That still doesn't make any sense. If the property isn't rezoned in the future, do they go back to previous tax payers and refund them the "excess" taxes? What if the property does better than was anticipated? Do previous tax payers now have to cough up more in arrears?

Ben@Pressed.net,
Thanks, Ben
I found that whole music performance from the article very weird. It seemed disrespectful to all of the people that actually worked and supposedly died on this project.
right. not to be unkind but i follow ethereum and i dont have time to read every whitepaper that comes out. unless there is a good website that explains how and why, it doesn't matter what the technical details are. i skimmed the whitepaper before i even posted, its just that when twitter/facebook ect launched or even simple bank or wealth front for something fintech they weren't:

* send text to internet, read whitepaper.

* banking, read the whitepaper

* easier investing, wp

they explained what they did, which was not only obvious because they were way more traditional, but neccessary.

so i don't care about another derivatives play in the space that didn't put a what we do section in

edit: if i have to read your whitepaper to figure out why i would use your product you lost. every blockchain company releases a whitepaper, but they need to build community and security. id think it was astroturfing/sabotage if not for the 1990s

I love it. How did you put this together :D
Thanks for your comment! I did split the data in two, but it's easy to miss. X_test and X_train are the two sets. ann_input.set_value(X_test) then switches in the test values. That's identical to running make_moons() again.

Actually, persistent storage is fairly hard in itself. Look at what ZFS does to ensure data integrity in the face of phantom writes, dropped writes, bad controllers, and other implicit, non-fatal failures.
I'm quite sure the etcd issues was "just because" of how we operated it. But the point is that I have had these issues with Etcd, using the default CoreOS configuration of Etcd, and I've not had these issues with Gluster despite having Gluster volumes running many times as long.

Gluster had many issues too when it was a young project, but they were fixed many years ago. I don't doubt that Etcd too will become solid enough for me to trust, but looking at part of the docs [1] we still have "gems" such as "Permanent Loss of Quorum Requires New Cluster" (you don't lose your data to that one, but it's painful nevertheless).

And yes, I've run into that one. Not "permanent" as in "we could never recover the machines in question", but "permanent" as in "we're not going to be able to get this sorted fast enough, so let's fail everything over". Everything else we run can handle that scenario easily. We know it means consistency issues, but if you run into that situation we have taken the decision that they are acceptable and will be resolved later if necessary. The last thing I need in a scenario like that is for some critical component to just refuse to run without requiring lots of manual intervention.

All we'd like would be to be able to say "ok, drop all the other members and pretend all is well, and yes we know what we're asking". There are a number of gotcha's like that with Etcd that sounds find until they bite you in the ass.

They'll resolve these things eventually, but storage is the very last place I'd be willing to take risks with it. So until they have years of track record of running flawlessly, with less hassle than Gluster or Ceph, and substantial advantages, I'll see it as the dangerous choice.

I wanted to create something to help teach people concise writing without the pain of conventional writing classes. The result is a kind of "gamified" "learning by doing" sort of approach.

This is just an initial 'MVP' release so basic validation, leaderboards, etc. are still on the roadmap.

Most of the vehemence is in regards to privately held companies which can't directly be shorted. In fact, that may actually contribute to the odds of the company being overvalued.
ZFS still also have the issue of having to perform well. You have a point, but ZFS is still trivial compared to a proper distributed filesystem, and you could achieve the same reliability much easier than ZFS if you sacrificed the performance.

This article is pretty poorly written. First off, methylphenidate is a phenethylamine - not an amphetamine. Its chemical structure doesn't resemble amphetamine. Secondly, Adderall is not simply dextroamphetamine, it is a racemic mixture of both amphetamine salts.

There have been studies showing that amphetamine leads to definitive cognitive improvement in the general population. Why restrict it? Human beings have a special relationship with psychostimulants.

Courts of course should always be last resort, after all, there could be fraud (e.g. if the CEO was deliberately hiding some information that would have increased the market price).

But the problem with this ruling is, that it's ridiculous - the court's argument is basically that the "fair value" is above what PE paid because PE wanted to make a profit! It basically contradicts the whole idea of the market (buying something if you think it's worth more than the current price)!
One person's laughing and ridicule is another person's blasphemy, defamation, and hate speech.

Yes. Around 2011, the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation was trying to get the UN to push for worldwide criminalization of "defamation of religion."[1] That didn't happen, but it was a close thing.

This is last-mile performance. We test from thousands of locations within India and other markets. Better latency in Singapore and UAE could be explained by better connectivity in those places in comparison with India.

Scala Decompiled: What We Can Learn from JVM Bytecode – Toptal
I wonder as well. I haven't been on an on-time train in Germany in the past year and a half.
YCM uses racerd (https://github.com/jwilm/racerd) which keeps everything in a daemon process's memory instead of reparsing every time. It's a good bit faster (at least on my machine), but it uses racer under the hood for recommendations.

Ask HN: Is assigning an ID to every HTML element bad practice?
I'm creating a single-page app in vanilla JS with a very small amount of jQuery, primarily for animation.

I'm currently using IDs in my JS views to select elements from the HTML, resulting in the majority of elements having an ID. I've developed a naming schema so this isn't getting too out of hand currently but I'm concerned about future ramifications. Is IDing virtually everything that could be selected considered an acceptable practice, or am I missing a cleaner and more efficient way to select elements?

2 Full Stack / Machine Learning Engineers

We are two polyglot full stack senior engineers.

We've both used Ruby since 2004 and Rails since version 0.13. We have a few web apps (used by thousands daily) that run on NodeJS / Cloudant / Docker / React.

Less than a year ago we both stopped consulting to study machine learning and build products full time.

Both of us have worked with startups and large data companies in the past and understand a lot of the challenges with getting data into the right place & format. Additionally, we've been working with machine learning for a year.

Okay, yeah, dctoedt points to the law[1] where this is described. I did not know about this law.

Interesting, though, that the courts' appraisals are trusted over the market in this case. It's sort of like an anti-crowd-dynamics protection, but only for people who vote no. Your decision over whether to vote no is influenced by your knowledge of likelihood for the total vote to succeed, as henrikschroder mentions[2].

A lot of antidepressants are nowhere near as abusable as amphetamine and its salts are. SSRIs, for example, take weeks to have an effect. I take Remeron (mirtazapine) and it was nearly a month before I started to feel better. Amphetamines work much faster.
Containerization in Linux is fugly. There is no core concept of containers in the kernel, you just have a set of loosely integrated namespaces abused by the likes of lx[cd] and docker.
Why are you calling it paternalistic, instead of anti-monopolist?

You're essentially excusing slave trade where people sell themselves to become slaves "because they could choose not to", when they actually in the real world couldn't see any other viable option for survival.

And while at it you're blatantly ignoring (or perhaps obscuring) the other option, of targeting the other side of the equation and banning such exploitative contracts, requiring that they offer reasonable terms instead. Are you claiming it is impossible for them, who keep making record profits, to afford to be fair?
Okay, I did not know about this law. Thank you.

Creditors get their power by virtue of the monopoly they have on the creation of money. This is a right restricted to an extremely small subset of people, which are basically the government and large banking institutions. This right is backed by violence. I think the comparison between Mafia and banking cartels has merit.

That's a big deal for single page apps (SPA) that get bigger than a couple pages and result in large initial downloads of the client side code.

Within the EU you only pay the sales tax on the total invoice (phone+shipping cost), here in Germany thats 19%. So if the phone invoice was 150€ + 10€ for shipping, you will be paying roughly ~30€ in taxes ("Einfuhrumsatzsteuer"). However... that is only IF your phone gets stuck in customs. If you get lucky you won't have to pay this*

* technically thats tax fraud - but even with the extra tax, it's still cheaper than buying from a EU-based reseller
