Anyone know how to figure out how to get AWS to stop billing you for an account you have no access to anymore? It's only about 20 cents a month but it's just annoying to keep accounting for.

There is a saying in French: "good accounts make good friends". Contemporary #accounting is very far from being good, ignoring vital aspects of life in favor of stylized monetary figures. Alternatives are a long but worthwhile road to travel.

In a new piece I explore why and how graphs can be used to express double-entry accounting in a natural way and how to extend also in the direction of consistent economic-network accounts (quadruple-entry).

Visual representation of quadruple-entry accounting (accounting that reconciles balances between entities) using a mathematical graph framework. The accounts of entities are nodes, their exchanges are edges. Transactions happen internally within the perimeter of entities or externally. The nature of directed graphs means that the double-entry balance requirements of standard accounting are satisfied naturally.

Oh, why am I spending my morning looking through the source code of a Chrom(ium) extension that clicks OK buttons repeatedly, you ask?

Because I have about 1,000 transactions from Stripe from our Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal to reconcile in Xero and apparently the galaxy brains at Big Business, Inc., think that making you click a button 1,000 times is just fine, actually.

Fucking capitalists can’t even do capitalism right.
