I believe the last company still manufacturing these is National Audio Company. How they are continuing to do this is quite an effort, audio equipment manufacturers no longer make the equipment necessary to manufacture cassettes. A story I watched said they purchase second hand machines and equipment wherever they can to use and cannibalize for parts. All dead forms of media will find a nostalgia movement. 8-tracks are next.
Hasn't purchasing paper newspapers become somewhat obsolete? I'm sure some significant percentage of a newspapers revenue is still from paper sales, but it's kind of a luxury now. With my local paper, it's $2.50 for a paper copy, it's $3 per week for an online subscription.
Lets draw a distinction between a group of people seeking to form their own social contract, and a group of people seeking to deny another group of people their rights as human beings. "National aspirations must be respected; people may now be dominated and governed only by their own consent. 'Self determination' is not a mere phrase; it is an imperative principle of action." - Woodrow Wilson.
In one sense, my comment was simply to point out that the users of a service could make their own maps and define their own borders as they saw fit. As to the question of what makes a nation a nation, there is of course the argument for national self determination. Side stepping the many shades of what that term means, there is always the basic principal of a group of people saying they wish to form their own government.

Google is beholden to governments where they do business, which is everywhere on the globe. Google does not want to annoy or upset any government. It cannot serve any good purpose for them. If someone wants to define a country called Kurdistan, or Palestine, or Candyland on a map, can't they extend to the users the ability to define such a country? Is it possible for the internet in 2018 to create a service that provides an open map that can be defined as the users as they so choose? Services like Wikipedia suggest it is possible.
Cash? Why would you need your cash? This is a "neo-bank." Nobody needs cash. You give the "neo-bank" your money, and then you experience the simulated bank. If you find yourself in an emergency where you need cash, you just create synergy.
But I like new car smell. I can remember as a kid there was a car wash near my house and one of the interior scent options they'd spray in your car was "New Car Smell."
We the people of Sirius 9 own your pitiful rock satellite. Do not attempt to place a base there. You will be annihilated by a squadron of attack ships if you choose to do so. You have been warned.
Did you hear the one about the guy who got a photo from an automated speed camera? There was a picture of his car and a letter saying he was going 80 mph, and the fine was $200. He took a photo of $200 and mailed it back to them.

Are there really that many computers at large multi-national corporations running the 32 bit NT kernel? Why? Answer in 100,000 words or less.

Does this mean we will have a 30 car pile up on I-95 one day because someone was trying to get the high score on Pole Position?

Turns out the Russian's secret weapon (in the best tradition of Russian engineering) is just a giant magnet.

Shouldn't AMD benefit from this long term?
I have been reading Slashdot for years in the hopes of a real, practical, cutting edge technology with real world applications. FINALLY!
Dem hackers sure can hack them computer systems.
