A $2 fee for each deposit means that for someone with access to smaller amounts of cash at a time, the fee will make up a greater percentage of the total amount deposited than it would for someone with access to larger amounts of cash at a time.
Maybe in that case, they fire up their phone's wifi hotspot and do it that way. Unless your cell service is down, too.
Or unless the shift manager's phone's wifi hotspot ends up connecting to a captive portal operated by the telco that returns an unknown issuer error for all HTTPS requests and redirects all cleartext HTTP requests to a form to pay a surcharge for hotspot access, as the shift manager's cellular plan happens not to include enough (or even any) hotspot data transfer allowance.
The notice on a Federal Reserve Note explicitly includes private debt: "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private." Cashless businesses avoid the legal tender rules not by asserting that they are "private" but by structuring their transactions to avoid creating a "debt" in the first place. They do this by requiring payment in full up front before handing over ownership of goods or performing a service.
Umm, you can stroll down to your local Walmart, Dollar Store, Gas Station and trade your cash for a pre-paid "credit-card" anytime. You can reload that card too.
What is the typical fee to obtain the sort of card you describe, to keep the card active for each month, and to add money? If there is a flat fee to add any amount of money, for example, then someone who has access to only small amounts of cash at a time will have to pay the fee more often, and therefore pay a larger percentage of what is added as fees.
Even can AV1 can halve the bitrate for a given distortion level relative to VP8 and AVC, that just makes Comcast's 1 GB cap behave as a 2 GB cap would have on the old codec. It doesn't eliminate the problem once the household's usage rises to the new cap, such as replacing full HD (1080p) displays with 4K displays and using the hand-me-downs to replace 480i or 720p displays. Nor does it help with legacy streaming receiver appliances that do not include an AV1 decoder in silicon.
I've sure as hell received the calls from "The Microsoft Service Provider" telling me my computer has a virus. Really? How on Earth would I believe that Microsoft has my phone number or that they're calling me to solve a problem?
Let me try to guess a plausible lie: Your ISP has your phone number on file, if only for billing purposes. Your ISP sees a device on your network sending suspicious traffic that matches the signature of the Virus of the Month. Your ISP has contracted to refer its subscribers to a tech support shop in India employing technicians who have passed an MCSA exam, which confers the title Microsoft Certified Professional.
Particularly when there's (as of 17:15 UTC) no alternative source for Slashdot readers whose subscription packages happen not to include The Washington Post.
In any event, the Vita hardly has a monopoly on handheld gaming, with the Nintendo 3DS series being far more popular, and phone / tablet Gam even more so.
Only Apple can sell games for iOS. Only Nintendo can sell games in Nintendo 3DS eShop, and only Nintendo can manufacture Nintendo 3DS Game Cards on publishers' behalf for "Walmart, on Amazon, GameStop, EA.com" to sell.
Until Microsoft solves the problem, let's explore workarounds. From what source are you adjusting the PC's clock itself? I guess you could use Time.gov unless you have an aversion to running gummint scripts in the browser.
I assume posting on Slashdot is still possible from a terminal-based web browser such as w3m or elinks, unless a CAPTCHA on registration prevents that.
the telemetry *should not be in there*. It is slowing things down and invading my privacy.
The alternative to telemetry is Microsoft ceasing to maintain features on which you rely and subsequently removing them because Microsoft can't tell that you or anyone else relies on them.
I have read numerous complaints about how reCAPTCHA's audio version is unintelligible for even humans. I tried it myself once, and I remember finding the version active at that time difficult to understand myself. In addition, because Google hosts reCAPTCHA as a third-party script as opposed to distributing it as a script for installation on a server controlled by the website operator, it turns centralized tracking by Google into a condition for access.
Are you referring to discs or to downloads? I was under the impression that 1. only PlayStation Store could sell downloads, and 2. Sony stopped manufacturing cartridges for its handheld, leaving downloads as the only way to get new games onto PlayStation Vita.

They do not have a 30% royalty like Apple does.
That's still going through Sony. According to help linked from the question mark in the top right corner of the page you linked, this appears to incur more overhead than Apple, even if the overhead is payable to third parties as opposed to Sony or Apple.
1. Unlike on Apple's platform, you need a corporation or LLC to get started: "(please be aware that we do not license sole proprietorships in the US, Japan, Asia Area)" 2. Unlike on Apple's platform, you need mail hosting on your own domain, not iCloud or any other domain open to public registration. 3. Unlike on Apple's platform, you need a static IPv4 address. The registration form does not take an IPv6 address, and ISPs in some cities reportedly decline to provision a static IPv4 address to a home office. (source: Bert64) 4. Nothing in the pages available before registration gives hints about the royalty structure of PlayStation Store: "PlayStation supports various business models. Once registered, you can read our guidelines to better understand our policies and practices." 5. Like on Apple's platform, Sony retains veto power: "we retain the right not to allow publication of any content if we so choose."
Removing annotations will break the concept of Kaizo Trap and other interactive works that use YouTube as a substitute for the deprecated Adobe Flash Player.

[Legal tender] only refers to the US Government.

Once cash is gone then the banks + Apple really will be the ones in charge or your life.
Peak iPhone says otherwise.

Get better jobs
Who's hiring?
Next time invest better or get a job instead of being a welfare liberal.
What should someone who has a full-time job or pair of part-time jobs do when said job or jobs turn out inadequate to pay for food and shelter?
CORRECTION: 1000 GB cap and 2000 GB cap respectively.
It's Xfinity Mobile that has the harsher (single digit GB/mo) caps.
Even can AV1 can halve the bitrate for a given distortion level relative to VP8 and AVC, that just makes Comcast's 1 GB cap behave as a 2 GB cap would have on the old codec. It doesn't eliminate the problem once the household's usage rises to the new cap, such as replacing full HD (1080p) displays with 4K displays and using the hand-me-downs to replace 480i or 720p displays.

I don't have any caps, because I'm not some Amerimutt 3rd worlder.
How many refugees from the U.S. broadband regime is your home country willing to absorb?
The "chicken tax" to which President Trump refers in that Tweet is a remnant of retaliation against hysteria in 1960s Europe about factory farming.

There is always the mp3 version of the captcha if you don't have a GUI to display the image.
Does registration on Slashdot have the MP3 version?
Though I have a hard time believing anyone on here hasn't actually used a GUI even if they choose not use one on their personal computers.
Some Slashdot users are blind and for this reason interact with Slashdot through a screen reader.

A solution to calm and clouds may involve storage devices like what Tesla has been prototyping at Hornsdale, South Australia.
It's fucking cold outside where I live right now and I'm paying out the nose to keep my home heated. I'd love me some free or cheap heat.
Found the Northern Hemisphere resident. How do you plan on removing the "free or cheap heat" during meteorological summer (June through August)?
