Inventory is not a second currency. Multiple currencies are handled using Exchange loss/gain accounts.
I will try running your example from scratch. You begin business with $100 capital which is deposited to your bank account. I am using Cr for credit, Db for Debit

1. Starting capital: Capital Cr $100, Bank Db $100

2. Purchase widgets worth $50: Bank Cr $50, Inventory Db $50

3. You sell half of this inventory (valued $25) for $75 in cash:

Sales Cr $75, Cash Db $75

Inventory Cr $25, Cost of goods sold Db $25

4. You sell rest of your inventory on credit to John for $110:

Sales Cr $110, Accounts Receivable-John Db $110,

Inventory Cr $25, Cost of goods sold Db $25

5. You pay $30 salaries via cheque: Bank Cr $30, Expense-Salary Db $30

At the end of all this your PL (profit loss statement) would look like this

Sales: $185 (110 + 75)

Cost of goods sold: $50 (as you sold all of the inventory)

Gross profit = sales - cost of goods sold = 185 - 50 = $135

Expenses = $30 (salaries only)

Net profit = gross profit - expenses = 135 - 30 = $105

Your balance sheet at the end of all this will be :

Capital: Cr $100

Accumulated profit: Cr $105

Bank: Db $20

Cash: Db $75

AR John: Db $110

Inventory: 0 (as you sold all).

Note the balance sheet balances nicely as Capital + Accumulated profit = bank + cash + AR + inventory
You’re thinking of Apple Cash, which is a Green Dot Bank debit card that used to use Discover and now uses Visa Debit. Apple Pay in general works with all four major networks and nearly any credit or debit card.
Not just Java. It's best for any languages they support. The only thing is that it's not lightweight but hopefully they'll get Fleet right.

Ah, good point. That would be rather tricky to solve.
I agree.

A fundamental problem with how we teach programming is that we focus on writing, instead of reading, software. To borrow terminology from the language arts; we don't focus enough on reading comprehension.
$300b/year doesn't sound so bad
It has better scalability if you don't care about decentralisation whatsoever and that it's possible that everyone can store a copy of everyone's else's coffee transactions in perpetuity. It's not possible without huge, expensive to run servers, which is why nobody runs a BCH node. Uptime? By what metric? Bitcoin, the real one, has 100% uptime since the fork. The entire LN did not "go down the other day due to one bad node", that is not how it works at the most fundamental level. It simply did not happen. If you're a sockpuppet then nobody is buying it sorry, your coin is dead. And if you've actually fell for this narrative and actually hold BCH, then I am truly sorry and hope you realise you've fell for a scam before you lose any more money.
The Fed is absurdly profitable.
"Few rental properties will have under a 3.7% ROI"

This is a leveraged investment (meaning you have a mortage). What that means is for your 20% down payment (the actual money you invest), that 3.7% writeoff on income can be an 18.5% cash on cash yield (ROI) in which you pay no taxes, ever. Few properties on the market can get you a better yield than that. If your ultimate yield is less than that you can roll those losses over year over year, so that then later if/when you get more yield you still* don't have to pay any taxes. It's a really big tax loophole and is the reason Donald Trump pays almost nothing in taxes (and he admitted as much in the presidential debate).

*I own 3 properties in buffalo, one of the best rent to value markets in the US, and it's hard to find better yield than that even in that market. https://simplepassivecashflow.com/rv/
I feel the same way! I have a 2005 Porsche Boxster, and it doesn't have a touch screen or junk like that. I can operate all controls without looking at them. People are shocked to find its 17 years old because it doesn't look dated like cars just a few years newer with bad TFT displays, slow touch screens, infotainment, etc. This car is the best driving experience I've ever had, and for less than a new Kia.
Well, thechnically A64 supports FullHD video decoding acceleration, and can run Kodi (librelec) smoothly. It's just SW is there only since 1-2 years ago.

Supercomputer it certainly is not, though. :D If you mean this: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pine64/pine-a64-first-1...

Here's libreelec running on Pinephone (same A64 SoC) https://xnux.eu/log/videos/libreelec6.mp4
I used to feel the exact same way until I saw what Circle did with USDC.

I’m highly doubtful that FedNow will be able to compete in terms of innovative new features. Say what you will about blockchain, there’s a lot of builders out there aggressively churning out new tech without anyone’s permission.
I'm just grateful it's a duopoly and not a monopoly. Can you imagine how much worse the situation would be if one company soft-owned the entire space the way Facebook does with social media?
If checking accounts get debit-only RTNs for cheap/free, this could potentially catch on. $0.06 per transaction with $25/month subscription fee is incredibly cheap, plus no chargebacks!

Biggest issue I see is that the larger banks might not offer this to their customers so as to not cannibalize their credit card businesses and/or in-house payment system.
I'm surprised that the author did not even mention about GC and I think it's another programming breakthrough after structured programming.

Currently GC for compiled languages like Go and D (optional) are considered as disadvantages rather than an advantages for high performance systems.

Perhaps if we can get AI enabled GC that has good performance as manual memory management in C++ and Rust it will be a genuine breakthrough for modern programming languages.
If you lose a nuclear submarine it does not matter how it sank, Some nuclear stuff is lost and lying somewhere in a place when can't be safely maintained. It was not designed to end its life like that so, of course that this was a major incident, a significant deviation from the master plan!.

Only a fool would think that just because you don't see it, the problem is gone.

But the nuclear evangelists did never learn that lesson. They keep denying, closing their eyes, talking like is still 1950; saying that we can hide under a picnic tablecloth in case of nuclear accident.
I disagree with the author (and stated as much as recently as yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32485460#32489682).

> With thousands of geometries in an interactive map, with lists and tables of items filtered by bounding box and categories, sorted by geodetic distance from wherever you were interested in, the performance issues that arose were never too many uses of useCallback or useMemo. The opposite caused issues multiple times however, of the app running haywire (or to a halt) kind.

The author here is taking their very valid and necessary use case for the optimization of memoization - non-trivial and expensive operations - and extrapolating from that to "just use useMemo, it's a best practice". Memoized functions are more complicated to reason about and therefore more bug prone than their alternative. Most client-side apps don't have thousands of records they're iterating over, they have dozens. Throwing around memo because one might one day become big, and you'd pay some performance penalty, doesn't seem prudent to me.
This where Azure and the Microsoft ecosystem is pretty far ahead from a developer experience standpoint.

I’m not an MS fanboy by any stretch but VS Code, Azure Functions, and even local storage emulation with Azurite is pretty slick.

First time I played with it my background was very far from anything in this space (literally first time I used node) and I had a completely locally developed toy function with storage up and running in maybe 30 minutes. Then in a few clicks it was deployed and running in Azure.

All in less time than it took for me to wander through the AWS docs and console to even figure out which product to use.
There is one way to make a touch screen suck even more, which is found in my car. As your finger is under way in mid air to press it, it detects this motion, and then changes the UI. Some pulldown hover menu pops up, displacing the thing you wanted to touch.

This is also a car where when you slowly park close to something (bushes, wall) it has a complete meltdown as if in a car crash.

When in a traffic jam, 10 minutes later it loudly alerts "slow traffic ahead".

It even auto breaks in situations where I had plenty of response time, and then some more.

It feels like I'm in some sociology test. How far can we push this guy before he drives this piece of shit off a cliff? I imagine a team of engineers watching me on a live feed for Friday afternoon entertainment.
That video is in r/conspiracy so it already tells me it's not as "guaranteed" as you think.
There was never a scientific consensus that there was a coming ice age. There were already more papers being published about global warming than about global cooling throughout the 1970s.

Indeed. It was invented by a group of displaced Frenchman in the mid 11th century.
"An no one will now rent, since your building has an effective value of $0 since it has become crap."

This isn't true. You will have put money into the property to keep its value up, also writing off all of those expenses, so that you can still rent it out.
Because we have no option. Such resources are limited. We either destroy our own environment - assuming it holds such resources - suck up or expand outwards. I’d choose the latter but it seems our collective culture is weak and unable to sustain radical positive transformation. The industrial revolution couldn't take place today even if we wanted, let alone ambitious resource extraction projects.
> Coke-Pepsi duopoly be broken?

Dr.Pepper, Monster Beverage, Redbull, Asahi, Arizona, and thousands of other smaller players exist.

> Google-Baidu?

Google is a search monopoly for English speakers. Steps should be taken to remove Google's ability to enforce via Chrome and Android, or prioritize adsense sites. Perhaps the DOJ can split their business units or force third party offerings to be required.

> Nearly any professional sport is a monopoly (NFL, NBA, etc)

If sports aren't fungible, XFL. If they are, there are thousands of leagues. Did you know Michael Jordan played golf?
Use JWT over HTTPS to RealtimeDB. Has the same presence detection as MQTT. A lot cheaper too. I actually like it better than using MQTT. All of our devices attach to multiple RealtimeDB and then we sweep the data into Firestore for human interaction. Front end for RealtimeDB is open source so you can port it.
No deterrent is effective against a regime sufficiently detached from reality.

Putin called it a "special military operation" for a reason. It was supposed to be like Czechoslovakia in 1968. The troops go in, reach Kyiv in a few days, and take over without any real fighting. Ukraine was not supposed to be able and willing to resist. Russian military didn't even know there was going to be a war, which is why it failed so catastrophically in the first days.

The outcome of this war is going to determine whether international trade is still an effective deterrent. If Russian economy depends so much on Western technology that they will lose in the long term regardless of the oucome of the war, this was just the exception that tests the rule. If the West gives up and resumes trading with Russia, the deterrent will be gone.
It’s now allowed almost universally. I believe there are a couple of states that still don’t allow it, but for the most part, you can add a credit surcharge now. This was part of a massive lawsuit by retailers against the CC processors that was eventually settled.

Here are the Visa rules for it.
https://usa.visa.com/support/small-business/regulations-fees...

Basically you can add a small surcharge amount, but nothing more than the actual cost of the transaction.

The style where it prints out a ballot which you feed into the scanner is actually not-insane. It's good for accessibility (e.g. lets visually impaired people vote without assistance) but still leaves a paper trail for recounts and things.
I wa in the same boat, but flashing Tow-Boot to SPI flash made booting much nicer. Mine's currently booting from an SSD and works great.
That is a lot of jobs!
That's pretty arguable.

Assange is in chat logs with Manning who then passed Assange a password hash and with Assange saying he will attempt to get it cracked. The password would have given Manning admin privileges on SIPRNet, allowing her to pull more files to leak and better cover her tracks.

That's being pretty directly involved in leaks imo.

Doesn't FedNow just provide transit? Whether the payment comes out of a deposit account or a credit account seems beyond the purview of FedNow and up to your arrangement with your bank, similar to how VISA is used to provide transit for credit cards as well as debit cards, depending on your arrangement with the card issuer.
> Merchants can pass the CC surcharge through; I’d expect them to do so when a very low cost immediate settlement option is available.

Canada has had low-cost Interac debit cards for a long time, and although they've been very popular, merchants generally don't impose any credit card fees.

Also, even Canadian online businesses generally don't bother implementing payments with Interac online, so for online shopping it's not even an option.

Perhaps some of this will be better at US scale.
What you call "Bitcoin", is not Bitcoin by its own whitepaper. And it certainly DOESN'T have 100% uptime.

Keeping blocks artificially limited at 1mb doesn't make it more decentralized, it actually makes it more centralized, since barely anyone in the world can use the network or pay the fees when a bunch of people are using it at the same time.
It's not clear that the assumption (Y,Y,N), etc. is possible.
The fees are 3% only in the US and the bulk of that is returned to buyers as cash back or loyalty points, and to offset the cost of loan origination and warranties.

The EU has capped debit interchange at .2% and credit at .3%, Australia in the low 1s if I recall correctly. They just don’t really have rewards.
Why isn't there basic information available on this cve? What version range is affected? What applications or system utilities are affected? Is it remotely exploitable or local only? Does it require elevated privileges?

This is the level of support you get from a trillion dollar company?
The Achilles heel of this setup is that not all transactions are equal risk. Very low risk transactions are paying near identical fees to very high risk transactions, despite orders of magnitude differences in fraud rates.

How long will Apple selling in-store products to 800 FICO score consumers be willing to subsidize eBay vendors and gift card resellers?
So? Most people's entire existence is predicated on unsustainable consumerism. There is literally too much to care about. If you require that people must care about all issues to care about any issue, then progress won't be made. Maybe that's your intention.
They might still be working on it
The grandparent is exaggerating somewhat, it's split between Alibaba and WeChat.
> If global warming reaches around 3°C toward the century’s end, Deloitte’s analysis indicates that economic damages would grow and compound, affecting every industry and region in the country.

I'm betting we overshoot +3c by a fair bit. Given how little progress has been made (emissions are still _accelerating_), I'm at least pleased to see some resource that doesn't merely talk about +1.5c. We've passed that point already. The IPCC's 6th report estimates that if we merely burn the GHGs that are easily accessible via our existing mines, oil rigs, etc, we're headed to +2.5c.

I really hope that Deloitte's report here does some good by giving financial numbers to people who only care about the numbers. (But I doubt it. Very few people with ANY decision-making power will be alive in 2100. "Why worry? I'll be dead.")
That’s it? Seems like it might be easier to spend money to mitigate the effects of climate change rather than stop climate change itself. There is probably a sweet spot between carbon reduction and climate change effect mitigation that optimizes the total cost.

Somewhat tangential, but I'm curious how big the bootstrap seed for Nix is. That is, if you wanted to build the entire world, what's a minimum set of binaries you'd need?

Guix has put quite a bit of work into this, AFAIU, and it's getting close to being bootstrappable all the way from stage0 [0]. Curious if some group is also working on similar things for Nix.

Authentication and capture have different processing requirements and availability needs.

You want to have 100% uptime for authorize, but correctness isn't strictly required; if you allow too much in charges, you'll probably end up collecting user fees, which is not a negative for the bank. On the other hand, you want exactly once processing for capture, and you don't really need that to have 100% uptime, since the financial industry is built around batch processing.
> Standard boomer rant.

Please stay polite. I'm not a boomer and my comment wasn't a rant.

> Yes, it's called the status quo.

I didn't mention the "status quo", please don't misquote me in order to make a clever retort.

> Which one, ASCII [...]

I preemptively mentioned which one, which defuses the rest of your sentence. More importantly, you know which one I meant. And I know you know, so please, let's not argue this.

> I am locked into using retarded insecure terminal emulators [...] Even vim breaks from unicode already

None of this has much to do with what I wrote. Again, I must ask you to stay polite and on topic. If you dislike your tools, use better ones.

> The primitive language of the OS should not be some poorly defined idea of "text", but algebraic data types.

This discussion is about representations meant to be universally understandable by programmers, i.e. humans, not by the OS.

> [reading] is better done by graphics that text

Reading is mostly done using a special kind of "graphics" called "text". People with disabilities or who are busy doing something else, like driving a car, choose alternatives; but let's be honest, most people read text.

I think it's the last thing they would do themselves. Setting up and operating their own TSMC-level fabs would cost Apple:

* tens of billions of dollars

* at least 5 years of time

* most of all: immense effort and focus that could be used elsewhere
In the EU (whole EEA actually) the merchants are not allowed to charge a different amount for cash and personal cards (debit or credit cards). They can charge the transaction fee they pay for business (company) cards and they need to inform the consumer in advance.
Outside Paywall - https://archive.ph/pUZc3
They’re not. The 3% is a blended average. The rate varies by the specific card kind, the card brand, the specific vendor in Apples case when they have leverage - or the merchant category code when they don’t have leverage. Even chargeback history matters.

Apple likely has a deal that borderline costs merchant acquirers money and that gift card vendor is probably paying 10%.
This. My company does payment processing for small merchants and all the complexity of credit cards is rooted in this dynamic.

- Consumers can pay stuff on credit

- Consumers can 'chargeback' if they feel something went wrong

These two mechanisms are the lubricant that provides a +% in online commerce greater than the % charged for processing payments.
So if we do nothing it will cost like 1% of GDP? Really?
Predictions of the actual future are hard, but predictions of the future we will encounter if we stay on the path we're on can be very straightforward and reliable.

If I move a shovel full of dirt to the same place in my backyard every day for 20 years, I'm going to have a big pile of dirt there.

It's the same for climate. If we keep dumping CO2 into the atmosphere, physics says we're going to warm the planet. It's a more complex system than the dirt pile, but no reasonable person thinks some unknown unknown is going to randomly overturn that and cause an ice age (other than possibly nuclear winter).

We can see the warming signal from CO2 in history and we can reasonably project the future as well, if current emissions continue.
None of the mentioned coins / solutions: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Lightning Network, Ethereum, Layer 2 solutions are even close to being a credible alternative to the Visa-Mastercard duopoly. (Also, Lightning is not Bitcoin)

No business wants to use a volatile asset that loses its value when a person or institution refunds and immediately sells hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin(s) and takes the whole market down with it for payments at scale in the long term.

We have given it years for them to mature and none of them have the safety / security or standardisation compliance required to be credible enough for regular businesses to being using it and I'm sorry it is not early days.

I would say a cryptocurrency / blockchain project that aids or is faster than the current system, complies with regulations, has a trusted and centralized stablecoin on the network like (USDC) and is able to scale whilst allowing cheap payments will also be able to compete with the Visa-Mastercard duopoly.

That is, the ISO 20020 standard and compliant cryptocurrencies which are highly likely to be used for payments (with USDC) in the long term.
Much better, but five or so peer competitors is best for consumers and other businesses.

Of course, as a business, you want to be a monopoly.
I am saying just the opposite. Most of the easily accessible “rare minerals” are in countries that aren’t our allies.
Or the vulnerability might apply only to a more modern feature.
We're working on self-hosted right now. When that comes out, you'll be able to do exactly what you want without any usage fees from us (you'll take on the AWS usage, storage, load balancer, and other fees though).
Where are the untrustworthy systems you're worried about?

There are no 100% digital voting systems in the US to my knowledge. Where I live, we have a printout that we can review and then hand over to be stored securely as a paper trail.

There are also multiple checks and balances where they confirm that final votes make sense, and if the counts are off, they count the paper ballots.

To compromise an election, you'd have to take over thousands of machines in multiple states, bypass multiple independent human reviews, and be able to predict where the important counties were going to be. It's impossible.
BBC government media used to have Monty Python doing satirical nazi salutes on prime time television. Shows how easily standards can change without constitutional protections.
Interesting work but seems to come with scary applications.

One thing I was wondering from the video. The narrator mentioned that some of the movement is hundreds of times smaller than a pixel. If that's the case, how are they detecting the movement then in those cases? If something moves but stays within a pixel, how are you knowing how it moves since the pixel is the smallest bit of information you have? Or is it because although the physical movement in space is smaller than a pixel, the resulting "color" information for the given pixel changes in proportion to the movement in large enough ways that can be measured?
