Yeah biased. The police on the other hand are clearly entirely even handed, righteous and fair.

There's always a defender for the indefensible in forums supporting authoritarianism. You carry 75k in cash because:

"That's none of your damn business."

Really that's the reason right up until you have a warrant. Even then it may still be the reason and unless proof is offered it's yours and you keep it. Because Freedom.

It's very common amongst migrant communities who raise funds for business amongst family and friends for one. So that's like 90% of the USA within the last few generations. There are many other reasons, many of which you have never considered. And it still isn't your business or anybody else's right up until probable cause and a warrant. People take it seriously when it happens to them, I believe there was a war fought over that once.

Would you rather the Post biased against you or the courts. 10 months to get your money back, no charges and it costs you your business. You get your money back but not the time you spent, the legal fees, no mention of interest, or compensation and to finally get it you have to promise you won't sue. Yeah you enforce that as police because you know you're in the right, sure. If that were me having my property stolen I'd be saying the post didn't go in nearly hard enough on this criminal behaviour and spent too much time not acknowledging police officers can tell lies and you can't take anything claimed by a police officer as a fact just because he or she said it. Would the word biased cover the racial profile of those stopped? Or do you think that white people aren't involved in drug crime at all?

But you see here's the thing about your rights. They exist or they don't. If someone who "might look like a drug dealer" has no rights to unwarranted search and seizure, neither do you.

HSBC do drug money laundering and the people involved aren't prosecuted because it might result in HSBC losing their banking license. Seriously, that's the reason given. Drug money laundering at the big end goes through banks, there are other banks than HSBC involved. If you want to get warrants to do proper searches to fight drug crime that would be the place to start and devote all spare resources.
De-criminalization is a much better bet to start solving these immense problems.
Judging from the 5 or 6 cops I know personally (neighbors and what not), there's basically nothing you can do if they want something from you.

They will lie or provoke you into doing something, even worse, one of the cops I know had a story about how someone said, "no, you cannot search my vehicle." The cop then asked if he wanted to be arrested for resisting arrest, and the guy gave in because he has no idea what his rights really are. The cop who was telling me seemed pretty smug about it, tricking someone into searching his car...

The point being, it's very hard not to get yourself into a pickle of the police officer really wants you. Most officers have somewhere between 2 - 4 years of formal education, most of which is about how to trick people, not about law. If the police officer suspects you're at fault for anything (or even is just having a bad day and doesn't like your look) he will arrest you.

That being said, always say, "I'm not refusing, but you may not search my car (or persons)" and don't go with them unless you are arrested. Both require them to get a warrant, something they wont do unless they need to. If your pulled over and asked why, always say "no." (fifth amendment right and all).

Finally, always, always, always be super nice and professional. Act innocent and you wont make the officer angry.
I don't know if this is common practice, but in Japan when I got an appartment for the first time, I was brought into a room where there was the real estate agent, the contract I was supposed to sign, and another person.

This last person went through the entire contract and explained in layman's terms what each section meant. Considering I'm close to illiterate in Japanese (though I could decipher enough to realise the part that says "you can leave so long as you give 1 month's notice"), I pretty much trusted the guy on what he was saying, but I imagine it's a nice service to have.

Considering that startups are often talked about like a sort of second family sense, the fact that some sort of deception happened on the employment contract is good cause to not want to ever associate with such a startup.

If the founders knowingly presented a contract that he couldn't possibly understand without an explanation, then this seems to be an abuse of trust, plain and simple.
More than half of all seizures are below $9000 - the amount of money you may use to buy a second-hand car. The amount of money that you may be using to pay for a group holiday. Hell, I brought a couple of thousand dollars in cash with me to the US on holiday a few years back.

You may be doing payroll for a small business that pays cash. You may have collected cash from a door-to-door sales job. Possibly you've withdrawn cash to put down as a deposit on an apartment or house. Maybe you're paying for a course for professional qualifications. Maybe you owe three month's back rent.

I'd reckon that all of these put together are more probable than funding a terrorist cell or setting up a drug deal. I'd certainly not give up my rights to do these things "just in case".
FWIW I took a recent look at porting the Apple Objective-C runtime to Linux (with the vague idea that if Apple open source Swift, it might be easier to get it working with their own runtime rather than the GNUstep one).

One nice thing about clang is that there's no problem outputting Objective-C code that uses the Apple runtime on other platforms: just use -fobjc-runtime=macosx. The catch is that because class, protocol, etc definitions are just data, you need a way to get notified by the runtime linker when an object is mapped into the process address space. (You could scan the current address space at startup, but that makes it difficult to support dynamic loading, although probably not impossible now that I think about it. I thought I was nearly there with ld.so audit interface, but audit modules are loaded into their own namespace, so you can't easily communicate with the global libobjc.)
You don't see a problem with those laws?
Thanks will look at your code!
Not all mobile platforms allow for dynamic linking of third party code.

Digia also recently changed the license to LGPL3, which has some implications in embedded platforms, like mobiles.

Personally, I am the opinion when one gets money from others work, it should pay back in some form.
That last paragraph is fascinating! How did you react to their request to pay cash? How did you count the money to ensure that it was all there - did you sit there and do it when they arrived, or employ someone or did you visit the bank together?

Some programming courses use Twitter clones as their 101 CRUD app lesson so the tech can't be too hard. I guess it's getting users that would be tricky?
You've been watching too many political thrillers. These guys are just sniffing around for low hanging fruit. If you want to get into a one hour bout of flexing nuts with a cop where he gets suspicious and orders a K9 unit and ends up thoroughly tearing apart your car and bags and potentially planting something, knock yourself out. Do the whole citizen lawyer thing. If you want to be on your way with minimal hassle, just disarm the cop and let him be his lazy self. Let him do his cursory thirty second look around and be on your way. This is the reality and many cops will tell you so.

As for having dangerous mystery items in your car, if you don't regularly hang out with low lifes that seems ridiculously improbable. Drugs and weapons are not going to sneak into your vehicle or luggage. To have "no idea" what's in your car it would have to be cluttered with junk and you'd have to parade people through it on a regular basis, so uh, don't do that.
Opposed-Piston Engine
I wanted to clarify that alcohol does hit many receptors, but not only one or two which would make studying it a lot easier.
IANAL, but if you didn't understand the contract, chances are its not valid.

If labor law is like in France, this could mean that your employment is assumed to be of the indefinite variety (since no valid contract dictates otherwise), and your firing could be illegal. In France this means they could owe you 6 months of wages.

This is Portugal, so some EU directives might cover a similar concept, and you could be entitled to a little settlement on the issue (granted French labor law is pretty intense, so your results may vary).

Anyways, a lawyer would be good. If you have any portuguese friends with good google-fu (or knowledge of employment law) they might be able to at least smell test this path.
>I frequently see remarks like 'Simon Peyton-Jones, great talk about Haskell but why did he use Comic Sans?' but nobody's ever been able to tell me what is wrong with it. It's a nice legible font, I like it. So until somebody explains to me ...

Of all the little things that annoy me about Comic Sans, this is by far the worst.

Suppose I showed some of my Haskell code to a group of people and they all told me that every Haskell expert says I should keep my IO functions as minimal and separate as I can. I ask them why, and they assure me again that Simon Peyton-Jones himself is adamant about this, but none of them seem to be able to put an explanation into words.

I wouldn't just dismiss them with "it works fine for me" and not even bother to Google something like "haskell separate impure code". So why do so many people do that when the advice is coming from designers instead of engineers?
Well technically it's not but I think the objective is quite the same. It lets me stream video from a torrent.
It is sad. Yet people like Gavin Seim and Adam Kokesh get a lot of shit for standing up.

"have you seen the video where the guy just keeps repeating, 'Am I being detained? Am I free to go?' what an asshole"

And anyone defending those people is instantly labelled a gun freak.
Are you asking for ONE specific legitimate reason? Say you don't trust banks, how do you purchase expensive items? Maybe you don't have a bank account for WHATEVER reason? Are you now a criminal because you don't have a bank account?

Or, are you really asking, what is the RATIO between what you'd deem "legitimate" reasons to carry money and what you'd deem "ill-legitimate"? What is the correct ratio? If we take 50% of the "bad guys" money, and 50% of innocent citizens is that too high? 60/40? 80/20? What is the correct ratio? How can you even know?

Well on top of the tone argument, it's just not a particularly good comic font. There are literally hundreds of similar, but better fonts out there. Check out http://blambot.com for some nice ones. There are plenty there that are more appropriate even for a cartoon dog.
Employee contracts in Portugal have one of two forms: "fixed term" and "long term". Long term is when there is no deadline for the contract to expire (also, it's the most common type) and it says you're entitled 1mo (perhaps now it's less) of compensation for each year working for the company.

Fixed term, however, has a different set of compensation rules, one of them being that if the employer breaks the contract 1 month into it, the employer still needs to pay for the extra 2 months. This appears to be your case/contract. However, from Vasco's previous comment, it does seem like that has been sorted, so your case does not appear to have grounds I'm afraid.

Personally, I'd recommend moving on, it may be the top thing on your mind right now, but in a year it won't matter one bit.
That's impossible, because what would you write in OOxx, given the different CS views and programming models on the subject?

Jump dump what is being worked on at any given point in time?

For me it is hard to grasp how youngsters see OO or FP, because I was part of the initial mainstream waves. So I got to see the things in a different perspective.

The world at companies was procedural, and lots of experimentation was going on.
In fact you know it's a home, but an advertiser has no way to tell. It could be a restaurant, an office, a flatshare, a gym or anything else. If they see two IPs on the same /64, all they can assume is some form of weak correlation.

Correlating "stable privacy addresses" (cf agwa comment) is trivial. How many network do we use in a day? Home, office, mobile provider, perhaps a couple more. Chances are that advertisers will see you using the same cookie across multiple networks and if your IPv6 address is persistent then you can bet that within a week all your stable IPv6 will be mapped to your profile. It only takes one observation to establish the link and then it is a static link.

Ideally you would like your /64 to be renewed regularly (it's not a bad idea to reboot the modem from time to time anyway) and to have randomized IPv6 addresses.
It's like someone showing up to give a talk with a Hitler hairstyle and toothbrush moustache. There's nothing wrong with the hair or the moustache per se, and perhaps they are your favourite for some reason, but the pre-associations will be distracting to people.

And now I'll Godwin myself out.
On the Concorde, the APU did not exist. On both contemporary and modern planes, the APU is the Auxiliary Power Unit, which is a fancy way of saying electric generator. Basically a moderate-size internal combustion engine (relative to the plane; big planes have big APUs) with the usual arrangement to generate electricity.

Why? Well, it's handy if a plane can start its own engines, and big engines can't usually be started by batteries, so batteries start the APU and the APU starts the turbines. The APU is also used to drive climate and entertainment systems when on the ground (and not connected to the Ground Power Unit, also mentioned early in the thread).

Finally, the APU can provide fault tolerance: if the turbines are disabled in flight, the APU can provide hydraulic pressure for the control surfaces, as well as electricity for safety systems and the potential to restart the turbines. There is some correlation in turbine failures (flying through something, fire, one turbine blade flies out and destroys a second engine), but the APU is inside and less likely to fail at the same time.

Related is the Ram Air Turbine, which is basically a small wind generator that can pop out of the fuselage if needed to provide some power to critical system when really nothing is working.

How to avoid exposing my MAC address when using IPv6?
To understand your argument, you're saying that people do not have "the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against searches and seizures" because you can't personally think of a reason to carry $75k in cash?
Agreed. There is a vocal minority of people (academics mostly) yelling at how subtype polymorphism is broken and unusable. It certainly has broken aspects (with respect to equality) but by and large, it's extremely usable, intuitive and it enables powerful abstractions. The corner cases where it falls apart seem to be irrelevant for most uses.
This is the point for me where Reddit jumped the shark. Not to mention the entire Zoe Quinn fiasco: http://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/2fpdax/time_t...

Meanwhile subreddits like pics of dead kids are allowed because of 'free speech' while some random breasts causes everybody to lose their minds.

I've been using Reddit since 2006 - time to switch over to a new website for sure.

Comment I saw:

>They decided to get their page hits, reddit gold, and publicity from the subreddit and then cash out just in time for the Sunday morning news to splash out the headline "REDDIT BANS NAKED CELEBRITY LEAKS". They're trying for the good press for Sunday and for the week. Well done, admins.

This was the standard argument in the USSR for everything. Who won cold war?

1) because I like cash, I like the feel of it, it's real money not bits.

2) Because I don't trust my banks.

3) because they charge fees to transfer the money same day I don't want to pay

4) because I don't like the government and I don't want them to have records of my business transactions if I can help it. I'm honest, I pay my tax but I don't want the IRS keeping records on where I buy my car and from who.

5) because I get a discount for paying in cash.

6) because I borrowed the money from family who do business in cash.

7) because I'm paying someone who prefers cash.

8) because I have to pay 30 different people and I don't have all their bank details.

9) because we've always done payroll in cash.

10) Because I'm taking the cash overseas to a country where US Dollars work and electronic bits don't.

There's 10. There are at least 100 more. And loads I haven't even thought of.

Using cash is a right, and you should feel bad.

Clearly you like breaking laws given your posts and should be arrested and have your property confiscated. What other reason could you have for your lack of respect for law? See how that goes? In soviet Russia, you're welcome.

Crappy article. Much better to link to the post by reddit sysadmin alienth.
And they do this while putting out a doublespeak public statement saying they don't do things like banning subreddits (but reserve the right to), and were not legally required to in this case.

Read it here: http://www.redditblog.com/2014/09/every-man-is-responsible-f...

Here's the comments from their blog post:
http://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/2foivo/every_man_is_re...

The admins are getting called out in nearly every top-level comment for folding to media attention and celebrity lawyers, when other objectively worse subreddits are actually granted the "hands-off" approach the site claims to use. Presumably because the victims can't afford legal teams or make headlines like celebrities can when their privacy is violated.

The leaks were despicable and I understand any business taking steps to avoid involvement in their distribution, but you can't expect a user-base like reddits to tolerate the administration saying one thing and doing the exact opposite in certain cases where there's bad press involved.

Edit: Here's a follow-up post from the sysadmin alienth in response to the backlash from their decision: http://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/2fpdax/time_t...
Reddit banned the subreddit because some of the nude images were images of underaged celebrities.

underage = banned, also on reddit
SPJ isn't a developer, or at least not mainly a developer. He's a computer science researcher, one of the top researchers of his generation in his field. Among his peers, what counts are the contributions you make, not what shoes you wear or what font you use. Some researchers will make their presentations look nice because they care about aesthetics, but as long as the meat is there and the slides are readable, nobody really minds odd-looking fonts.

In a way, this is a bit like the encounter of a Canadian and a Scottish officer on South Beveland (Netherlands) in October 1944.

> In the early hours of the 29th I was out with a unit of carriers, maintaining a standing patrol on the left flank of the battalion. In order to complete our patrol, we utilized some Dutch bicycles to patrol down a dyke to the bank of of the West Scheldt. All our men were desperately tired and in a filthy, wet, muddy condition. On our way we were terribly surprised to find a party of what were obviously Allied troops landing in a small boat. Then forth from one of the boat onto the shore stepped what seemed to me to be the finest soldier I had ever seen in my life, a fine figure of a Scottish gentleman, carrying the shepherd's crook affected by some senior Scottish officers in place of a cane or a swagger stick. He had a small pack neatly adjusted on his back. (I had absolutely no idea where mine was and couldn't care less.) His gas cape was neatly rolled. (I had last sen mine somewhere around Eterville.) He had his pistol in a neatly blancoed web holster. (I had mine in my hip pocket.) He had a neatly kept map case. (I had mine stuck in my breast pocket.) He was a Colonel and I was a Captain. His boots were neatly polished and I was wearing turned-down rubber boots. I did manage to salute, although I think it must have been haphazard. He politely enquired if we were Canadians. (Although who else could have looked as we did?) I assured his we were. He asked if I could direct him to battalion headquarters. I did better than that. I escorted him to battalion headquarters. I was taking no chances on losing such a beautiful specimen to the German Army. *

>Tell me a legitimate reason to carry thousands of dollars of cash around.

A legitimate reason would be whatever reason I happen to choose, no different than if I choose to use a credit card, Bitcoin, or write a cheque. No one should have to defend their legal transactions to you or anyone.

That said, some governments are moving down the path of outlawing large cash transactions. Here is one example: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2012/10/17/large-cash...
As I mentioned above, this misses the point. All you are getting is that instead of having a unique identifier (your MAC) you have 4 or 5 (the number of networks you roam between within a day). This will be trivial to defeat with a browser cookie. The identifier are still static which means that it only takes one observation to establish a permanent link between these IPs.
Indeed. While I despise the original leaker, and support law-enforcement efforts to catch him/her, and think pretty poorly about the people who made this subreddit, it's not reddit's place to police the issue.
