That is a bit different. European rules forbid State help to corporations, and the EU ruled that some special tax agreements between states and Apple/Google were indistinguishable from State help.

This is neither tax avoidance (though it made tax avoidance more effective indeed) nor tax evasion, in other words.
I really don't see any benefit or sense in the Flask way of exposing request state through imported globals. It makes testing of views unnecessarily complex: you have to either patch the import or set up the thread local context in every test. And like you mentioned, it encourages unnecessary coupling.

It would be so much simpler to just have a request argument passed to each view.
Honestly, I feel a bit sad about this.

I'm not in any way a republican, but I think he was possibly the least insane.
You can still file separately, but the brackets for singles and married filing separately are different. The brackets for married filing separate is effectively the brackets for married filing jointly except split in half. At lower levels it's the same, but once you get to the higher ends of the 25% and beyond they start to diverge: http://www.bankrate.com/finance/taxes/tax-brackets.aspx

But that "app" doesn't have any real capabilities so what's the point other than bookmarking websites?

There's no background sync, proper offline, no notifications, no (usable) indexeddb, no rtc, no file system, no media sinks, no media sessions ... these are from the top of my head.

You have a point that long time ago Apple was the one pushing the browser as application platform but today is not the same as the long gone past.

Edit: The can-i-use about "web audio" is misleading about Safari. The web audio is prefixed there with "webkit" is not the same as the standard API.

Edit2: Noticed it's not about "web audio" at all but html5 audio. That's an API from 2010 that doesn't really do anything for apps such as games or audio editors. The newer Web Audio API is used for this and that's what I am referring to.
My initial response to the IPB was that, when I graduate from my UK university, I would simply move to some other European state and enjoy less pervasive surveillance.

However, after giving it more than a seconds thought, I realised most of my life I've had no reason to pursue a second language so I am limited to the anglosphere. In addition, 5 of the 6 anglosphere countries form the Five Eyes alliance, so my data would probably go back to the UK government no matter what.
I agree the whitewashing is annoying.
One correction: the 'miniscule, but non-zero' computational power for TLS connections, in particular the handshake, is actually quite significant. (like 0.4s of CPU time in my tests). So the whitewashing problem may be worse than you think!

>> JS is a much more powerful language than the normal preprocessors

to add to the points in the parent post, i'd add that the word "powerful" is being tossed around w/o much consideration here. GOTO is a "powerful" statement in the sense that it lets you "do more" w/ you programs. otoh, it can make programs a lot harder to read about.

that example is probably hyperbole here. i can see the use of mixing "styles" w/ "code" (this is pretty standard in cljs). however, does a decoupled design team really need more than sass/less -- or another way, do the time-savings from the cases where something else would be useful offset the potential complications of the cases where it could muck with other parts of the process?

tl;dr JS "power" may shoot foot
Ohh wow that's a crazy situation. We don't have any children yet but it's good to know.

As for whether or not this petition will make a different, it likely won't, but regardless it'll still have a larger impact than simply ignoring it.
You can always rewrite it if needed. A tactical rewrite of specific heavily-used routes that cuts out unnecessary abstractions often doesn't take too long and gets most of the benefit.

I can't see even a slow interpreted language being unable to process 100 requests/second. That leaves like 40 million clock cycles per request. Especially since they tend to come with built-in bytecode compilers, and most of the pure algorithmic code is written in C. Most web requests just don't take that much work to answer.

Most performance issues I see with web applications are somebody writing ORMTable->find(x) in a loop or the equivalent, and then papering it over with a cache(or 3). Or memory leaks. Or badly-written SQL queries(no index, too many indices, disabling seq scans, using CTEs to elegantly 'refactor' SQL, etc.). Or doing blocking calculations/service requests as part of the original web request. The underlying language is almost never what's holding them back.

>I can't, for the life of me, understand why people associate being a Salafi with the various terrorist groups.

In Europe, foreign-funded Salafi Imams are generally the ones that recruit local Muslims to go fight for ISIS.

To give an actual example, in Bosnia the leader of the Salafi movement has been arrested for recruiting for ISIS.

The Vienna Salafi movement has been found to collect money that was then forwarded to ISIS.

Very interesting article. I particularly liked the paper linked to, the Wallis Ware one.
You say it with absolute certainty, just like people 50 years ago used to say with absolute certainty that we will have flying cars. Well, flying cars are also a huge and unnecessary waste of energy and they didn't happen at all. Automatic cars will probably park themselves in huge automatic multi-story parking lots, like in Japan, why the hell would they be driving around, whoever owns them wouldn't want to put extra miles on them unnecessarily. Even if the electricity to run them was free, you are still using up tires and wearing out bearings , shocks and other elements, it makes no sense.
"All income is taxed the same regardless of the source."

That statement seems simple but isn't. For example, are you using the US definition of income (which specifically allows the deduction of certain expenses related to income-seeking activities)? Or are you using the plain English sense of "money coming in" (in accounting, the revenue number)?

If it's the former, you've already allowed lots of deductions in (raw materials, rent, utilities, salaries, sub-contracted labor, travel, etc), and for a sole proprietor or sub-S corporation, those are taken on the personal income tax return, schedule C.

Concretely, as an individual landlord, can I deduct the mortgage interest on my rental property, or the labor I paid to repaint and replace the carpets from normal wear and tear? Can I deduct the depreciation on the building, reflecting the fact that it "wears out over some characteristic useful life"? If not, why can the C-corp landlord right next to me do that and I can't?

If it's the latter (taxing all receipts), how do you treat businesses with low profit margins if you intend to tax them on revenue and disallow deductions for expenses?

Imagine an airline with massive fixed costs, large variable costs, and slim profit margins. If I pay $1500 to fly round-trip to/from Europe and they make a $50 real-world profit on that, at what rate should they be taxed on the $1500 of revenue?

How much more expensive will groceries become when grocers are taxed at double figure percentages against current gross profits in low single-digit percentages? (And not only the end grocer is taxed thusly, but every step along the chain that isn't vertically integrated will also be taxed that way.) How much will we help the poor and middle class if grocery prices double or triple? Will we now see a bunch of complaints of how Walmart is cheating because they bought up a bunch of farms and other elements in the grocery supply chain or if Coke or General Mills open up supermarket chains (thus minimizing the number of times the revenue is taxed)?
Managing state in CSS is not that good. I would have to add/remove class names from a DOM element. Styling in JS allows you to manage that in one place keeping the component intact with a few dependencies like external colors, fonts and images.
Well, as they say, the first casualty of war is truth, but there are a number of factual events that fit the narrative of Russia under Putin being willing to flex its muscle and encourage instability in its neighbour to the west while inspiring Russians to dream of days of yore when they ruled half of Europe...

There's the numerous videos and reports from organisations like Amnesty International, accusing Russia of basically doing the Assad thing of bombing the shit out of civilian populations in Syria (which is bound to cause more refugees to flee). And then the whole Turkey airspace thing. And then reports of Russian troops conducting large "training exercises" in the exact region they'd need to be to start a war with Turkey... There's the Crimea/Ukraine thing, which fit into that pattern as well.

Overall, no matter which source you read, Russia is currently spelling trouble. I was worried about Trump being elected and starting World War 3 - I'm now worried that even without Trump we might get there thanks to Putin.
>Has there ever been an explanation why the hijackers risked conspicuously attending flight schools under the noses of the US authorities, rather than, say, absolutely any other country in the world?

Because there are more flight schools in the US than anywhere else, and if you want to do some flying in US airspace, those are in the best position to teach how it works, what controls there are, how to avoid them, etc.
The court order was public. Apple didn't reveal anything not already known. This article seems unaware of that fact.

Not really a good analogy. Elephants are not an imported pest animal. And if it was a really old elephant, I think a lot of people would be OK about selling hunting licenses for large sums of money that benefit the community.

A better analogy is cane toads in Australia. Those things have become such a threat to local wildlife, they are killed indiscriminantly. And yes, they are turned into 'art', even if they are tacky http://toadshop.com/7-all-items

> Run one instance of your app per core you have available and use IPTables to round robin (or whatever. you can get fancier if you feel like it) to each app instance.

But if you're using Flask and you have 4 cores with 4 instances, and you're making 4 database requests at the same time you're whole application is suddenly locked. And it's not uncommon for a single view to make up to 4 separate database requests. Most modern web applications are I/O bound, therefore a single Node.js process would have better performance here.

The bigger problem in the future is Iran vs Saudi Arabia. Given they are the leaders of the two major sides of Islam and rivals in the oil business some day they will start shooting at each other. The Iranians may not be a totally unified country but they have experience at war and being a single people whereas SA does not have sufficiently internal loyalty to sustain any kind of real war. The house of Saud would run away with all their money leaving the country behind, somewhat like the Kaiser did at the end of WWI.

I work with both Django and Flask too. The difference is that with Flask you have the flexibility of doing things your way. Useful for systems that don't fit the typical CRUD architecture.
It's all about timing, with C++11/C++14 having changed the language substatially it would be nice to fix some of the issues that templates have caused over the years. Due to new behaviours on the language existing templates might stop working.

Honestly almost any template by itself it's brittle and can fail to execute as predicted depending on the type received. This causes major issues and has to be solved sooner rather than later.

Also important to note that Concepts went through a lot of work and it evolved from concepts to the current concepts lite that was proposed for C++17.

I would like that the committee was a bit more open when mature proposals backed by senior members fail to pass. It could help other people understand the issue and maybe work towards solving it.
This argument is flawed. Free democratic countries do not keep files on the private lives of all their citizens. It doesn't really matter what is done with the files. Their very existence creates a chilling effect which is not compatible with a free open democratic process.

But then you have to explicitly pass the context to everything you call.

> I've always wondered why SML, a language with a proper spec and multiple independent implementations and more coherent design, was overshadowed by OCaml.

IMO it's not much of a mystery. For ~15 years "object oriented" was the biggest buzz word in computer science and OCaml was object oriented, while SML was not. At least in the objects, inheritance, and polymorphic way people wanted.
Huh, interesting. I'm pretty sure those weren't available last time I checked.
The purpose of the non-disclosure sections of this law is to prevent the suspect being wiretapped (or similar) knowing that they're being wiretapped.

It's not exactly very useful if someone under active investigation finds out that they're being watched, and changes their communications behaviour as a result.

In this case, it wouldn't need to be applied as the suspect is dead.
Yes, MISRA, but it doesn't help if it isn't followed which seemed to be what was discovered when the Toyota code was examined.

I think you interpreted the essay as an argument for or against DOIs, which it isn't.

The two arguments in the essay deal with the sentence: "I think there are two main reasons for the disdain many people seem to feel at the thought of allowing authors to freely cite DOI-less objects in academic papers."

As you say, "Anyone can get a doi for anything they want really." This essay describes a services for doing exactly that.

The essay argues why "quality" is not relevant, which I think you agree with.

Switching topics, you write that DOIs are "unique and unambiguous and easy to detect."

They are supposed to be unambiguous. In practice, there are errors. Consider 10.1021/c160038a601 available from http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/c160038a601 . It's a letter to the editor titled "A Utility Analysis for the MCC Topological Screen System" and supposedly by F. Bruce Sanford. If you look at the page you'll see there are two letters to the editor. Hamilton is the actual author of that letter, while Sanford is the author of a different letter to the editor.

There is also supposed to be unique. However, given that "Anyone can get a doi for anything they want really" this means someone can use multiple DOI services to get multiple DOIs for the same thing.

Forgive me. It was definitely not my intention. I especially do not want it to somehow replace income tax. I think we need a very progressive income tax to the point where it is essentially an income cap (my proposal is a 90% tax on income that is over 2000 * 100 x the minimum wage per hour or 100x the basic income payment per year in case we get there).

My idea for no deductions and no exclusions was mostly directed at individuals.

Both won't be an option for hosting a production environment but for toying around both look like good alternatives.

Language shouldn't be a barrier, especially in western Europe. While people will appreciate it if you speak their language (and you should try to learn it), there are so many languages spoken across Europe that English is the default interchange language. And if I remember correctly, some German companies even require staff to speak English at work just so employees from different countries can all understand each other.

If you have the right to live & work in the EU, you're very lucky & years ahead of some of us. I've been learning German for 5 years & spent a lot of time looking into the EU Blue Card program.
