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?

  For example, in the picture below, the red square is at FUR, yellow at RUF, blue at URF, and green at ULB

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?

It is also the background color of the page in question if you are looking for a visual example.

Are you distinguishing the court from the police here? The article states:

"Matthew Lawson, prosecuting, said police were following a "lengthy procedure" to get the information from Facebook itself."
