I thought it was common knowledge at this point that there is this risk using PayPal and it was generally not recommended for anything but hobby use. PayPal has been seen using several jurisdictions, eg. Luxembourg, France, Germany. When ma

This is interesting. So Oracle holding around 52000 patents pays around 23.000.000 USD a year in maintenance?

I can relate to this. I think this is a question on what you want to pursue. I want to say choose carefully, but to be honest, it doesn't matter that much. the important thing is just that you pursue something. if technical challenge i

You trust that your spending habits are not shared with malicious actors. You trust that the government does use your data maliciously. You trust there is a fair dispute process, etc. There are plenty of countries where I would not dare to

For you last point regarding national level outages: I am quite sure that trains companies would instantiate emergency systems in that case – maybe just by letting people travel for free. Such an event is also not expected to last for long.

I am curious, what do you mean with US-style capitalism? Denmark, and EU by extension, is far from perfect. But I do see less oligarchy-leaning tendencies in the EU vs. the US. and I don't see that this is currently changing, quite the

This is usually the go-to arguments for cash, though I think it is not the right ones. The right argument is privacy. These things can be handled easily: In case of an emergency you can just revert to writing credit notes to each other, whi

it is dangerous to assume that the US culture is the default culture. social trust is not a new thing in Scandinavia. it has been a part of the society for centuries. Denmark is arguably also more capitalistic than the US. the median wealth

yep, especially because a lot of people use debit cards that only work when online. and yes, even on small markets merchants charge with a handheld terminal.

In that case, why should the commit history be the place to go? Commit histories are extremely exclusive – everybody not a part of the programming process will be locked out of that information. That is not fair. Regardless, what you descri

None of these, the granularity of the changes are just smaller. Yes, you could argue that we should go with preview envs and only merge larger changes into main. But then again, this adds considerable complexity to the infrastructure – some

On my work I make 1-15 commits a day. If I have to spend thought cycles on the commit message, that is time that goes from other productive endeavours. I think, as the original commenter also wrote, this might be worth it in much slower pac

The easiest way would probably be ro get a Revolut/Wise account and charge it from the account that can go in overdraft. But I agree, the traditional banks have had a hard time getting up to speed while new banks seems to see it as a w

My main question is about narrative. Many people identify themselves and are driven by narratives. In McDonalds you can say that you feed busy people on the go. Provide the framework for a stressed stressed family who needs an out for an ev

It definitely seems like there are some bad policy going on here. I would recommend lobbying to have it changed – None of these things can happen in EU countries, so it is not technically given that it has to work like that.

I reckon the situation would be, eg., a waiter taking a check on a card. First: this situation does not happen in EU. Alle restaurants have connected handheld devices. But when an EU citizen go to the US and pays? I reckon that the restaura

In most EU banks a line of credit is something you apply for. Cards are usually also attached directly to the account. Banks in Denmark are obligated to extend a basic account to all customers and usually do it with a debit card. Ie. no off

Revolut is an example of one of these banks – However, they probably do not cash checks.
