Honestly, the article rambled & ranted as much as it informed.

TL;DR: Check cashing exists because banks don't want to deal with people who deposit checks with a high risk profile (whether due to fraud or lack of funds by the payer). Unsurprisingly, this risk gets priced into the product.

Dealing with bounced checks from such people often involves behavior that most of a bank's customers would consider somewhere between impolite and disturbing. Also, many consumers of check cashing do not have state issued IDs and may not be up for dealing with KYC checks.

The situation has gotten somewhat better for low income people in that government benefits are delivered electronically, without needing to cash a check and some emerging electronic payment options may improve it further.

Elon Musk sees $56B Tesla pay deal cancelled in court
At least in poland, the standard measure from simplest payments to settling overdue debt between companies or to government, is "bank confirmation" - a printout/pdf from a bank declaring that a transaction with those details was made at this time.

When I was on ITS, I just implemented SUPDUP in my terminal. It made Emacs usable at 300 baud. That protocol is a nice piece of engineering.

I got a big dose of Telecoms standards early in my career, including some X.25 and networking stuff. After the clarity and simplicity of SUPDUP, my reaction to Big Standards could best be described as "allergic".

[Marshall Rose and Michael Padlipski are good reading on this subject. To this day I use the word "octet" as an epithet]

use standards

not too many

mostly plain ones
It's not 50 red and 50 green. There are 100 total balls, but you don't know how many are red or green. The number of reds is drawn from a uniform distribution, meaning the urn is equally likely to contain 1, 10, 55, or 99 red balls.

Until someone 'accidentally' releases update that enables feature and now you have a critical mass that you can't enforce laws on..?
The home versions being "untrustworthy" also could help push sales of the business version.

Especially with things being done more in the browser, the "business features" of the OS are less of a draw.

So they need to instead put anti-features in the home version to deter business users from "cheaping out".
That's the case now, but things can change. YouTube was originally not much of a platform for listening to music, and probably tried to make the same argument that it was all discovery. Now it's a common alternative to Spotify, so the music owners must be relieved they didn't give them a special low rate.
It's interesting reading the comments that are from a US perspective, where there are vast amounts of untamed land for wildlife and recreation. Many US commenters are highlighting that they would rather that cities be cities, because there is already plenty of green space outside cities.

In the UK, most land is either farmland, or built on, so urban green areas are much more important for wildlife. There is a drive in the UK to create more "green corridors" linking green areas together, but this is facing stiff competition with the drive to develop second cities.

Ripping up parking lots (car parks) and planting trees would be even more important in the UK.
With some browsers and settings, I can't even get the main Google search page or things like Youtube to show up at all, when almost everything non-Google still works just fine.

IIRC at one time search was Google's core competence.

Once I started no longer being able to click on so many things any more, eventually I figured out that it wasn't a problem with my mouse (a $10 problem), all signs "pointed" to it being a problem with Google (over a $trillion problem).
> That's like......every normal bank account?

No. Every normal bank account can go overdrawn. Try it: low value purchases or withdrawals are not transactional (they are eventually consistent).

what irks me about dismissing people's experience is that is so unscientific.

My previous comment on what I saw when I visited Shenzen last year:

I'm quite convinced that China is going to dominate the EV market in the next decade.
I've been strolling around Shenzen for the last 2 weeks. By my estimation, roughly 50%-70% of cars on the road are already EVs. 100% of my Didi (China's Uber) rides have been EVs. I could be wrong but Shenzen might have banned new ICE cars already.

I went into a mall in Shenzen and noticed that Huawei had a store and they made electric cars.[0] This was a shock to me because I always thought that Huawei was a phone and networking company. I was impressed with the thoughtfulness of the interior and the build quality of the Huawei cars. The build quality felt better than Teslas.

The shock factor is that a phone/networking company is capable of pushing out decent quality EVs already. It seems like there is a huge build up of EV talent here along with an unmatched supply chain to mass manufacture EV cars.

So while Tesla is struggling to mass produce the cybertruck, China doesn't seem like it's having any issues mass producing EVs. Heck, US media made me think that mass manufacturing EVs is as hard as building the large hadron collider. But in China, every random company and grandma seem to be designing and producing EVs.

PS. It's not just Shenzen. I also went to more rural places in Guangdong and there were still around 20-30% EVs on the road. Guangzhou, another Tier 1 city next to Shenzen was probably around 30 - 40% EVs by my estimation.

[0]It seems like Huawei makes the platform of the car I saw (Aito M7) but the brand of the car is Aito.
> I feel sorry for any artists on Universal. Not having their songs on TikTok is a death sentence for their career.

This is a little hyperbolic, mate. I don’t think the Rolling Stones or Taylor Swift are sweating TikTok.
It is explicitly marketed for personal sites though and not limited to users in Montenegro (since 2008): https://domain.me/

There's the usual second level domains .co.me, .net.me, .org.me, .gov.me etc. reserved for actual Montenegrin entities.
Capitalism is a game where the goal is to get out of the game. With enough money the rules of capitalism no longer apply.

This is touched on in the article. In fact a fintech startup Ingo Money is trying this.

> And then there’s one decision which I just love aesthetically: if you’re willing to wait ten days, Ingo will discount your fee straight to zero. Why ten days? It is past the window where fraud discovery will result in the funds being clawed back plus (ahem) a bit of annoyance tacked on as a product decision.
Wordy? Self-important? That’s a lot of writing online these days.
I really want to use Orgmode (or maybe something like Neorg/Vimviki for vim), but the biggest issue with all of those things is that somehow, there still isn't a proper mobile app for any of them. No, I don't want a simple TODO app that uses Orgmode under the hood. I want an actual app for Orgmode, something which works like Obsidian or Logseq. (In fact, Logseq supports orgmode, but that support is very limited and sometimes incompatible with actual Orgmode)

I don't understand how there are so many passionate users of Orgmode yet apparently not a single one of them is a mobile developer who sometimes takes notes on their phone.
I do think that people underestimate the dangers of prolonged stress.

My hypothesis is that stress is the real killed. This might be survivorship bias, but I often see people that are above average old, smoking. That's why I think that perhaps the reduction of stress that smoking provides, could be more beneficial than the negative side. We do know that nicotine does have a neuroprotective effect and smoking does include a specific way of breathing.

I'm not saying smoking is good or that anyone should smoke. But I do think it's worth investigating.

I personally try to avoid stress whenever possible, of course, within reason.

Do you think it's plausible the hardware will ever be good enough?

People aren't really that happy wearing even vision eyeglasses, and I don't see any realistic chance we will ever be able to have something with the capabilities of the Vision Pro in a form factor as small and light as eyeglasses.
I’d roll back a bit on meat. It can be very fatty, particularly red meat. And it does significantly raise risks of various diseases, including cancer. If you’re going to eat it, I’d be very selective about the types and sources you consume.

Which is more likely:

Receiving a fake cashier’s check, or the opposing party hacking into your bank and showing a transaction that will disappear?

Regardless of how unlikely the fake cashier’s check is, a fraudulent electrinic money transfer is still more unlikely. And the electronic transfer is cheaper (free). And less work for everyone.
Even Firefox will in general not protect you I believe.

I showed my mom how she can use 'web.whatsapp.com' to use Whatsapp more easily (in order to share screenshots or links with others).

After logging in, a notification about Whatsapp having been installed from the app store popped up after a few seconds. And indeed, the Desktop app had been installed, without any user interaction whatsoever.

I am not even sure how this was initiated, but I believe DoH being disabled by default probably has to do with it.

Edit: Like a lot of comments have suggested, I most likely remember this wrong. I tried to reproduce this (after "forgetting about" whatsapp.com in Firefox and uninstalling the app) and was unable to. I did encounter three separate "install the app" buttons, all of which however yielded an additional installation prompt from the app store.

Apologies.

FWIW, according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web... Firefox does not support PWAs without an extension, so that wasn't it either.

68000 is, in many ways, the pinnacle of assembler for programming, but RISC-V is pretty fun, too. I hope RISC-V tempts a few more people to try asm programming (again).
agreed, also, what is with all these articles written/submitted in favor of Chinese EVs in US? do they not know we are currently fighting an indirect war with China, with China supplying Russia's invasion against Europe being supplied by US? do they not know China is basically the backer for Houthi, Iran, North Korea, and Russia?

A single article that doesn't portray China negatively in the US media and people are going crazy.
The problem is that it rarely really ends. That's human nature, we always want more. People get rich and they want to be richer.
The fact that a red ball was drawn is new information that suggests there is a higher chance (however slight) that there are actually more red balls in the urn than green balls. Therefore the next ball is likely to be red.
> I guess TT could and should negotiate to pay on the % of the time the song is listened. E.g. if a recording lasts 300 seconds, 10 views lasting 30 seconds should pay the entire royalty as in Spotify/Youtube.

This doesn’t work because publishers end up creating versions that are scaled to increase profits.

Can you flesh out how what is effectively out in the open is protected by 4A? We have en mass traded privacy for convenience and saving a few bucks. We've literally sold our privacy souls.

If you put your gun collection on your front yard, would a warrant be necessary? Well, our dirty laundry is hanging in the front yard, along with the rest of our personal data yard sale.

That said, I know there's a book dedicated to 1A, if there's similar for 4A I be interested.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_for_the_Thought_That...

p.s. I should clarify, I'm pro-privacy. But if we're going to give ourselves away as we do, it's not clear to me how 4A protects that.
It launched TikTok Music last year in select countries as a rival to Spotify and Apple Music.

Universal likely trying to get ahead of TikTok becoming a full music platform.
It looks like MS response to completely missing the boat of the early web 1.0 and 2.0 development is to go all in trying to be less trustworthy then Meta, Google, tiktok, apple and amazon combined by ignoring all pretense to respecting any privacy standards.

Individually the changes might look like things other SaaS vendors might do but combined it's clear that MS is the least restrained of the big players in the cloud/SaaS market.

> don't involve spending an appreciable fraction of your day shopping.

if you're concerned about how your time is spent, i think you're missing a fundamental piece of the puzzle: how much time you spend driving. you could end up saving an enormous amount of time while still going out to shop more if you cut out driving and reduce the scope of your trips.
> often see people that are above average old, smoking.

it's quite a sample bias, because those who you see smoking are likely quite healthy and thus is _able_ to smoke to old age (or won a genetic lottery to be able to withstand smoking).

What you need to count is how many people smoke, and then the % of them dying earlier than those who don't. Otherwise, sample bias will give you the wrong conclusions, esp. if this bias is affirming your own world view.
What a beast! This is deserving of its own blog post and HN thread!
Greed and desire for money will always lead to suffering and moral compromise, no matter what you call it. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle…

> the animal Cat

Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,

An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;

Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses

Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,

A singular development of cat communications

That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection

For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;

You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.

And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,

It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display

Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.

And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,

I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.
Not saying some people shouldn't have the right, but the way the Canadian system works can be horrific. Especially when it comes to people who should be receiving support, aren't receiving support, so end up being encouraged to die instead.

For now, yes.

> When I can apply my experience, I cringe at the choices it comes up with, and find I want to use it as a rough guide rather than a complete answer. But you know who doesn't care about cringy code? Everyone who isn't a developer. Even QA only cares if it passes the tests.

This is a race to the bottom, surely you must understand that?

Are there performance losses because of the Huawei patent situation?
But the dust bunnies are with cheques. There is no bounce risk with a bank transfer. There is no identity risk. The money goes or it doesn’t. There is fraud risk, money laundering and terrorism etc. “risk” (airquotes because, HSBC)
But most of the shit it is gone with a bank transfer.

The problem is poor people would need to pay for their bank (as banks need to make money other ways and from the middle class that will be credit cards
and mortgages etc.)
So let's just ignore their "compliance" with third party app stores or their "compliance" for anyone's right to repair.
Might be helpful to think of stress as a response as opposed to a stressor which is an input.

Med school gives you maybe a couple of lectures on nutrition specifically, and it's mentioned as a major risk factor when discussing many diseases. A doctor should be able to tell you the basics, but if you want detailed info you should really be speaking to a registered dietitian instead.
I think a lot of 'good' habits are often correlated together so it's always suspect when there is a claim that a 'good' habit has some positive health outcome. it could even be worse where the 'good' habits have no effect and the 'good' habits are just a side effect of a 'good' package of genes which is what really produces the positive health outcome.
Better tooling in Linux kernel case is moving everything to https://lore.kernel.org/ and https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/ witch mostly side steps the E-Mail part of the flow.

The amount of people who have the free time to massage `.muttrc` for patch based flow is pretty small. And https://sr.ht/ does not work for the volume that Linux kernel sees.
The statement, although true, is missing nuance. For example, a balanced diet is ambiguous.

Does a balanced diet include fast food? How much ultra-processed food? How many carbs? Do we need to change the above answers with age or when someone is diabetic or has high blood pressure?

Thus, even though almost everyone will agree with the balanced diet statement from the outset, what constitutes a balanced diet will yield a diversity of answers.

Interesting, well we know how that ended with google AMP. It's good that we have people that think like you. Sadly there's always someone else willing to just take the money and implement it. I'm grateful for the community and the hobbyists that build workarounds and alternatives (e.g. searxng), and I contribute where I can. I think that's the only real solution at the moment.

Carpenter v. United States (2018)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpenter_v._United_States

"in Carpenter the court determined that the third-party doctrine could not be extended to historical cell site location information (CSLI)"

Cell towers aren't a free market. Go ahead, try setting one up without involving the government. Cell towers are a massively-regulated sector that has collapsed into a trigopoly. The supreme court recognized this in 2018. Highly-regulated, highly-concentrated telecommunications carriers are, for purposes of the fourth amendment, treated as being part of the government.

Hopefully the same reasoning will be applied to banking (another highly-regulated, highly-concentrated, surveillance industry), but the court hasn't done that yet.
