Even after a year, calling whether it worked as unclear is being naive or ignorant. Would you say ripping off 80% of your code base and rewriting it was a good idea if you are still unclear about the benefits ? To wit, you can't go back to the old code base also.

I so wish GRR Martin had put this in GoT. Then most Indians would have been aware of it. I'll repeat it here once again.

Not all black money is in cash. Not all cash is black money.

A major portion is in real estate, gold, businesses and other financial assets. Cash is just ~8-10% of the economy.

Most people with unaccounted cash had access to networks which would launder it for them. Even if you have a digital trail, the justice system is not digital. Sure some would have to pay up, but a majority would have enough accountants/lawyers to avoid the taxes.

People complaining about black money in India, forget that the relatively low consumer prices that they enjoy is partly due to black money. If one wants the SMEs to pay their taxes, the consumer should be ready to pay more in price. People want low prices, low taxes and no black money/corruption. Well, pick any two.

>> 1) people would think twice before hoarding onto cash and keep it hidden from the govt

Or they could change the govt :).

Wouldn't the equivalent of ACH transfer be SEPA Credit Transfer (SCT)?

I'd add that SEPA being mandatory for all participating countries has simplified transfers a great deal. Now most banks remember creditors, just like a phone book but for money, so sending money from your phone is pretty neat.

Additionally, the SEPA effort created ISO 20022, which is gaining ground worldwide as a one-stop-shop format for financial transfers. See this article from the US Federal Reserve a couple of weeks ago: https://fedpaymentsimprovement.org/news/press-releases/feder...
BBC nails it better.

Invalidating 90% of the stock of currency notes to catch 6% of illegal wealth was a clear case of using a hammer to kill a fly.

The rationale of a crackdown on counterfeit notes was also misleading since India's central bank's own estimate was that fewer than 0.02%

India's stock of high-value currency was growing in line with GDP and the share of such currency in India's GDP remained constant at around 9% for half a decade

It's cool.

I would further dig into the intentionality of who's creating what. Facebook creates a platform where people can be surrounded by very selective & similar feeds, fed by producers of content seeking to gain traction of their ideas as described in the article (ie seeking sales or political power). To say that Facebook creates these narratives can sound like people at the company are intentionally crafting these narratives, instead of it being a substrate where 3rd parties craft them.

However, let's contrast this with TV, since it also has the creation of narratives and the problem of getting too sucked into it. Different networks have their different slants, people pick their favorites and get wrapped up in the narratives presented there, be they from news or from consistent themes permeating entertainment programming.

But for some reason the response to getting too wrapped up in TV (your fault, watch less or get off it completely) is quite different than the responses to getting too wrapped up in Facebook (regulate Facebook and don't change our habits!). I think the responsibility of the info consumer is the same in either case, and a lot of that is related to how you handle trust vs skepticism regarding these commercial outlets.
Maybe someone with more experience in the platform can confirm or deny this. There are a bunch of things that have been standard issue in certain frameworks for decades. Then Apple "invents" the same topic and the Apple-focused people who have not looked elsewhere start to drool over it and call it very innovative and new.

I think Auto Layout smells like one of these. UI toolkits in other niches have had dynamically sized layout engines for a long time. But some platforms, like Win32, or Mac, or NeXT, were more into absolute positioning for longer. Now Apple is picking up other ideas, and it's oh my god so amazing (assuming you've been in the Apple world the whole time).
A truck ran into the shuttle.

“The shuttle did what it was supposed to do, in that it’s sensors registered the truck and the shuttle stopped to avoid the accident,” the city said in a statement. “Unfortunately the delivery truck did not stop and grazed the front fender of the shuttle. Had the truck had the same sensing equipment that the shuttle has the accident would have been avoided.”
If you solve the monetary issues then those things are within an individuals control to a certain extent and at worse can be mitigated. Ugly people can have plastic surgery or tooth realignment if they can afford it, or the can work out enough to either become good looking or compensate. The socially inept can learn to be more social.

Those are choices for individuals though, not society as a whole. Society doesn't decide the attributes you were born with, but they do decide if your money has any real value.

Try responding to the most charitable interpretation of others' comments. It's clear that nerdponx is referring to the same thing that jsmthrowaway went into greater detail about.

Try this as a habit: If in response to something someone else has said, you find yourself thinking, "That would be ridiculous! Who would think that?", then follow up by answering your own question: "That would be ridiculous, so the person I'm responding to probably doesn't think that."

Pondering how ridiculous it would be for you to choose to believe that someone else actually believed the first ridiculous thing is an exercise you can pursue at your own option.
Yes in the UK Tesco suffers from this (not as badly as a 3rd of items), because they pick out of their local supermarkets for the most part.

Ocado on the other hand uses huge centralised warehouses which have much more stock. They can also estimate substitutions ahead of time (much better stock management) based on delivery time and inform you to pick something else rather than some random choice when it's too late.

The difference in substitution levels is night and day. I feel instacarts model is really wrong on the logistics side.

It's "who." You got it.
You can see from basic math that people living paycheck to paycheck, who aren't "poor" are spending a lot more money than they could. Half the population is doing it, and looking the income distribution it is clear that most of those people don't have to.

Edit:
You're applying an argument about the poor to people making middle quartile income, which doesn't make any sense at all.

>What are our local, state, and federal governments made up of, then - the same organizations that don't close loopholes and set tax code properly to serve the greater interest? Are these organizations not made of people?

Yes, they are. But going out of your way to hire thousands of attorneys to find loopholes is obvious explicit fraud. Writing a tax code and possibly missing something is a natural human error. "Corporate persons" do not exist -- they are a legal fiction invented to shield corporate criminals from liability.

Also, why do you think I have low expectations of my government? I expect them to try their best to prevent fraud just as I expect corporations to do their best to avoid committing it.
I'm confused by your comment. It feels like you're upset about the parent advocating for unfair life, but I think they're merely pointing out what they're observing, not making any moral arguments of what should be.

How sad that people are lured into "money" and selling and buying "money" while not understanding that provision of products and services are the most valuable in the world, and that any money is just a certificate of trust exchangeable for such products or services.

Bitcoin is nothing but speculation and this kind of forks cannot make it better. Basic agreements especially relating to money shall never be changed or people loose trust in it.
The problem is if social security number is used not only for identification but authentication. Knowing someone's SSN shouldn't ever get you anything: SSN could as well be public information, ideally. I don't know about the US but where I live, bank account numbers are effectively public: you could publish yours on the internet and all people could do is put money on your account. The bank will then require official authentication if you wish to use the account number to withdraw money.

Using an unique identification number for authentication is authentication by proxy. Yes, it's highly likely that only the right person knows his own number but never guarantees anything.

Make authentication easy and solid and the bar for frauding through stolen identity goes up.

Let's turn that around. Imagine your business starts out well, you have a kid or two and then it fails. And you're broke. And your kids have no cushion. Should your kids now have a worse start into life?

Assuming we know nothing about you and knowing how many businesses fail, it's quite likely that this second situation might happen. And if you come out ahead, it happens to countless of people starting a business. Should their kids be at a disadvantage? I don't consider this reasonable.

I'm just shocked at what this message board has become. All I see now are endless stories and comments on high rent, inequality and politics. Just yesterday tons of people were complaining about how much money a startup was spending on marketing as if development should be the only expense.

Not rich? Work smarter - you probably have a much better perspective on what the masses need / use than a rich person does. Convince a money man to invest in your ideas.

Rent is too high? Consider the chances your SV startup will make you a millionaire are near 0. You may want to live elsewhere.

Not sure what to think here... Google's 'public liaison for search' says "Google briefly carried tweets with dubious info "[0] without defining further what that means - except their Twitter results are changing "second by second"[1], and later assuring that it "only happened for a few thousands who searched for his name"[2].

This was not my experience. I took a screenshot of my search results at 9:06PM ET [3], e.g. 1-2+ hours after the egregious tweets (which were already prominently featured within 30-40 minutes, if not earlier, as several other sources suggest[4]).

I might be missing something, but it seems disingenuous to suggest that this only happened for a short period of time, while downplaying the matter by vaguely and generally hinting at second-by-second dynamic tweet update algorithms.

Also I even think the claim that only a few thousand people saw this may be disproven by Google's own statistics. According to Google Trends, searches for Devis Patrick Kelly peaked between 7-9PM ET [5] - so before I took the screenshot that night.

I find it very hard to believe that only a few thousand people saw this over the 2+ hours when this peaked on that night. Based on the Google Trends graph[6] it seems the vast majority of searches happened during the peak, and I suspect it's reasonable to assume that millions have searched for his name since his name was publicly revealed?

> Isn't it legally required that you carry your ID at all times unless you are within 200 meters of your home?

In Germany there is no such requirement, even though many Germans also think that you have to carry it with you. But the Ausweispflicht (Obligation of identification) only means that you have to own an ID, but you can leave it home most of the time (which I do).

Because that's what it's like in Software right now. There has never been an industry before where the market rate is so high for individual contributors, and the real cost of starting a business are so low.

Software is a Perfect Storm of near-zero overhead and near-infinite execution leverage as compared to pretty much any other type of business.

So sure, you're right that a poor kid working at a Shoe Store can, over the course of his lifetime, open between zero and one shoe stores.
