If you look at Facebook's original success then it was all down to being in the right place and the right time with the right product. It was one of those billion to one scenarios that Zuck and those other two brothers arrived at through pure luck. People were giving away data online which other companies lusted after. Now how do you repeat that? Well you don't but other lucky startups can be bought which Facebook has a history of doing. Buy anything which might have social aspects to it and the dartboard eventually gets the bullseye hit.

Now if you want to invest in your own product and make it a success then Facebook has no experience of doing that. It's why Metaverse is doomed to fail. Add in that users are leery of Facebook's motives and their perversions for spying on your every waking moment. Hopefully they will implode and die.

If you visit Georgia (the country, not the state), they have a cool system for cash payments to websites.

You go on the website, order your stuff. When the normal payment screen that comes up, instead of Mastercard or visa, you choose "Cash". You'll then be sent a text message with a number (or the number appears on the screen if you don't have a phone). You go to any ATM anywhere in the country, put that number into the ATM, feed the cash into the coin and note slot, and then your goods will be ordered.

The same system is used for paying taxes in cash, utility bills in cash, etc.

They can do refunds in cash using the same system.

You do pay a fairly hefty (10% if I remember correctly) fee for using that service though.

Yes. The IRS is a relatively good organization, and a much older one than many of the state revenue agencies that underperform it so pitifully. This thread isn't a debate on whether we like the tax code (which the IRS doesn't control, not that it matters) but rather a discussion on whether the age and size of a bureaucracy determines its efficiency. Here's a counterexample to that claim.
The post also fails to mention Axie Infinity.

I don't think MMOs belong to the blockchain enthusiasts, but they don't belong to the blockchain naysayers either. Anyone can use them to support their argument. I think MMOs can be used as examples of what blockchain powered Metaverse tech could achieve, if they figured it out. And Axie is an example of something that already has taken off, though in a very flawed way.

Modern ATM bill acceptors have sensors that can read serial numbers off of bills. I don't know whether it's been publicly stated that this occurs (and don't have any relevant personal knowledge, either), but the capability exists in the field.
'Metaverse' is a stupid term anyway that had no value beyond referencing Snow Crash. Let 'Meta' sit on that stinker now and forever. When the tech is ready (for real this time!) we will know what it should be called (suggestion: Virtual Reality, or VR, for short).

Not sure on the fees part of that - cash handling itself is expensive, both for direct reasons, and anti-theft reasons. Anywhere from time spent counting drawers to full-on armored car service. All of that is expensive, and not present when credit cards are used (and conversely, a network fee doesn't exist on cash). I think all payment methods end up with some costs to them.
> “The reason that’s always been done is for color consistency, to ensure that there’s a perfect match between the doors and the rest of the car body,”

I was interested to learn this was also a consideration in apparel manufacturing: dyed fabrics have some perceptible color variation between batches. So, although some complex components are made separately before being combined, these components have to be managed so that all the visible fabrics from the separate components being combined into a unit came from the same dyed batches of materials.

I'm sorry, I don't understand why the other commenter thinks they are write and you are wrong? We live in a representative democracy. The Prime Minister is elected by proving a majority in the Lok Sabha, and the President is elected by electoral college, that doesn't mean that the President isn't elected? You are absolutely right to say that the President is elected.

I think until we can accurately simulate the human body, there is essentially no hope for these areas. Unless it is possible to run highly controlled multi-generational studies with large numbers of people, statistical significance cannot be attained. Various meta analysis are funded and completed, but these do not count as strict definition science requires actual experiments to be independently replicated.

> fixated on lumping together entire 50% of the population into a bucket

its not about fixating 50% into the bucket. its about incentives. there are plenty of good women for sure. the issue is there's a lot of predators out there too. And they will look and act like someone you'd want to marry. right up till its too late. You want to deny that most divorces are initiated by women? that women get custody (and the house) most of the time and that family courts are incentivized to do so because they GET A CUT? fine. But don't lecture me like I'm somehow being a less than moral person for pointing out the very obvious hazard.

If you meet the right person, go ahead and get married. but don't go in without knowing that its a one sided agreement that doesn't benefit men in the slightest.
Just reading the comments here, x seems to always be a hashmap. It is implied that there's no fundamental array type in the language. So no, x[0] and x[1] do not refer to the same variable, although they certainly could compare the same depending on their specific values.
It looks to me like there's two different notions of cash tracking being discussed. One is tracking individual bills and the other is tracking transactions that involve exchanging goods or services for cash.
In the UK the banks are happy to deal with businesses paying cash, but there are fees, and if your holding cash on premises then you’ll need insurance, which means you’ll need a safe…

The reason supermarkets offered cash back was that this allowed them to massively reduce the amount of cash held on site and thus reduce their insurance costs.
If the bank teller counts out the cash from a drawer and hands it to you, no. If he runs it through a counting machine, or you get the cash from an ATM, maybe?
Yes. I cannot stand cash, I hate carrying it, I hate coins, I don’t want to keep up with it. I leave my house with nothing but my phone and I’m good.

I don’t have a wallet, and I don’t want one. I want efficient and secure digital currency, with easy interfaces between digital wallets. I pay for my lawn care via Cash App, most of the other small businesses have Square or something similar.

If I need anonymous currency, I will convert to crypto and then convert once or twice more across different coins. It’s good enough for my use.
Close (enough) to zero then.

Most good private trackers have an invite system, you can't just join one on a whim and get access.

Their process is profitable enough just by scanning the well known ones so they don't need to bother with trying to get access to private trackers.
Mangling is mentioned in the standard.

In this case though the underlying reason is that its part of the type (system) not because of the mangle specifically.
This is so much cheaper per dollar than people think. Certainly cheaper than credit card fees once you're over a certain volume, unless you are in a very high-crime area. Even then, thieves will often steal off the shelves instead of out of the cash register because that's a much smaller crime. Small businesses get the short end of the stick on cash management, again, because they may not be.
> each legitimate bill has a unique serial number, and yes, at least at present I haven't heard of private actors outside of those that service law enforcement tracking it

This isn't quite what you meant, but 20-ish years ago there was some crowd-tracking of Euro-bills.

The Euro was pretty new and people were excited about their banknotes showing up in other countries. Some people created a website where you could enter the serial number of your bills. Each serial number would have a tracking page in which places it showed up. It felt kinda cool to find a bill in your wallet that had visited a few other countries.
I think your 3D printing company basically exists because of Therac-25 indifference in the 3D printing community. We could put motor position encoders on the axes to actually detect crashes. But those things are like $20 per axis, and your microcontroller needs a quadrature encoder, so we say "fuck it, we'll do it with OpenCV". It's good when it's good, I guess!
Additional: Blazons mostly concern themselves with the distinguishing element, the coat of arms on the escutcheon, with the external devices described mostly by reference – the papal tiara, an Earl’s coronet, a naval crown, etc. Mostly because in the heraldry of a European country these coronets were somewhat standardised – “everybody” knows that a duke’s coronet has acanthus/strawberry leaves – and for well-known crowns of sovereigns like the St. Edwards/Tudor crown, the Crown of St. Stephen, the Holy Roman Emperors Crown and of course the Papal Tiara developed over time well known depictions after their real likeness.

Pius XI didn’t bother to specify the tiara (the “triregnum”) in writing.

> La bandiera della Città del Vaticano è costituita da due campi divisi verticalmente, uno giallo aderente all'asta e l'altro bianco, e porta in questo ultimo la tiara colle chiavi, il tutto come al modello, che forma l'allegato A alla presente legge.

> Lo stemma è costituito dalla tiara colle chiavi, come al modello che forma l'allegato B alla presente legge.

> Il sigillo porta nel centro la tiara colle chiavi ed intorno le parole « Stato della Città del Vaticano », come al modello che forma l'allegato C alla presente legge.

Translated by Google:

> The flag of the Vatican City is made up of two vertically divided fields, one yellow adhering to the hoist and the other white, and in the latter bears the tiara with the keys, all as in the model, which forms attachment A to this law.

> The coat of arms consists of the tiara with the keys, as in the model which forms annex B to this law.

> The seal bears in the center the tiara with the keys and around the words "State of the Vatican City", as in the model which forms annex C to the present law.

From [1] – where the models in the annexes are printed in black and white.

Getting pixel-perfect representations from textual descriptions seems like a fool’s errand. The original sin, of course, was depicting the coat of arms on the flag, although that seems to be long practice for the preceding flags of the Papal States and institutions, as seen in the linked digital book on Vatican Flags [2] in the article, which features a multitude of different ancient depictions of the flag, often displaying the Papal Tiara’s inner lining in … red.

> "We do not vote for Presidents in India. The president was selected by the ruling party"

The President of India is voted by electoral college. We live in a representative democracy. Just because the President is voted by electoral college doesn't mean they are not elected. Keep in mind that the Prime Minister of India is also not directly elected, they are chosen by the Lok Sabha.
I got my mother an iphone thinking iOS would be more easier for her to use than Android, as she is not much into technology stuff. And it kind of is, though it's easy to hit the walled garden.

And I wanted to create a common calendar so one can set reminders for her (and all of us) about medical appointments, medicines and stuff that we all could manage from our phones, wheter Apple or Android, or my computer, via a web browser, caldav or whatever. I imagined that would be second nature, after all it's just a calendar, right?

The schist thing is kind of a myth. A lot of the Lower Manhattan skyscrapers are built on landfill.

The skyscraper districts are where they are because of transport links; Downtown and Midtown are the places with the most access to all parts of the metropolitan area, because Downtown was the historic center with all the ferry landings and bridges, and Midtown because the rail terminals stopped there.

All of them?

I guess there will be either be rapid improvements to charging time where the real estate burden for charging won’t be too bad or the private landlords will have to pay for it (or get subsidized to). There’s a ton of buildings in each city which aren’t exactly in a rush to do investments in old properties.

Something often not spoken about (as the discussion often focuses on privacy and "power") is the price.

As someone who uses card for most payments (maybe paying in cash a couple of times a year), cash is expensive to use. It requires time out of my routine to take the cash out, unless I can take out an exact amount there I'm then left with change, and then because I don't want the change I normally spend it on things I don't need. If cash in another currency that's very expensive as I have to pay to convert the small amount. On the other hand cards are effectively free to me, even paying in other currencies. I travel a lot and never use local cash.

However, for many people, the reverse is true. If your cash flow is primary in actual cash, then paying into an account can be annoying or even cost money, current accounts without sufficient funds in them often charge a fee (in the UK current accounts, checking accounts?, are typically "free"), some users can't even hold a real bank account and are forced to use pseudo-bank-accounts based on prepaid cards with exorbitant fees, and cash could be argued to subsidise card fees (which are rare in the UK).

I hope that for the foreseeable future both options are accepted at the majority of places. I'm never going to take cash out for a truly discretionary purchase so only accepting cash limits the market, and some people are rarely going to have a card they can use at card-only merchants.

> And nobody has a “right” to have the government provide them free access to any particular information in public libraries. The government can’t dictate to parents what materials they allow their children to access. But the public doesn’t have to pay and make that material available in public libraries.

Don't we though?

Presuming that we have decided that the government will provide public libraries (a service we'll assume is intended to promote the general welfare, or somesuch), it wouldn't be legal, as I understand it, to pass a law refusing to let libraries purchase the Bible, nor could the law prevent libraries from storing books on black history, by black authors. Either ban would run into equal protection and 1a issues.

You're making this an argument about purchasing books, but in almost all cases, the actual things happening here are removal (and destruction) of books already on library shelves. And while there are costs to sustain and store stock at libraries, those costs are extremely low comparatively, and removal of existing books is almost certainly 1a relevant.

(To be clear, this is legitimately a question. You know more about constitutional jurisprudence than I do, but my understanding is that libraries banning books isn't usually acceptable from a power of the purse situation, much as like apparently title VI complaints about discriminatory transit practices can also succeed)

A lengthy discussion alluding to the pitfalls of mixing fork() arbitrarily with libraries and threads, discussing terminal sizes in the line discipline and on the terminal itself (although missing that these aren't necessarily the same), showing how library functions are underpinned by system calls, and basically covering the ground that led to the invention of Daniel J. Bernstein's pty tool in 1990 and others.

There's even scope for observation that, like the number of processes that get spawned and instructions that get executed to increment an integer shell variable by 1 (in the traditional way using expr), it's taking four extra forked processes just to write a coloured shell prompt.

Maybe this is a "blind spot" of sorts to the developers of Tree Sitter, but I find that the CLI is directly useful for end users to perform queries on their code. Maybe it would be better if we had dedicated tools that were more oriented at end users rather than developers of TS grammars, but it seems silly not to use a perfectly good tool that already exists.

Somewhat of an aside about building grammars, I have found that the grammars are relatively hard to make small modifications or extensions to. Whereas it's relatively easy with e.g. traditional Vim syntax highlighting. Making grammars easier to extend would be valuable for users of languages like SQL that have a zillion custom dialects.
