They do have a requirement to offer basic payment account to all legal EU residents. Even to people who have no legal right to reside in EU, but whose expulsion is impossible. From DIRECTIVE 2014/92/EU CHAPTER IV, Article 16: 2.

Yes, that's sounds like a very reasonable system. I like that it shift burden of law enforcement from banks onto actual law enforcement system with proper checks and balances.

It should not be so much whether it is legal or illegal in the strict sense. The question is whether bank has sufficient evidence to suspect that illegal activity is taking place. So bank should be held liable if they: - do not collect evid

Yes, but when explaining it to more advanced audience you should not use technical vocabulary in a wrong way.

It's extremely unlikely that dispersed oil will detonate. It can deflagrate i.e. burn rapidly in a great fireball.

I would want to see regulations where banks are explicitly forbidden from blocking legal transactions. If it's legal then banks should have no choice but to handle it.

Our bodies are this type of utopia. Some billions years ago individual cells evolved to live in collectives. Then they evolved to form specific castes or as we call them tissues. Cancer is a disease where some cells are loosing their caste

You should read up on ludities or Amish people. Ludities didn't like textile machinery. Amish like approximately 19-centry technology, no electricity etc. In Europe we have severe shortages of track drivers. UK currently has random foo

In many countries you could sponsor PhD student for a year on €9,500. It's just crime in white gloves. Academics are defrauding public money by having anything to do with Nature. Running Arxiv per paper costs somewhere in the order of

As a Polish citizen I want to see post-Brexit UK struggle, so that my government doesn't get any stupid ideas of leaving EU.

The biggest factor is that evolution made me to be a social creature. As a product of that evolution, I was also socialized to be empathic. Notion of consciousness is not necessary to create and explain morality. BTW - We call people who wi

Indeed, it's not chemical, but it is possible nevertheless. Practicality is besides the point. Well, my world view is that everything is conscious, including oxygen I just inhaled and that went to my brain, sugars I ate, bacteria in my

Explain then, what should the difference between you and your screwdriver be to me? Why should I believe you on a word that you are conscious and not believe a smart algorithm?

There are physical processes that can change lead into gold. The real deal gold. Also, there is no reason to believe anything about consciousness. For example, you are not conscious and in my opinion equivalent to a machine. Prove me wrong.

Climate change is no good, and we have to do better, but the past was even worse. Try to imagine near 50% child mortality on a global scale in 1800. That's the past. Today even the poorest regions in Africa have "only" ~15% c

Reduction of global child mortality from near 50% to below 4% is not "talking about how much better the interior is" ... The past was an ongoing disaster worse than any westerner can imagine.

The world is better off today in basically every way than it was 100 years ago, and almost unimaginably better than it was 200 years ago. The worst 10% today do about as well as majority of West was doing back then. And the condition of the

If there was enough rooms I could have rented a tiny room, like a Norwegian prison cell, from a student housing. But there was not enough of these rooms. And they were available only for one year. You had to vacate them after that.

> investors won't be allowed to buy cheap and medium-priced homes and rent them out So, who will be renting cheap and medium-priced homes? There are already extremely severe shortages as exemplified by students camping in tents.

Do I understand correctly that they want to kick out all the students from the cities? When I was studying in Groningen I had to look for places to rent out of the city. Some students were camping in tents in front of the campus. Here is a

Take a bus, tram, metro, try bike - ask your politicians to make them reasonable. Cities should be pedestrians first, public transport and cyclists second, cars third. Certainly something we should aim at in Europe.

The questions are fairly complex, so I could easily see that people better at reading comprehension, and people who generally read more, will answer better. Additionally, the correct answers maybe compromised, since social psychology is one
