Worldwide, all 200 countries wherever there is internet.

Regarding regulations we are studying two possible scenarios, comply with all or simply Uberize the model and let people sell money for a fee. For the former we need tons of money, attorneys and on/off ramps with the banking world. For the latter we only would be the messaging transport and people would buy and sell money informally, that's the long tail of the unbanked and informal merchants.

Paysapp, a worldwide payment system that allows you to send money as simple as texting a message like "pay 100 to George", available right now in Whatsapp, Telegram, Keybase, Matrix, Discord, Slack and Twitter, just add the Paysapp bot to your chats and type 'help' to start.

We're at a very early stage and looking for investors.

The WhatsApp Commerce Policy states that businesses may not transact in the sale of real, virtual, or fake currency. Keyword: sale.

Does that discard the creation of remittance apps? That's not selling, that's just sending money between parties. I was thinking on sending money around the world using WhatsApp, is that allowed?

Show me just one ad per page, no scripts, no movement, no tracking and I'll be fine with that.

Software is perfectible, skinware is not. As long as corruptible human beings are in charge, there will be room for fraud.

God's number is zero and no matter what we do that sum will always be above zero. As we are programmed in our DNAs to survive, sustain and multiply, the average outcome will always be positive no matter how many bad apples. If to the contrary, we were programmed to self destroy, we would've been gone long time ago.

> The cardinality of the rationals is the same as the integers.

If you combine N as all possible numerators with N as denominators you get that cardinality of Q = N * N

Also, I don't accept the diagonal argument as proof. Given all possible combinations of numbers, any given number will occur in that set no matter what. If you add special rules of course it falls apart and Cantor's argument is just a special rule.

If we use fruits as an example, taking a diagonal from their letters won't form a fruit either.

"Suppose there is a mapping from the natural numbers onto the decimals."

Infinity is a tricky subject.

There are infinite naturals, fractions and decimals but they are different kinds of infinities. If we define natural positives as N and both positive and negatives as the same infinities N * 2 (with a minus sign), we can safely say that decimals are simply all naturals multiplied by infinity N * N * N * 2 or N ^ 3 * 2 where for every single integer like 0, 1 or 2 there will be infinite decimals after the point prefixed by infinite zeroes too like .1 .01 .001 .0001 and even if N * 2 or N ^ 3 are equal to infinity (infinity because we can't measure it or at least not know its final boundary) both infinities are different.

And guessable, we're out of hell someday.

I built some warehousing apps in VFP 20 years ago and they're still running fine. Every time I go ship something the owner asks me to prune and reindex the DB and that's it, another year running smooth.

What would it be the most repeating digit and at what position? Just curious.

I've been combing the web for new pics but have found nothing. Anything new?

Apple needs balls. They need to show the world they can innovate where nobody has gone before. An Apple TV with screen and game controllers for $2k would sell like hot cakes. A stackable 'Mac Nano' the size of current Apple TV 4k for under $500. An 'iPhone Y' aimed at the lower end for under $300 so everybody can use Apple Pay, Facetime, etc and get immersed in the Apple ecosystem.

You can't survive in a competitive world with just 10% of the market share since interconnectedness is crucial for the dominance of any platform and that's why you need cheaper macs and phones without losing the appeal of high end products for those who have the money in times of economic duress like the ones to come.

This is perfect for writing compact and portable web apps. I built a basic chrome that runs an index.html page and everything linkable after that and all I have to do is inspect myweb.app file and change whatever html, css or js I want. Simpler impossible. And with a little help from Swift I can have all the power of macOS in my hands.

It is neither a hammer nor a nail, it just works for some specific purposes.
