    You still have Python-capable processors for embedded systems if you can't afford to learn C.

    There you go. This. C is for the clever people. We leave the rest of the mediocre languages to the masses.

    Why, very relevant! I use the C. word almost daily!

  4. Re: an industry not exactly known for speed on Big Banks Will Vie For Your Attention With Cardless ATMs and VR · · Score: 2

    For the countries I've experienced, France is very slow (2-3 days) whilst the UK is 2 hours (usually instant) -- the regulator imposed it with fines if the payments are transferred late.

    Enough public pressure on your representatives might do the trick...

    Where is the limit?

    Banks' Compliance departments require the first three (SEC rules) at work -- including work mobile phone. I drew the line for you.
    By the way, false (im)personation can be qualified as a felony is some states in the US.

    It uses the phone's scanning in some instances, so it's enough for your phone to scan for a new Wifi to be tracked (unless you're using an iPhone where your MAC is randomised...)

  17. Re:Or, just don't get married. on Statisticians Uncover What Makes For a Stable Marriage · · Score: 1

    Indeed, tax on inheritance is quite high around here. Writing a will only changes the shares that will be inherited. The tax is still relevant. Unless you were married, then it's tax-free.

    Direct line inheritance (direct descendants or ascendants) goes from 5% through to 45% brackets in 10% increments, any non-direct-line will be between 50 and 60% tax. (I'm not saying I support this, IMO when parents already paid tax on their income, whatever's left should go 100% to their kids, just showing how being married can be of use).

  18. Re:Baloney? on Accessing One's Own Metadata · · Score: 1

    But hang on, I thought people in the US paid to receive calls on cells? Does that mean you pay, but can't get a detailed billing of what you're paying for?

  19. Re:Or, just don't get married. on Statisticians Uncover What Makes For a Stable Marriage · · Score: 1

    In France, it's an important piece of paper for inheritance. You wouldn't inherit of their share of your house if your partner died, you'd have to buy out the inheritor's share in a family home (your children, if any, or your partner's parents). You also put your taxes into one single pot, which can help using the full lower tax brackets if one of the spouses is earning less.

    How is that post trolling? Even the highest-end Tesla is less than $1300/month. I can afford that along with a $1000/month mortgage with only a $80,000/year salary and that salary does not put me in the top 1% by any stretch.

    Maybe not in the US, but how about Worldwide?
