A decade ago my friends were already paying for drugs with Venmo. The dealers aren’t very careful because they’re rarely caught on the financial side. If the recent revelations are anything to go by, they’re probably using Cash app now.

Cash is nearly impossible to use on the internet. The web is a window into what the physical world will look like without cash. Incidents like Pornhub's show us the power a few companies will wield over us when the transition to cashless happens.

In D, every part of the grammar that is a constant-expression must be compiled at compile time. For example:

void test() {

int square(int y) { return y * y; }
int x = square(3); // evaluate at square at run time
enum y = square(3); // evaluate at square compile time

}

(Although, when the optimizer gets through inlining square(), etc., it will wind up at compile time anyway.)
Are these really inconveniences? Most of the times I've had trouble paying for stuff were usually at supermarkets or gas stations where the credit card reader would refuse to acknowledge my card. Swiping/inserting/touching, not even cursing worked so without cash on hand I'd have had to surrender my ID to the clerk, take a cab to the closest ATM and return with cash.
Points or rebates too.
It is admittedly a mindset that is born of C coding. Pointers and memory offsets and so forth. But lots of languages that abstract such "close to the metal" factors away, still use 0 based indexing.

Not ideal, but fairly easy to hand roll this with the new web push notification support. I support it as a component of a site I'm working on.

The main annoying part is iOS PWA's kill their service workers when off screen even when explicitly told not to via the `waitUntil` command, so you need to have a server running which handles keeping track of the ongoing timeouts and calls the push notification endpoints accordingly.

Code for that is here, https://github.com/JacksonKearl/push-simple. There's a Dockerfile, currently deployed via fly.io.

Cost. If you've already got an old, cheap server lying around, then having an 8 TB box at home is very cheap. Say, $15 a month for Mullvad + power usage. Reputable seedboxes seem to be in the range of ~$60 a month for 8TB of storage. Obviously, if you want to scale beyond that, it's as simple as adding another 8 TB drive to your box at home, whereas a cloud seedbox would nearly double in price.
> Can't be tracked

If that were true, then criminal elements wouldn't need to severely launder their money. It's a spectrum. Cash can be tracked, 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, but the reality is that if you withdraw $8k to pay for a motorcycle and hand it to a guy that sells you the motorcycle and then deposits it straight into his own bank account then yes, this is quite obviously tracked.

For more information I suggest getting some books on Terrorist Financing for the new meta. There is a former Canadian Security Intelligence Service lady out there that wrote a whole book on it recently.
I think you're missing the point of the example. It wasn't that websites can't function without cash payments, but that without cash you're held hostage to the whims of a few gatekeepers (like PH).

I don't think you understand. Sure, 2SAT and XORSAT are, in isolation, too weak to be NP-complete. However, if you combine them, and allow for both types of clauses in the same instance (on a common set of variables), then surprisingly it is NP-complete (I call that class 2XSAT), by reduction from 3SAT.

This is, to my knowledge, a previously unknown reduction and the reason why I now strongly believe that P=NP.

If the only argument against getting rid of cash is that it would make it harder to commit crimes, that sounds like a good reason to get rid of cash.

How D decides it is if the grammar says its a constant-expression, whatever makes up the constant-expression gets evaluated at compile time - functions and all. For example,

int square(int x) { return x * x; }

static assert(square(3) == 9);

This allows one to write unit tests that are checked at compile time, whereas:

int main() { assert(square(3) == 9); }

is always a runtime check.

Compile time unit testing is a significant win:

1. it's always more productive to find problems at compile time rather than run time

2. it isn't necessary to conditionally turn off compilation of the tests for the release build

3. you can't forget to run the tests before shipping

Mullvad have made it work, but it’s definitely not smooth. I believe their process is to assign a unique ID to your invoice, which you can then write on an envelope stuffed with cash you mail to the correct address. On receipt they match your cash with the invoice and mark it as paid.

Even though inflation has increased three folds since the bank secrecy act, they have kept the limits so low to track any cash entry/exits out of the financial system. Big brother doesn't want the powerless people to unite--thats the end goal.
From what I hear, the issue is that you don’t get promoted for such “maintenance” work.

I thought I was this way before. I realized that it's not true, I am bothered by the little things and they do add up over time. I may not remember exactly how many times some little pet peeve has annoyed me, but you can bet by the fourth or fifth time my physical reaction to the peeve will be much stronger than the first time. It's feels like indigestion, a really unpleasant sensation in the gut. Once I notice I am having an unpleasant physical reaction to something I try to get it out immediately if it's something that I feel we should talk about.
Ya absolutely, and thus my preference for "lenses" or "abstractions" of thoughts. I think people are expressing something real and felt when they talk about their "lizard brain" doing something independent of their "human brain".

I'm quibbling with the authors rejection of Descartes. "I observe therefore I am" and "I think therefore I am" are isomorphic, as an unthinking observer, a truly passive mechanism, would be unable to express or even meaningfully experience the former.

A rock is a passive observer, shaped by its environment purely experientially without reflection or commentary. A human mind and consciousness, whatever set of forms you might want to fit it in (dualism, materialism, whatever the hell Chalmers is doing), is not passive, it is reflective.

Now, the mechanisms by which qualia are passed to that reflective mind are passive or at least involuntary, and these give rise to certain involuntary thoughts, experiential thoughts.

I cannot refuse the thought of the form "the air is hot", because I cannot refuse the experience of being hot. For that I'm just along for the ride. But when I reflect on how I nickelpro will logically place my self-satisfaction due to the heat, that's not a passive act. And all of these reflective and experiential thoughts are mixed up in the soup of my single consciousness, not strictly delineated within my narrative.

Constexpr does not guarantee that a constexpr function can be called at compile time, unfortunately. Only that it can be called at runtime for a subset of all possible parameters.

Except of course the subset of parameters for which it is constexpr callable can't be checked at function definition time (if it exists at all), only at function invocation time.

Which makes the constexpr annotation useless and it is in only because the authors couldn't otherwise get the paper through some committee objections.

You really have to double check everything yourself, which sucks if you are weaken.

I was at the hospital last week for a pretty bad condition and my IV was badly set. I told the nurse to change it for 4 days, they kept refusing, trying to adjust it.

Eventually I just told the doctor what was happening, and he said "oh, that's why your readings were messed up, I was wondering why I had to change your drug dose every day".

They changed my IV in the next hours, and my conditions improved overnight.

I discussed that with some doctor and nurse friends, and they all told me to never, ever trust a health practitioner you don't know very well. You need to be very proactive in your treatment, because they are exhausted, have many people to treat in a row and are only humans.
In my mind, the ambiguity of what "the metaverse" actually means allowed a bunch of people to sell it as panacea in different realms. When the smoke cleared and you were left with MMOs, video chat, and vr setups people don't buy or use, a lot of those castles start to fall over.

However, stuff like Fortnite or Roblox, which seemingly fulfill many of the Metaverse promises, continue to be reasonably successful. But they don't try to market themselves as "the metaverse," and while their have been brand tie ins, the product is marketed to players, not businesses.

Yeah I completely understand a business not wanting to handle cash. It's bulky, dirty, easy to steal, must be secured in a heavy expensive safe, it takes time to count, it has to be physically transported to the bank or picked up by an armored car service, it's error-prone.

But in terms of personal freedom, I don't want cash to go away.
> Why are only Hindu temples under the control of various state governments?

That is because historically, a lot of the land (farm and non-farm) came under the Hindu temples when the temples were under the administration of kings. The British East India Company took over the administration which then transferred to the provinces (prior to independence) and then the states post-independence. Different states then passed laws. For eg: See https://hrce.tn.gov.in/hrcehome/hrce_about.php for Tamilnadu state's Hindu religious and charitable endowments department.

> Religious minorities can run their own schools where they can teach their children their way of life? Can Hindus do this qua Hindus?

Ofcourse they do. I studied in a school ran by a Hindu trust and we had students from all religions. There was morning devotional prayers (Hindu hymns), friday bhajans (singing religious hymns) etc., and everyone attended. Stop spreading this hate about us vs them.

> When religions conversions are used to shift demography, this has national security implications

Ah, the national security bogeyman! Why don't you try shifting the demography of the armed forces to address that? I think men and women in defence forces from all religious backgrounds would have something to say about that.

> In practice, we just use a cutoff of 4cm.

In other words, we extract a single feature, and apply a single nonlinear activation function to that feature to decide whether or not to activate the 'treat' signal. We've replaced all that vaunted human judgement and mental modeling of the body with a heuristic that has equivalent power to a single neuron neural network.

I appreciate that there's a dearth of training data, and it varies in quality. But this is precisely the kind of thing where sufficiently powerful ML could do better than the simple heuristics we can come up with.

The heterogeneity of imaging types doesn't have to be a problem. Train the model on all the data, and all the different kinds of scan, all the anatomical knowledge.

Look at how LLMs are able to do stuff like write code that has comments written in pirate speak. Do you think they learned how to do that by studying a large body of code with pirate-speak comments in? No. They picked up examples of pirate speak in one context, and code in another context, and they're able to combine them together in ways that make sense.

ML models looking at diagnoses with small training sets that are largely in obsolete scan formats could still, in theory, learn how to spot those diagnoses in more modern scan images, because they have learnt from other, much larger datasets how things in the newer format correlate with features in the old form.
