I am unsure what distinction the linked page is trying to draw between payment for goods/services and debt. The first paragraph seems to unequivocally state that businesses do not need to accept cash (from a Federal law perspective anyway).
There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an
organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services.
Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept
cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.
What if HackerNews instances were easily deployable? Say on par with launching a new blog through WordPress or similar. Do you think that that would by and large provide the tools and interfaces to satisfy what you are looking for?
Is there a properly colorized version of this PDF floating around somewhere? In particular, I'm wondering about this line that lies above a grayscale image:
For example, in the picture below, the red square is at FUR, yellow at RUF, blue at URF, and green at ULB
The article references this URL:

However, that is not accessible without an account and possibly payment for the document. Is this content part of the public domain. If so, can/has it been posted elsewhere?
I would guess it depends on the specific circumstance as well as the insurer. With that said, I'm not the GP (but am based in the US), but in our case the hospital arranged for a visiting nurse to do a check in the next day and it was covered by our insurance.
I'm not familiar with "Blockchain Research Institute", so I'm not sure if your comment is critical of them as an organization or not. I am also wary of the blockchain-is-magic hype train, so I generally agree with your assessment that we aren't prepared to vote online.
While I wasn't surprised by the overall lack of technical details given the medium/audience, I did find it odd that the question of privacy was essentially ignored. Do they have a solution in mind that allows me to validate that my vote is in the ledger without the vote being traceable back to me?
I suspect you are overthinking it, or at least should acknowledge that one needs to take the idea and walk a long, long way!
But, with that said, this work is dependent on having a "source" that the user is using as an input for pose detection. The actual accomplishment must still be performed and recorded, though I suppose this opens the door to the dance equivalent of "lip syncing" even beyond what might be done today with a body double.
It seems confusingly worded, but "real terms" does typically mean that it is adjusted for inflation. Assuming that is the case, it is apples-to-apples even though it is oddly phrased.
I'm not the GP, but for what it's worth I do remap capslock to esc. I mostly use a Kinesis Advantage keyboard where the escape key is one of the chiclet rubber keys, so using vim (at all) really begs for either a remapped esc or brain-retraining to use ctrl-[.
I'm not sure if it's a better or worse choice to remap capslock to ctrl - but it's certainly viable. The old Sun keyboards used to have that layout...
I think the point is that there is same-year tax liability on the $5M value, but there is no guarantee on getting the $5M payout that same year (or ever, for that matter). When you exercise your options, you now hold shares in a private company, which may restrict your ability to realize the payout in various ways.
