The handeling if cash does not stop with the customers ttansaction. Unless you where allowed to tske ot all home, you nneed to count it at the end of your shoft. Somebody has to check that. Then you need to do a bitmore with it, before it is on the bank account.
Card payments do that automatically. I pay almosteveruthing by vard, be it with Pin or wireless. Much faster than cash. I live in Europe where the banking system is in the year 2019.
Just a few months ago, I opened a new bank account in Belgium. It is free. Not sure if I can overdraw it, but I doubt it. I got a card and a card reader for autentication send to me. Been able to use it to withdraw money all over Europe for free.
In Belgium every adult will be able to get a card from its bank. Not a credit, bit a debit card where you can not go below zero on your bank account.
So as long as there is money on the account, they can buy stuff with it. No need for a credit card. Once proven track ncome rises above a certain amount, the could ask to go below zero. Earn even more and they could get a credit card.
Pre-paid cards are an option as well.
All in all, credit cards are the worse option.
So the issue to me is not that they can not get a credit card, but that debit cards (bank cards) are not easily to get.
I am a night dweller living in Belgium. I would love it to be Wintertime all the time.
In the winter it is dark in the morning, no matter what. That one hour in the morning makes no difference. The most issues I have are not the morning. I sleep or I work. I do not care for light or dark.
In the evening is what matters. When I am sipping my beer after work, am I blinded by the siun ir not?
I don't get all Thai s. I learned long ago that the stronger gender the is actually the weaker ine because of the weaknes of the stronger gender for the weaker one.
(This applies, no matter what gender is what. I like Apache helicopters)
Delivering power over USB is a thing for pprtables, so you could have USB 4.0 on each and every device. Perhaps only external power on desktops, servers snd monitors.
But I'd like to point out (yet again) that we don't do feature-based releases, and that "5.0" doesn't mean anything more than that the 4.x numbers started getting big enough that I ran out of fingers and toes.
Just so people understand that this is not something extremely special.
That would give them the knowledge how to make it sound as if it is going to work. Having technical knowledge does not make you a morally better person.
The first thing they will do is start using the bofh excuse script.
In Europe we have SEPA. This means that banking is done on a European basis.
The EU was working on the fact that even while all the paymnents are done by computers, the banks still took several days to process that money.
This money was loaned to them free of interest, so thye could work with it.
So the EU went against the will of the banks to do paymets imidiately. They got as far as doing this between private people inside the country. Then some idiots flew into a few buildings and the US suddenly needed to see what was going on with transactions and the EU gave in.
Obviously the banks where not a demanding party, so they did nothing and relaxed. So now it takes longer for a payment between companies than it is between people.
That said, I can easily transfer money between different countries without a fee, I will have it after 2 or 3 days. The most supid thing is that they pull the plug on the computers during the weekend and holidays.
Often a marketing campain is set up before it is actually send. This means that the moment you request to be taken from the list the excelsheet (or other data output) is already send to whomever is working on the email. This means that the emailing list works with old data all the time. It is not uncommon that we use email lists that are a week old for plenty of marketing campaigns.
With paper the data can be even older between when we make up the list and you receive it in your letterbox. List is send to the printer conmpany. They will have to do their stuff and prints it all in one go (for cost) sending it out might be done in batches, as not to overrun phonelines with questions and can not overlap other mailings we must send to customers by law.
Then there is the post whi tells everybody they deliver the next day and experience show that to be a lie. Delivery times of 4 to 5 working days are not uncommon.
So to take all this into account and to be sure you can give one time period, saying "a month" is normal. The majority of people will be confused if you say "Well, for outgoing phonecalls it is done right away, for SMS it will be done over night, for emails it is foen right away, except for those that are already send out to be processed, that will take a week, letters where the datalist is already send out will still be processed. We also have the legal obligation to send certain information to you that we can not send in any other way."
The payment is done via SEPA (in Europe) or via a credit card company and done via a different process.
So yes, even if we take that privacy serious (due to the GDPR and laws that existed before it) we still have these statements.
Yes, I also understand that you do not care that it woulkd cost a lot of money to go through thousands of envelopes each and every day just to find those one or two letters.
Plenty of people go to Cuba for the effective mediacal treatment, indeed.
I have no experience with the other two countries, but I bet people do not go there, because Mexico is much closer and in Europe Americans feel better at home to go to clinics.
As long as there is no cost for the companies when this happens, we will keep seeing this.
I would propose a 1USD for each account that has been breached. That way small companies pay small amounts and large companies pay large amounts.
The best to give this money to is the NSA. Hear me out. They will have an incentive to breach companies and the companies will have an incentive to make their data secure against attacks of governements world-wide.
That is a win-win situation. The NSA is occumpied with (inderectly) security instead of surveilance. We all get better privacy, because of this.

That is indeed a downside of the system.

Just as of lately, they ask 0.50 EUR per cash withdrawls with non-ING banks. https://www.ing.be/en/retail/d...
There are several banks that are completely free. Some banks will ask a monthly fee of around 3.00 EUR per month.
Weird. In Europe there are plenty of banks that are without fees and where your debit card is free as well.
You might not overdraw your account, but you will still have a free account with a card you can use.
Out if experience, I know this to be the case in at least Spain, Belgium and Germany and the whole SEPA thinks makes transfering money free as well.

Why have somebody whisper it is Putins ear when he can shout it himself or tweet it?
This is not limited to Chinese companies. All companies pperating in Chine falls under Chinese laws that require access to the data.
Huawei is not an exception. Naming them does not add anything.
Delivering power over USB is a thing for pprtables, so you could have USB 4.0 on each and every device. Perhaps only external power on desktops, servers snd monitors.

The keylogger potentially does not show any passwords.
Why does Huawei does not inspire you with trust? I am assuming that this in comparison to other companies.
If that is the case, you know what the d in fud stands for.

In another meeting they decided they needed to have cheaper packaging. That would mean that 50% would increase carbon usage by 150%
That would be on the first few weeks. Later it would be a "fold here" like they used to have in Mad Magazine a gazillion years ago. (80-ies?)
That would give them the knowledge how to make it sound as if it is going to work. Having technical knowledge does not make you a morally better person.

That is because it is two different thing.

Big business are for themselves. Sometimes that means they do what we like, often that means the opposite.
There is also a reason I do not defend companies, they don't defend me.
And from what (big) companies do, there is no doubt they are against us.

I am not trying to hack the account, I am just blocking all users to use their account let's see what happens if the CEO can't get to his emails.
To be fair, if it acxtually IS 2000/01/01 00:00 GMT again, that could indeed cause a problem.

And even if it where in there, it would not mean it would be valid.
