe backbone?
12:21 PM <wycats> let's work this out for once and for all :)
12:21 PM <wycats> I'm definitely not intentionally saying incorrect things about backbone
12:22 PM • knowtheory gets out popcorn
12:24 PM <jashkenas> don't worry about it too much -- I'm just not terribly pleased with backbone being continued to be used as the strawman...
12:24 PM <wycats> jashkenas: I am worried about it a lot

// Format a number into a dollar string.
Card.prototype.formatDollars = function(num) {
  var chars = (Math.round(num) + '').split('').reverse();
  var result = [];
  while (chars.length > 3) {
    result = result.concat(chars.slice(0, 3));
    result.push(',');
    chars = chars.slice(3);
  }
  result = result.concat(chars);

wycats> soooo
1:15 PM <wycats> back-of-the-envelope
1:16 PM <wycats> what frustrates me about election night coverage is this:
1:16 PM <wycats> we have awesome data
1:16 PM <wycats> but I have to watch TV to let Chuck Todd tell me that some county leans Republican and it's not all in yet
1:16 PM <wycats> and draw statewide projections
1:16 PM <wycats> humans are actually not even very good at that
1:17 PM <wycats> what I want is an election scoreboard that shows clearly how states are trending, based on county-level results from the last N elections
1:17 PM <wycats> I know newsrooms are leery about making projections, but this wouldn't be calling anything
1:17 PM <wycats> it would just be showing visually what people are trying to cram into 30s here and there on TV
