> The primary benefit of cashless is pretty much just the ability to be lazy.

By this logic, the primary benefit of just about every technological development in human history is the ability to be lazy. The wheel is just a crutch for those too lazy to drag their loads on sleds.

The downsides of a cashless marketplace are indisputable, but “laziness” is a reductive view of the upsides.

Show HN: Notes to Install Classic Wow on Linux Through Wine (No Proton, Lutris)
I've used Wine before Proton and I think even Lutris and I'm used to command-lining it for installing stuff. My latest notes include getting Classic WoW running! I want to fix up the DXVK/VKD3D install commands a bit to make updating the dlls easier, but aside from that I'm pretty happy with how the installation is.
> The other vital thing that this article fails to mention at all is how manufacturing is shaped by the larger concerns of the product lifecycle - which is (or should be) the actual "product" that leaves the factory.

> "The car" is just a hunk of metal that embodies the product lifecycle - which can be competitively unique from manufacturer-to-manufacturer.

The thing is, Tesla doesn't have a concept about product lifecycle once the car rolls off the line. They don't care about tuners and tinkerers, they don't care about aftermarket sales (e.g. people realizing they might want a trailer hitch), they don't care about people ending in accidents (or why else does it need months for spare parts for a body shop), they don't care about maintenance (because let's be real, unless you get a lemon car, all you'll need to do for 10-15 years is brake and tire changes!) and no one forces them to do so either, so they do what makes the most profit for them: easy assembly trumps everything, and not having much of a dealer/service station network means you don't have to invest money into building it and schmoozing up dealers' arses for incentives.

Their entire structure is fundamentally different from conventional car makers. Add on top what the Chinese are doing, and the conventionals are headed for some really dark times.

I think you’re missing the point, this is not a technology to create politically neutral photos. The way you take a photo and even the way you edit it later will all be your choice. It’s also your choice what to take photos of or not in the first place. All this does is it proves the photo was created by

(1) a trusted application

(2) using a builtin device camera

(3) of a device running attested trusted operating system

(4) and any subsequent edits reference such photo’s original hash.

Hopefully stronger assertions could come in the future. This is just to combat digital forgeries and synthetically generated images. It also does nothing against real-world forgeries like actors wearing costumes or makeup.

Show HN: Tiny – A 2D Game Engine in Kotlin Working with Lua
I created a small 2D game engine named Tiny.

The engine was created using Kotlin Multiplatform and can run on a JVM and JS.
Funny things: Games can be created using the programming language Lua.

Tiny is designed to help you create and test your ideas quickly and effectively. Not only can you run your games on your desktop computer, but you can also export them for the web, making it easy to share your creations with others.

You can create games easily with the hot reload, small API and Lua, which is very easy to learn.

If you want to test a game idea, to try to create your first game or just have fun, give it a try to Tiny.
Raymond Chen discussed that in a relatively recent blog post [0]. The main points are that those constants are typically used to influence struct layouts/alignments, and those must be decided at compile time. The alternative is to generate multiple versions of a struct/other code with different alignments/layouts and choose among them at runtime, but that comes with other tradeoffs.

I swear money handling cost will be reduced by one simple thing that some countries like Canada and Ireland have done (and can be improved): ditch the smaller coin denominations (and maybe add higher denomination coins like $2 like EU and UK have)

Anything under 10 cents gets rounded down/up accordingly

It doesn't matter. Minting and transporting it, even in your pocket costs more than you'll ever get in dealing a more "precise" denomination
This might work but sending cash in the mail is a pretty terrible idea. Most postal services strongly discourage it, or you're using recorded services which are expensive and add all the same tracking issues.

2. BJP has in past offered plum post retirement positions to judges after they delivered some controversial decisions in favour of BJP.

3. BJP has full control on Election commission, and the electronic voting machines. Despite multiple reposts of voting machines found in cars of BJP candidates, or videos of faulty machines showing votes in favour of BJP, and despite calls for letting opposition parties inspect machines, Election commission has never let them inspect the machines.

4. A large number of bigots are in various positions in various administrative services and in recent years they have started showing their hate in open.

India is very much like Turkey, though perhaps no where as close to China or Russia.

State governments in India are not powerful, and they never have been! The constitution of India grants much more power to the Central Government than it does to the State Governments. The BJP government has pushed the boundary of federalism again and again. Here are some concrete examples:

1. Denial of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.

2. Using the Centre-appointed governor to take down the Govt. of Maharashtra.

3. Constant pushback on policies and appointments made by the Govt. of Delhi.

Well, it happened to me just the other day - said it cannot read the card or something like that (even though I had used it less than 15 minutes earlier in another shop). There was already a queue behind me so I forked $40 for gas and went on my way.
It's interesting that the author picked the home depot delivery as an example, because I don't think it was caused by software bugs at all.

The delivery notifications right at the end of the delivery slot happened because the driver has an unrealistic schedule, and to hit their metrics, they will mark deliveries as "delivered" rather than missing an assigned delivery slot.

And that the expensive two-man-handling and delivery to the apartment service got "lost" between seller and subcontractor is more likely cost optimization and banking on most customers not complaining hard enough to actually force them to provide the paid-for service. "Software bug" being a convenient excuse the subcontractor can give to the rightfully enraged customer.
Brazil is almost cashless today.

first month with central bank digital currency, instant kidnaps were thru the roof.

the "solution" lower limits of how much you can transfer. what a joke.

now only 100usd per day can leave your pocket. wish i was kidding. even lower at night when traveling i have to wake up at 3am to make payments thanks to timezones.

people can raise limits, but if you pay for something expensive once you're probably marked forever as having lots of money in your pocket. with cash, that would be a one time opportunity to be robbed. with cashless, you signaled that forever you're a good target.

there's zero benefits for safety.

you fell for the oldest trick in the book.
on a similar note, you can buy airplane tickets online and then pay cash at any 7-11 before your flight.
thanks this is interesting, so the important distinction is the biological vs non biological substrate
> You swipe a card in a reader instead of having to count out cash. That's the major benefit.

It's not just the counting out part that's inconvenient, and it's not just cash. There's also receiving some arbitrary amount of cash and coins that you then have to dump into your pocket/wallet/purse and deal with until your next shopping trip. Coins dangling in your pocket and having to fish them out every time while making sure you don't lose them beforehand is not exactly fun.
Many people see laws against victmimless activities to be a direct curtailment of basic human rights. Even in our own lifetime we've seen completely arbitrary changes to which substances and banned or not banned, so we should be extremely wary of future, similarly arbitrary changes (that we can easily get around using cash).
Looks like the OP has fixed that now.

Large chains, large businesses have no problems accepting cash, nor do they have problems depositing cash with banks. Even if a mega bank, say, Chase/Bank of America in the states, doesn't want to deal with cash deposits from a large retailer, the latter can indirectly 'own' a credit union or another small bank that accepts cash deposits, as this bank can still follow AML regulations. Big banks consider cash deposits/withdrawals and money order deposits to be a big headache, and also back office costs for enforcing AML can be reduced by not dealing with cash/money orders (in other words, any untraceable monetary instruments).

Similar with VW, when their CEO talked about the amount of time their cars spent on the line and in QC versus Tesla, and he talked about it reaffirming that VW could and should spend time improving this, he still only talked about getting the numbers from approximately 3x to approximately 2x, which to me implied "We don't think Tesla does enough QC", which correlates with something I read that said approximately 70% of factory-new Tesla's need SC visits in the first month to correct delivery defects.
I've been using cards nearly exclusively my entire adult life, and I can only think of one time that my card had an issue, and it turned out my whole bank was down for ~1 hour. Inconvenient, but I can think of more times I've forgotten to have enough cash with me, and I barely use cash at all now.

In the UK and Australia where I normally am, card infrastructure is just so entirely universal and reliable that it's not even worth considering.
Yeah crowd-sourcing updates is the way I'd like to go. I'm hoping people will submit photos of menus, because lots of bakeries, cafés etc don't have much of an online presence or keep their menus up-to-date.

I don't have any prescriptions for society as a whole but I can tell you what has worked for me.

Basically I rely on my own observations and experiences: don't trust and verify, to adapt the old saying.

Second I limit myself to trusted sources of information and if I can't find one then I just don't get information on that topic: no information is better than false information.

In practice what this means is no algorithmic news feeds, I'm still looking for a good news source for my local city (haven't found one yet, I moved recently), I think a lot about incentive structures and how that might bias an information source, I (try) to apply skepticism to what I read, I block as much noise as possible (for example I don't pay attention to surface level political news because its all noise and virtually no signal), I focus on long term trends rather than "points" in the timeline.

This is far from perfect but its what has evolved as my approach over time.
Essential tips for building high-performing teams
this is too cyberpunk for me i wont jack in to the smell sensory service
I have to apologize, but you don't understand what the concept of "laundering money" means. It has nothing to do with tracking cash bills through serial numbers and it has never had anything to do with that.

"Laundering money" means that criminals make transactions in order to use cash they have from their illicit gains within the general economy, ie get it into a bank account and being able to declare where they got the money from.

> 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.

Not at all.
I’ll say that this example doesn’t convince me that chatgpt is a substitute. I find it downright confusing.

We start off with “imagine a magic castle”, then a magical backpack that lets you put things in and take them out in a different location - doesn’t a regular backpack do this already? and a (magical?) room that disappears. None of this makes any sense, it doesn’t relate any of these concepts to something a student might already know about.

I don’t doubt that gpt will continue to improve, but this example makes me feel like the OP will definitely be able to add value for explaining concepts.

I believe that if I cared more about privacy than my life, I wouldn't go to a public institution full of people I objectively cannot trust because I don't personally know them and then put my life in their hands.

Privacy schizos need to stop making up nonsense. All of your diagnosed illnesses are permanently stored in a database that will never ever be deleted until decades after your death. This data is already shared between all hospitals. The moment you step through the hospital door you aren't at home and your privacy fantasies end. Literally any malicious worker could leak your data and then what? Why does this even matter. If I see you in a street, I can tell you're sickly just from the direction you're walking in.
It's dishonest to portray it as if it is only about being "lazy".
