Given that money laundering is a significant use of Bitcoin, and given China's extensive history with capital controls [1] and their willingness to execute people for corruption [2], it would not shock me much to see them do this for purely internal reasons. Chinese leaders are historically not big fans of things they can't control.

I think the climate has a big role in this. In NYC you see the same homeless ppl for about a year, then the hard winter weather hits and they (hopefully) head somewhere warmer. NYC citizens don't have these difficult conversations that SF citizens have looming over them, because the climate conveniently and quietly wipes the slate every year. SF on the other hand can be a forever destination with outdoor livable weather year round.
The core premise for CSS in JS is solved by backticked strings in style tags as shown above.

The backticked string style tag shown above already solves all the issues with CSS limitations in reactjs.

Here’s what the article you linked to says:

“Why does this matter?
Not all CSS features can be aliased with JavaScript event handlers , many pseudo selectors (like :disabled, :before, :nth-child) aren’t possible, styling the html and body tags isn’t supported etc.
With CSS-in-JS, you have all the power of CSS at your fingertips. Since actual CSS is generated, you can use every media query and pseudo selector you can think of. Some libraries (like jss, styled-components) even add support for neat, non-CSS-native features like nesting!”

All addressed by backticked strings in style tags.
Wealth does not come from work alone. It's possible to work very hard in ways that create no wealth or vice versa. It's just one component in addition to multipliers like knowledge, tools and capital.
Spinnaker: open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform
I've come to similar ideas from the opposite side (being a crazy sports enthusiast my body needs rest more often than not during office hours, so physical activity would be more a side effect than the goal):

When waiting for the computer forces us to idle, most of us try to fill the void with attempted multitasking. Be it half-assing something productive or trying to grab some instant gratification from our favorite distractions, it doesn't matter, it throws us or our the flow. This is why faster compilers raise productivity by much more than the directly saved man-minutes.

Now what if we could actively speed up the build? (or whatever else we are waiting for?)

Imagine a system that throttled down a bit during "unattended" builds (developer staring at hacker news would count as "unattended"), and only opened up fully when the user does "the compile thing", similar to your idea of carrying a medicine ball for deployments. It could be something hardly physical as repeatedly (impatiently!) tapping a button, but it would feel much better with a more physical activity.

What I envision is a big, satisfying crank. The Compiler Crank. With a subtle sound (or haptic) effect that stops when the build is done, bonus points for force feedback via modulating the resistance according to occupied cores.

It's not intended as a fitness device, just something to keep you occupied with something that does not cause the dreaded context switch, and does not promise occasional gratification (never ever try filling those gaps with Solitaire!).

Whatever productivity it would waste during hn-induced "unattended" builds, I think it could make up tenfold by maintaining high engagement whenever engagement is sufficiently high to actually use the device.
It's the nature of those companies, but there's nothing that says capitalism requires that.
>That's actually my most common use. [...], I just open a new sheet

I think this answer explaining your most common usage actually explains better what you've built and its (unstated) philosophy. What you've created is a "scratchpad for arithmetic" that parses the numbers in plain text.[1] (Or stated another way, a "freeform spreadsheet" without the row col gridlines.) You then choose to call that functionality "budgeting".

My lightbulb moment: This is why non-existent datetime data isn't "missing" in your tool because "math scratchpads" don't need dates. I also see why you see your tool as "simpler" than the other text-based accounting tool "ledger-cli". ledger-cli is definitely not a math scratchpad; it's based on transactions of debits/credits which is overkill for a scratchpad.

I understand it better now. If you want to call your text parser math scratchpad -- a "budgeting" tool, I won't quibble with that. However, a lot of other people think of "budgeting" as money planning with a time horizon beyond the boundaries of a scratchpad. My earlier comments were based on that wider expectation of "budgeting". I'm not saying a budget tool has to be as feature-heavy as Quicken or Mint but many people would need something with slightly more functionality than a math scratchpad.

[1] Your parsexxx() functions are not specific to the domain of money budgeting but for any numbers with text labels to be added/subtracted/multiplied:

It's bizarre to me that rent-a-miner is a viable business at all. Why don't the owners just set the miners to mine whatever the most profitable coin is at the moment?
> I just only want it to tell me, and let me choose to inform my doctor.

I totally agree. It would be wonderful if there was an inexpensive device (it doesn't need to be a toilet) that could perform thorough health analysis, but inform only the user and not any third party. i.e. no Dr or pharmaceutical companies, the producer or manufacturer, the user's insurance broker, ad / marketing companies etc. Absolutely nobody but the user.

I want to trust technology like this because it could perform a profound public good, but untrustworthy companies keep being identified that have ulterior motives (for all sorts of technology, not this specifically).
I am so sick of this perpetual fallacy about labor shortages. If you can't find enough workers it means you need to raise the price you're offering. (But yasp the article cited one particular firm has already increased prices 15% this year.) Doesn't matter. There is a certain price at which the market will clear. If the market isn't clearing it's because the price being offered is too low. Keep trying.
Yep. Anyone who's ever travelled to Japan can attest to the professionalism that people at all levels perform at. From the high-schooler at Lawson's to the octogenarian at the car-park. While "pride" might be too string a word, people were mindful of their job and its inherent obligations.
Funny that the manager's pay is the only one that's not listed.

It seems to me that truck driving is at the same boring, unhealthy and dangerous. I can't imagine not making serious mistakes if I had to drive on a freeway for 8 hours a day or more.
I want to draw APL. Like with a stylus.

That's pretty much how I'd want to use it, and the only way I'd bother. It's cool tech but it's general purpose appeal is nonexistent and there is already Julia and Matlab in technical computing space.

If I could draw APL symbols and have some common libraries for JSON and Http and stuff like that, I could see a renaissance having enough steam to do something.

Otherwise, it's only the top gun high level nerds that already use it anyways, that would want to work in non-ascii. Modern developers seem to have an ever decreasing attention span these days.

How many developers under 25 use vim? It's always less than it was last year.

They're mostly old. So I guess they might be hostile to the young. I actually dislike some of the newer things like transient-mark-mode. I don't want all of that highlighting just because I have a selection region, and was quick to disable it when they enabled it to make it more "modern":

Clearly it was a poor example, I wouldn't structure simple code this way either but in more complex situations it can be the simplest solution.
If you're an employer and you cant find employees, the answer is virtually always to increase total compensation. Theres no reason $80k is the top end of the pay range for any job.

The economy does not price jobs based on prestige, education level, or some other signal... that's a judgement made by certain people about what they think a job is worth.. not the market. The opinions of people about the worth of a job are irrelevant.

Reminders that the Emperor has no clothes are an exonerating justification regularly accepted in courtrooms for summary executions conducted by police officers in the United States.
From the article: A few drivers told The Washington Post that they earn $100,000, but many said their annual pay is less than $50,000 (government statistics say median pay for the industry is $42,000). As for the bonuses, driver Daniel Gollnick said they are a “complete joke” because of all the strings attached.

Yet the headline talks about 80 kUSD/year.

One still has a generation who were educated on subsidised education now reducing those subsidies, per capita, to the next. The former then expects the latter to work to fund their Social Security, Medicare and pensions as opposed to working to redistribute those hand-outs over the broader population. (Not taking a stance. Simply eliding a policy theme. My bet is SS, Medicare and pensions will be dismantled within a few cycles to fund a UBI and universal healthcare, with total pay-outs to seniors going down to pay for broader pay-outs across the population.)
what's so key about that? I and many others know that the Baby Boomers hoarded wealth to create their own class that is very hard to enter into. You can certainly 'blame' them when it comes to things like Prop 13 and their inability to protect social security for future generations.

Our economy has split into areas where in some areas "talent" can get almost infinite amounts of money and in other areas it's simply not conceivable to pay people more. I wonder how free market people explain this. Based on the market theories I have heard it doesn't make sense.
So eloquently described my own feelings! The professional smile is vastly more common in the San Francisco than Sydney. Often I’ve felt like telling waiters in Sydney: “You know I’m paying right? You’re not doing me a favour!” However at the same time I’ve felt myself in SF thinking: “I’m not your friend, I don’t want to tell you how my day was.”

"In December 2009, Watts was detained at the US/Canada border by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) performing a reportedly random search of the rental vehicle he was driving."

Note BTW that he was at the time leaving USA after having crossed over from Canada with no incident.

"...According to Watts, he was assaulted, punched in the face, pepper-sprayed and thrown in jail for the night."

"...Watts blogged about his sentence saying that because of how the law was written, his asking: "What is the problem?" was enough to convict him of non-compliance."
I don't know much about the trucking industry but I imagine that it is competitive enough where employers don't feel like they have much latitude to pass higher wages along to their customers.
And to think - if you didn’t have such a good memory, metaphors like this would be lost on you!
It's like poor, middle class Americans have been slow-played against their our self-interests?

Make the system so regulated, with so many laws; the only ones truly living a relatively free life are the wealthy.

I've seen it get worse with the internet, and the cheap cameras everywhere.

The average American still thinks they are in the best system, but they are a paycheck, or minor life emergency of being told can't use the bathrooms.

If I had a do over, I would have gone to France in my twenties.

I do find most wealthy people ablosute hypocritical, parasites. Yea--we're not suspose to judge, but that's all the power we have left?

In a weird way, it's a beautiful con job we have been ensnared in?

(And yes Trump relaxed a few regulations. Regulations that affect the wealthy.)

Becoming a truck driver currently doesn't seem a wise choice when self-driving trucks are on the horizon.
It does make sense, you don’t need “infinite” amount of money. Pay a driver $200k a year. Or give them an 8 hour workday, and week off week on schedules so they can see their family.

There’s many solutions, all of them involve incentivizing people to become drivers. If people want their Amazon orders so bad, they’ll end up paying. And if they don’t, then they have to re-prioritize what they want.
...which kills the whole point of the attack. you already poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into fabbing those ASICs, which only work for that specific cryptocurrency. why would you do a 50% attack and tank its price? the only reason 50% attacks like on BTG is viable is that you can rent hashpower (no investment!).
I'm not sure if that says something about the viability of renting mining capacity or the viability of mining coins for money.
As you pay truckers more at some point it doesn’t make economic sense to hire them. Some jobs are cost centers others are profit centers is one way of looking at it. Another factor is industries like trucking have very little differentiation so it’s a race to the bottom.
The cameras used are absolutely insane...
If you want APL to be reborn make a version that supports GPU acceleration. That just might give it momentum enough to be used, a language that runs with the native speed of the GPU and that is easy to compose without having to fiddle with the details could be a winner.

There is this:

https://github.com/Co-dfns/Co-dfns

But it's not quite it.

As for the word 'deserve': computer languages don't really deserve anything, they get adopted, or not. APL is a beautiful language and it gives me immense pleasure when I 'get' a program but the barrier between 'the problem' and 'the solution' hinges on libraries, eco systems and communities. I suspect that APL's window of opportunity has passed and even if Clojure became 'a modern lisp' and Elixir became 'a modern Erlang' I don't really see a big driver behind 'A modern APL'. What would it do that can't be done in other ways?
Hey @olifrost, presumably this contains personally identifiable information of several individuals connected to you - are you seeking their individual consent too?
That would be great! I'm building a cryptocurrency app and this data would be really useful.
I'd like to think that "the better angels of our nature" would prevail, but history has shown the slippery slope is on occasion, slippery -specially when incentivized with local revenue generation.

I would not be surprised at some point someone somewhere comes up with a version where given a "driving score" you may or may not be allowed to get on a given roadway.
This is the nature of truck driving, the headline has been $100k/yr job without the need of a degree for years, but in actuality, only those who work very hard & cheat the books get close to that.

Are you willing to drive while sleepy, break regs when the customer is demanding you drive longer to deliver their products (due to traffic delaying you or similar)? Its a really screwed up industry.
desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want.
The Logic of Modesty: Why It Pays to Be Humble

Just tanking the price is enough, if you've sold enough bitcoin futures beforehand. I suppose that would put you on the CFTC's radar, though.
The only reasons that would be is if other trucking companies are not having driver shortages and can continue to deliver without raising prices, or the the end users of the items they are delivering are not willing to pay for the increase in cost. I doubt both are true.
The opinions of people about the worth of a job are irrelevant

On the other hand, the reputation of an employer or of an industry plays into the market price. You'd think that post-2015 most life scientists would not have worked for Theranos for any salary at all, and if truckers tell you that bonuses are worthless, that means you have to raise the base salary to find any takers.
No, not for terseness. Numpy is nice because it extends Python in a reasonably good and efficient way but standalone it doesn't do much of anything and Python is so much more verbose than APL. That's the beauty of APL in a way: there really is nothing left to remove.
Why we haven't gotten a feasible working heavy weight capatul that would slingshot heavy cargo from spot to spot across states like jumping frog, I don't get where the problem is.

I'm not saying catapult eggs, but majority of goods could withstand 1000Gs.

We need Trevor Milton to stop working on electric truck and get into electric catapults.
Prices are sticky. Prices at the store, prices for shipping, prices for labor, etc.

So where people don't have much leverage (or are perceived to not have much leverage), they move slowly. Trucking is low leverage (the training is a couple months and a large proportion of people will be able to obtain a CDL). Around here they've moved to offer paid training, which wasn't the case a year or two ago.
When I'm on the receiving end of scripted checkout conversations or "American style" extreme joy at my purchase of a £2 coffee I hate it. The restaurant that too brightly upsells us is the restaurant we never revisit.

I'd like just normal interactions with a range of people and to be able to leave thinking any conversation was real rather than an essential term of their contract of employment. No surprise that the best conversations and experiences are in small shops not chains with mandated policies.

When I first visited the US in the 90s the difference was quite marked, and it was quite a relief to get home. Now we've imported the approach wholesale. Course it's still perfectly possible for staff to smile, greet you in the corporate mandated manner whilst keeping 99% of their attention elsewhere and being diligently inefficient.
Although I dislike this solution for 99% of websites out there, there are valid short term reasons to use this solution.

Imagine e.g. a user survey on a US University which saves data not in a GDPR compliant format. Why should this very local small group website be GDPR compliant when it's almost 100% sure it's only used from the US?

OK, but now I ask myself what happens if a Europe exchange student also participates...
Either...

1. Be upfront about what user-data you collect and how you use it.

2. Or try to find ways to not seem like a scummy, unprofessional or unreliable business partner while randomly blocking customers from your site, because you cant account for their data.

You’d think the choice be pretty fucking obvious, no?
I disagree. A keyword is not a null. And nil is a different “type” than something not nil anyway.
This, not a single word about automation and self-driving trucks in the article but every person I talked to that considered this career path* has mentioned automation as a reason staying out of a field. A lot of people value job security really high.

I agree with the comments saying that if the pay was higher then there wouldn't be such a shortage and the fact that is generally true. That doesn't mean the market always adapts fast enough and balances itself though.

* only 3 people, so purely anecdotal.
They are increasing compensation, but the job is so shit, and so demanding on time, that it's still not worth it. I'd want to see $500,000 a year before I put long-haul trucking demands on my body.

The industry has labour problems that aren't related to pay. Nobody wants to sit outside a business for 6-8 hours, earning 0 dollars. Solution: Fine deliverees by the minute. Over-policing of truckers. Solution: Lower fines for commercial truckers, thus removing the incentive for police interaction. Long time away from family. Solution: Truckers have a maximum distance they may travel in a day, which includes the return trip.
By your logic entire concept of labour shortage is outrageous because any shortage will clear with high enough price. But for any job such as that of Truck drive the market value of that job is only X. Paying more than X would mean you should look for alternatives and get out of that business.

As the truck diver salaries go up cost of everything that relies on transportation also goes up marginally. Suddenly the struggling pistachio farmer will now find it even less economical to continue, Wallmart will have to raise prices of their goods and so on. All eventually leading up to poor people paying even more for their daily consumption items such as diapers and baby food.

The brighter side of this is that the Truck driving as an occupation would be pretty much extinct in next 20 years as self driving trucks, hyperloops, cargo drones etc. will replace them or make them really low skill jobs.
I imagine his online manager is not very good considering the lack of response to accusations of him being Ted Cruz.
The US and most of the world's free market countries are actually highly regulated markets where supply and demand are strongly influenced by government influence.

As for this particular case, truck driving is a crappy job, with its long term prospects darkened by self driving technology, and equal paying professional jobs in decent supply. If you're motivated enough to be a professional, you can usually find a better career. And there's a fairly hard cap on how much long haul trucker drivers can be paid before rail becomes more economic.
Plaid[1] is only company I know of offering this sort of API. Maybe there are others, I wasn't able to find any from a quick google search.
