    I used to be involved in a UK based startup (as a developer) where we would create a bank account for our customers as a part of the product. The AML/KYC process was outsourced. The customer would go through the registration form, prov

    I have a bad habit of mumbling to myself what I am typing, when there is nobody around, sometimes I will even read aloud what I just typed back to make sure it makes sense. If I was to use a Typewriter, you could probably put a recording de
