> too hard Why would you say that? I wasn’t trying that hard at all. It just seemed that you were implying that they will be significantly cheaper for consumers which is not at all obvious at this point.

You could probably support them more directly over Patreon/etc. so they’d get to keep a much bigger proportion of what you pay

So all the incidents they listed are fake?

I guess it depends on how we define a language. It’s not inconceivable that different languages might have developed from multiple different proto-languages. Or that languages were lost and developed again from some semi-verbal communicatio

I don’t think that we can conclusively say (or even close to that) that other Hominids were incapable of complex (to an extent) language.

by ffhhttt 3y ago
Yeah, it’s generally the inverse from what they are saying. Isolated groups retain the old form of the language for much longer. e.g. Romansh or even Basque.

Not really, they are not even on the same sub-branch of Semitic languages. Aramaic is closer to Hebrew. Aramaic is still spoken by Assyrians and IIRC some other Christian groups in the region though.

Why pick straws though? There are plenty of similarly environmentally harmful and even less useful things that we ignore (like all the excessive nested packaging for some preprocessed food products).

Presumably you have to pay taxes so the standard is probably somewhere in between what the tax authorities acquire and no questions asked. Buy yeah, some banks in the EU might be overzealous and small/medium businesses can often run in

Technically not true. Not all banks support instant payments even if they use SEPA. EU is planning to make their support mandatory but IIRC this only be the case during “business hours”.

by ffhhttt 3y ago
With SEPA you’d pay a fixed <1€ fee or it would be free. Also all at least semi-decent banks offer instant transactions. > So how would I buy a car on a Friday afternoon otherwise? https://www.ecb.europa.eu/paym/i

I don’t care about examples from the US. How is that relevant or at all related to this specific ban?

How? Also, again, how is this specifically harming farmers more than anyone else?

Every single country in the EU has VAT. If you’re yearly revenue is to low (not that likely for commercial farmers) you still have to give out receipts for every sale. Also have you heard about bookeping? It’s also a thing that has existed

Doesn’t this only apply to individual transactions? Only it’s very weird to just assume that this might apply to bank deposits…

by ffhhttt 3y ago
I’m pretty sure the 3000 limit is not at all a huge issue in any of those cases pretty much anywhere in Europe and bank transfers are also cheap and instant. Not that I agree with this ban. I really don’t but focusing on farmers specificall

I’m not sure Romans really did that.

Yeah, it’s a perfectly reasonable view. We just shouldn’t pretend that space exploration would still be a thing if governments couldn’t finance it (which your previous comment sort of implied)
