Oh, I'm sorry I thought we were talking about the USA here. Just because, YOU, in the 5minutes it took you to post a knee-jerk reaction can't think of ANY reason to carry large sums of money doesn't mean it should be or IS illegal. It's not. This is a free country and there are many reasons one might want or need to carry cash.

This whole preposterous idea that, "Oh, you have lots of money on you MUST BE DRUG MONEY. Let's use draconian laws, and bring in the DEA so we can confiscate it all", is insane. And super prevalent in the south, where people getting stopped on the highway for speeding (or "durr durr you were swerving?") and getting their car illegally searched is all too common. Good luck getting that money back once it's inside the beast. It's a longggg road.

I'm playing with it for a personal project, and as long as you're not too adventurous with your use of the JRE, it produces pretty usable Objective-C code.

The README.md file and linked blog posts have more info on the topic (e.g., goals and roadmap of the project). Sensei Grid will always be simple and there won't any fancy or extra features than the bare essentials for a data grid. Additional functionality will be provided through plugins or implemented by users.

After first glance it seems that Dgrid requires dojo framework which I have no interest to depend on and also provides too much functionality for us. Datazenit needs something simple, stable and extensible. Sensei Grid will definitely have just a tiny fraction of Dgrid features. If you need something fully featured and complex, then Sensei Grid is not for you and you should stick with Dgrid or any other alternative.
I think in practice the "fuck you, I know my rights" approach is the worst one. Just take 20 minutes to hide your cash properly and in a friendly voice say "sure officer, go ahead and search." He's not going to find it.

This story is so unbelievably biased and one-sided, it confirms my suspicions of the value of the Washington Post anymore.

Carrying $75K in cash around should raise anyone's suspicions as to the purpose, no matter what the carrier claims. Think about it. Why would YOU carry $75K in cash?

The obvious and well known reasons are, it's the most secure way to fund drug and terrorist cells without leaving a trail. The Post even acknowledges that!

"There is no question that state and federal forfeiture programs have crippled powerful drug-trafficking organizations, thwarted an assortment of criminals ... "

But not until they make their accusations and end the above sentence with:

"... and brought millions of dollars to financially stressed police departments."

Note that only a sixth of those seizures were ever challenged but the Post claims it's only because it's too expensive to do so. They do NOT question whether it's because it's drug or terrorist funding (and I will state that it is).

Just unbelievable what these formerly trustworthy newspapers are churning out nowadays.

>I don't believe that's the main problem at all. The problem is aesthetic[1]. Some letterforms are inherently unbalanced and create tension, notably the wild angles in the m, the serif in the s, and the tipping-over T. The wobbles in the I, n, and h distract as well. Beyond that, there are the subtler issues of different inclination on the verticals (j, t, l, h) and bad kerning for various character pairs.

So what if we don't care about those issues and we don't feel the tension?
This to me feels a lot like GWT: making it easier for Java developers to write client side code.

It was marketed as faster, however in reality it's slower on everything except a special build of Chrome.

It supposed to make us more productive, however all it does is that it makes churning out code easier at the expense of debugging. Sourcemaps are here to solve these issues, however since Dart is not a purely transpiled language, I don't really see that working out.

In my opinion Dart is an excellent research project, but it ultimately fails at fixing anything that makes client side web development hard.

I don't think this is true. I think Haskell's notation is the way it is because it emphasizes the "look" of certain abstract patterns that would be obscured by the notation used in other languages (I believe this is the case for math as well... I doubt it's that way for hand writing speed, since I doubt that's the bottleneck in maths). This is not what many of us who come from other programming languages are used to, and therefore we identify it as "more difficult", but it actually is lack of familiarity. Not only with Haskell itself, but with the abstractions and the way of looking at programs.

I doubt the majority of Haskell programmers would prefer a more verbose notation. I think that, like the parent post, they consider Haskell very clean and readable.

A friend of mine who is a proficient Haskeller told me he often struggles to understand new Haskell libraries. Then the library "clicks" for him and he can begin to use it. I -- who program in Java for my day job -- have trouble understanding this, because this is seldom the case for Java: you may not understand what problem a Java library is intended to solve, but using it is usually trivial (and mis-using it is trivial as well, of course!). I think it's unfair to compare both languages this way, because in Java there is a fairly low use of general abstractions, and Java's syntax (and coding practices) have evolved to reflect this. The verbose syntax that works (1) for Java is not suitable for other kinds of programming.

(1) for some values of "works".

Wait, wait - SEIZED WITHOUT A WARRANT.

If it is so obviously a crime in progress, get a freaking warrant.

This is how everything erodes.

One day you will have $2000 on you in cash to buy a used car and they will seize that too.

Also note the part where they found nothing after a warrantless search so they just posted it for other police to harass them later.
Just like languages have versions/revisions, e.g: C++11,C++14, Java8 ...etc, having versions at major changes during evolution of OO might have helped in creating reference points which can facillitate discussions and enhance understanding i.e. like OO98, 0099, OO2005 ...etc.
That's really just two things. I apologize if you had trouble discerning that, but I'm not inclined to try again. But thanks for asking and making it clear my opinion doesn't matter ;)

All that will happen from this is that criminals will find ways to move money without cash (like bitcoins, etc) and the only people caught will be non-criminals or really stupid criminals. Everything evolves in reaction to pressures.

Look, I think most reasonable people would agree the Washington Post is pretty much a joke at this point.

However, I have toe vehemently disagree with your rationale. This line of thinking has to stop. Just because YOU can't think of any reason to carry "large" sums of money doesn't mean there IS no legitimate reason. Innocent until proven guilty, all that jazz.

"Think about it. Why would YOU, wear sagging jeans?"

Also, yes, it IS ridiculously expensive to challenge a seizure of money. This happens ALL OF THE TIME in the south, where cops do illegal searches, find money and say DRUG MONEY DRUG MONEY, and 99% of people are SCREWED because the system is stacked against them.

Not everyone has a bank account. Maybe they should but not everyone does. Just because some people carry cash due to illicit purposes does not mean _everyone_ carries large amounts of cash for that reason. Maybe they do not trust banks? Who cares? The point is, people are essentially being punished without a trial and without being proven guilty of a crime. The presumption of innocence seems very important to a lawful society – why should that presumption be forefitted simply because one chooses to carry large amounts of cash?
>All so what, you can go from one multinational (Oracle) to another (Google).

Or from one Larry to another.
My boss carried £40k in cash around once a month for a number of years. It was people's pay on the way from the bank to the company. Imagine the consequences of siezing that.

In no way should anyone assume anything. That's a bad precedence to set.

And as for me, when I sold my house a few years ago, the buyer paid cash (a suitcase of 15,300 £20 notes). I had to take that to the bank and pay it in, which was suprisingly trouble-free. They just counted it and credited me right away.
We took a strategic decision to go strictly ExtJS, but so far I can only say we use mostly ExtJS. I really like it. Most of our clients are big enterprise and all the stuff we do is very data heavy (analytics etc.), so we're happy to pay the licence fees just to see them stick around and support it for a few more years.
We are trying this for our prototyping tool in the most straightforward way:

Excellent. Good luck - I'll be keeping an eye on it.
Carrying $75K in cash around is not illegal, but it soon will be if the powers to be have their way. What the anti-cash movement really wants is digital totalitarianism, that's the bigger picture in all this.
This is terrible advice on multiple levels.

Absolutely you shouldn't be leaving the money out in the open, and should probably hide it. You should absolutely NEVER give consent to search your car. You have no idea what a person is capable of until it's too late. I'm not saying the cop will plant something, though it wouldn't be the first time, but you also have NO IDEA what might be in your car accidentally.

There are two important points that your critique ignores

> Half of the seizures were below $8,800.

> Asset forfeiture is an extraordinarily powerful law enforcement tool that allows the government to take cash and property without pressing criminal charges and then requires the owners to prove their possessions were legally acquired.

The majority of seizures are nowhere near the $75K figure you're concerned about. I agree that large amounts of cash are suspicious, but these seizures seem to draw the line somewhere well below your hyperbolic example. Suspicious activity is not a priori illegal.

Second, when NO criminal charges are made, the seizures are no different than government thuggery. Carrying large amounts of cash is suspicious, and should therefore influence the question of probable cause, which could then be used to gather evidence for criminal charges, but that is not happening in many of these cases. That's a fundamental problem that needs to be reported more widely.
I don't see what the problem is.

In France if you carry more than 10,000 € in cash, you need to make a custom declaration.

It's also illegal to buy something for more than 3,000 € in cash.
This probably depends on where you work, though. I work in the industry, and in my experience people using Scala (1) are simply looking for a better Java, and have no prior knowledge of FP or other languages which are not C-like OO. They would probably freak out if they saw a language similar to ML. On the other hand, the few people I know working in academia have very little interest in Scala.

Well written - for some particular definition of "good" - Haskell is quite pleasant to read and work with. But, frequently, the code I see looks like mix of bash and PERL, only with a bit more consistent indentation.

OCaml code, on average, has less symbol-based infix functions and tends to be more readable (for me). But I'm not a Haskell programmer, so maybe that's a matter of getting used to, like parens in Lisps...

I don't think that quote is about syntax. In programming languages there are other, way more important sources of complexity besides syntax.
The fourth amendment, protection against unlawful search and seizure, was put into the constitution as a direct consequence of the very laws that civil forfeiture was based upon. That makes me sad. How can we, as a society, function in which we've incentivized our own police force to take property from our citizens without proof of a crime? It just doesn't make sense.

Tell me a legitimate reason to carry thousands of dollars of cash around. While some, here, will think of outlier reasons and point to a few "two thousand dollar" situations, the point of the whole thing is that there are a multitude of tens and hundreds of thousands and millions in cash that ARE stopped and picked up all the time for illegal reasons and the POST (and posters here) are ignoring that fact. (Except for the one line I show in my other post.)

Ignoring the other side of the story is what's going on here.
We don't, generally, forbid things that are merely suspicious. You should be considered innocent unless proven guilty. This is a basic pre-requisite for a fair and open justice system.

What the Washington Post is talking about here is money taken from people who have not been convicted of anything. Money taken, in the first instance, without recourse to a court of law. Money taken, often, from people without the will or resources to have it overturned. Do not underestimate how powerless people feel in the face of overwhelming authority and how that powerlessness means that they fail to assert their rights. Even those that have the money returned are subject to interest and opportunity costs with returns often taking months.

Only one-sixth of seizures are challenged. This means that approximately $450m every year are taken from people who do have the means to appeal and fight back. Assuming that unreasonable (not the same thing as unsuccessful) appeals are balanced by those without the means to appeal, you are punishing innocent people by half a billion dollars in fines every year. That they may have used the money to buy drugs is not an excuse.

If a society is to have a fair and reasonable justice system, that system must err on the side of the innocent and not on the side of its enforcers. Otherwise it creates perverse incentives and encourages subjugation of the populace, fermenting resentment and a system that is not of the populace, but separate to it. That system is not stable and it is not a system that can act as a basis for progression. It is a cauldron for resentment, enmity and eventually revolution. It is not a good way to live.

I completely agree. I've also found that the relatively few users of windows phone tend to be more passionate about supporting developers on their platform, so it's much easier to get attention for good applications from the windows phone subreddit and windows phone dedicated new sites. Obviously this is due to there being fewer WP developers in the first place, but it's easy enough to take advantage of nowadays.

Ebola: We Could Have Stopped This
> since I doubt that's the bottleneck in maths

I'm not a mathematician, but I heard that math is most frequently written on a whiteboard. If that's true, then optimizing for speed and space efficiency of hand-writing suddenly makes sense.

> I doubt the majority of Haskell programmers would prefer a more verbose notation

The exact same thing can be said about PERL programmers. But why stop there, take a look at APL, J, K languages. J, for example, ships with all standard verbs aliased to words, like "under", "behead", "curtail" etc. Of course, nobody uses those, they write "&.", "}.", "{." instead.

The difference is that in J you have small, consistent core vocabulary (http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/vocabul.htm), and once you learn it and it "clicks", you very much are ready to do anything with the language. Haskell way makes you go through the same process again and again with almost every library. The sad thing is that you could write Haskell in a way which wouldn't require you to internalize large numbers of new symbols, but you generally don't. Is it really because of how much better the abbreviated, symbol-based notation is so much better, I have to wonder.
Providing an unreadable (to the person signing) contract violates the principals of natural justice for one.
Jaberer, I wouldn't worry so much about the platform either. If there comes a time where you want to make an iOS/Android version, you can always try out Xamarin, which lets you use Visual Studio and C# to generate Android and iOS apps with relatively little extra effort.

I'm not related to Xamarin in any way, I'm just a fan of their cross platform mobile development solution. I'm also a student, and their academic license is only $99/year (though it will get expensive when we graduate).
