Re:Show HN: The Alphabetical Clock on Monday March 30, 2026 @11:34AM (#47575634)
Reminds me of Lord Vetinari's Clock:

The clock in Lord Vetinari’s anteroom didn’t tick right. Sometimes the tick was just a fraction late, sometimes the tock was early. Occasionally, one or the other didn’t happen at all. This wasn’t really noticeable until you’d been in there for five minutes, by which time small but significant parts of the brain were going crazy.

– Going Postal by Terry Pratchett, page 321

The topic seemed familiar to me ;-)

Re:IMF says central bank digital currencies can replace cash on Monday November 20, 2023 @02:53AM (#38344174)
We are currently at the point where there are very few people whose bank accounts are canceled because a system has detected something unusual. The bank is legally obliged to investigate this, so they close the accounts and absolutely nobody seems to know the exact reason. And now let's make this completely digital. What could possibly happen?!
