No, it really doesn't, besides the fixed investment of buying a cash register. The idea of being forced to hand over a percentage of all my earnings to private company is abominable. I pay taxes to the elected government, not to some b

Wow... depositing more than $1k would trigger AML. That's incredible. In the US it's not uncommon for contractors to pull $10k cash at the end of a week to pay their workers. Some of that may be due to tax evasion or, just as like

It's been 10 years since I lived in Argentina, but at that point having a credit card (not a debit card) was still reserved mostly for the folks in Barrio Norte. Has that changed now, or is it still mostly debit?

Here in the Pacific Northwest, businesses give discounts for cash just because it saves them money. In Portland, we still have a fair number of bars that are cash only. And yeah, liberals here also consider it an invasion of privacy to have

When you say "buying a used car"... do you mean from a dealership, or from a private party? In America, I almost can't imagine buying a used car from an individual without paying them in cash. Indeed, it's one of the few

Can you provide some links? Because I see that Eric Ries has a resume on Wikipedia that mainly highlights his book, "The Lean Startup." I see that he was adjacent to some dot-com-bubble-era startups. I see he has a handsome photo.

I split my push-ups usually between 50 normal ones and 50 "wide" ones to get the pecs. Do I do them correctly? Hah. Probably not half of them. I try to keep myself planked, but of course my stomach slips toward the floor sometimes

I love this DIY method! Sometimes you just know what's best for yourself. I've done something very similar for about 8 years now. Push-ups and crunches (and sometimes burpees). I spent most of my life thin , just because of my lu

That was not very clear from the article, but yeah. Understood. I don't even know wtf "third party accounts" are. Nowhere does it say that they will continue to support :995 access. They should mention that somewhere.

Ah. Thanks. Since I don't have any kind of multiple account setup with Gmail, it really wasn't clear on a first read of the article that it wouldn't apply to all POP access. Sigh of relief...? Sirens going off? I run my own m

FUCK THIS. This is disgusting. I've been using Thunderbird for 10 years as the way I normally download my gmail. I have no interest in using IMAP, I store everything locally. I suppose the idea is that they can make more money if you d

It's the part about chaining them to rocks and letting them freeze to death which I don't like. Someone who takes decent care of their animals would not allow that situation to occur in the first place. How they dispose of the dog

Yeah, tactile stuff could be described as a dark data stream that only animals have access to. I'm talking about nerve endings. You can't get that wealth of data from any mix of sensors. Lidar and accelerometers can't tell co

I like this philosophy. It's interesting to me that the author writes about trying deno, specifically out of curiosity for compiling binaries with it, because that is something that's been specifically tickling the back of my mind

I think the proof is that we're still alive. And 10 seconds later, we're still alive. An astronomically tiny fraction of possible worlds would result in us being alive at all. IMHO, we have total free will, but we can only be cons

So many techniques that made web games good, in terms of smart loading, have been lost or abandoned since the mid-2000s when bandwidth limitations were common, and at the same time "engines" like Away3D and Starling were starting

Wow. This is gorgeous. Chef's kiss. It's been so long since I've seen someone put this much effort into a web-based indie game (or even an app store indie game, actually). I am assuming this is a small team. The concept is re

You have multiple worlds, but in this one your choices and events seem to be deterministic. Meanwhile you make all other possible choices in all other worlds. So zoom out. How did you end up in this world and not one of the others? Why are

Just because something is computational doesn't mean it's deterministic. There are quantum effects and ghosts in the machine. Also, maybe the goal of the computation isn't to generate a deterministic output. Maybe it's j

To me, the article's thesis and frame of reference hinges on one statement: That the writer viewed Oct 7th as a "legible expression of rage." Those who see Hamas as non-representative of the Palestinian people, and certainly
