The fees for those are still often comparatively lower to the US rates posted above. Credit cards are also not popular here, so while I do own one, I suspect average % of a merchant still remains low. Amex also offers pretty good rates to l

I can assure you that south east asians also still have cards, despite not making most of their payments with it. Not all ATMs support withdrawing with just a QR code from all banks, for one. There are benefits to non-QR based payment syste

We do actually. The German Girocards were, until Maestro ceased to exist, often co-issued as Maestro + Girocard, and global acceptance was pretty good under the Mastercard network. There are examples of other co-branded national payment sys

The payment processing rates offered vary by country. It rarely goes above 1% in Germany unless you're really not shopping around or are really low volume. A % of that also goes to the issuing bank*, not to MC/Visa, so I suspect t

fwiw: Discover technically goes through amex network in EU, and amex acceptance varies from pretty good (e.g. germany) to pretty awful. Completely incomparable to visa and mc acceptance ofc.

Where I live we have labor rights and if your job is delivering mail and you're given a horse for it, you'd only be expected to deliver as much mail as you can in your contractual work time, which is then limited by the legal limi

Strictly speaking, unless you do destructive actions, it's not stealing, but instead unauthorized access. If I walk into your house, take a picture of your financial documents, that's not theft. That's still (potentially:) br

Had a similar experience with a VP recently... not >3 levels up, but still. "I could visibly tell he was upset he even had to talk to me." feels close to home. I made time during a family emergency, and attended a call on US we

I think it was a number of reasons, covid was one of them. - Congress on years where there's cccamp tends to be planned by people who are understandably more exhausted. 37c3 and cccamp23 were on same year and 37c3 slogan was appropriat

Other way around: Easier tickets is an incentive for volunteers, as a bit of a payment in kind. It helps people known to volunteer come back, and it encourages them to keep volunteering year after year. You need to work, honestly, ridiculou

I'm a paying, full member of muccc (munich) and ccchh (hamburg), and neither expect you to help with assembly if you get tickets thru them.

These sessions would help few imo. It'd eat into people's congress time (few arrive before the event due to christmas), making it less appealing. Many also prepare their slides and talk last minute. Not a whole lot that can be don

It's a balance. Congress aims to be accessible ticket cost-wise to all. Professional interpreters cost a lot of money, and as such it's done by volunteers. There's little to be done while maintaining the spirit of the event.

Coming to my first congress (36c3) was special in this regard: Congress was all about talks for me before, but I only went to 2 talks. Last year I went to none. This year I plan to go to none too. Congress is a gathering ground for likemind

There was only one other congress after the pandemic and that was 37c3 (last year). That one indeed did not sell out and was an outliar. I did go to 36c3 (end of dec 2019, right before pandemic) and the difficulty of buying tickets was the

Friends who booked months earlier still paid a bit of a premium. Much cheaper than now of course, but you should still budget for €150/night or so.

1) Volunteers (who worked 15+ hrs on last congress for free) get two tickets with priority. 2) Hackerspaces get a number of tickets with priority, thru replicating tickets (you can only buy one per day). The amount of replicating tickets gi

It's horrible to use though. Google's suite is somewhat better than MSFT's web one, but it still is weak compared to any established desktop office suite, even libreoffice.

You cannot shut down an S3 bucket with a lambda tho, the mentioned issue above is only solvable by deleting the bucket.

Is there a point in comparing CLI-based, primarily-*nix-userbase editors with a GUI-based primarily-windows-userbase editor?

Npp is a code editor, and you're comparing it to an IDE. Apples and oranges.
