This is calculated correctly when you do not look at several other differences. 1) If I use Visa or MasterCard or any other card, I do not have to wait 10 minutes. Not even if I have to enter my PIN code. 2) If there is fraude, there are some ways to get your money back. 3) As a store, unless you are extremely stupid, you will know you get your money when the autorisation went thru 4) There are several ways to use it, but on and off line. 5) If there are issues, you have a place you can go to and ask for help. This will not always be succesfull, depending on what the issue is or who you have contracts with as that will most likely NOT be with MasterCard, Visa or any other, but rather a bank or a credit store or a card payment handler. Alo not talking about the different tyes, like prepaid, debit and creit cards.
I believe it is because they are unwilling to accept people from outside their development team. Be it users or customers. It is a stricly bottom down hiarchy. I have serveral banks because reasons and thus several apps. One bank has the text 'banking' on their app instead of the name of the bank. Would be fun if others where equally stupid. And when you get a reply at all after feedback, it willbe anuce "fuck off".
As the increase is exponential, the moment I am going in is now. Just put all my belongings into it as well as maxed out my cards and took several loans. This is my ticked to become rich.
With my calculations it will reach 150.000USD in two weeks. There is no way I can lose money. Right?
That can be corrected with taxation. E.g if my company asks me to do overtime and they give me double pay, i would still be short, do it is not worth it. Simplidication: First 20 hours standard taxation standard tax. Everything over 100%tax. Now how many are willing to work more? This is exttemely simplified.
That is because uou have guilds, not unions. A guild will protect the job. E.g. a writers guild. A union will protect the people.
Living in Belgium as an adult you can join almost any union. No matter what job you have or even if you have a job. You can join any moment and nobody cares if you are union or not.
We have some thing with pads, not the keurig one and people use their own pads for thhose who do nott like the free coffee from the machine.
Pads and cups are also a way to charge people more for a cheap product. Bit like charging for a fixed IP for a adsl or cable connection that always will have an IP anyway.
Not a lie, unless 850USD is nothing for you. If so, please give it to me.
Also: this would be a bit like security. It is not the only thing he does and it is more an attitude. If you do not buy coffee on the go, you will start to look at other things as well. I see people complain at work that the month is too long for their money, but buy lunch every day instead of making it themselves. Making the thing they buy would easily save them 3Eur (lowballing here) per day. If you complain about money, that could be your internet bill. Add to that the coffee and other stuff you do not nee and it starts to add up.
And all it to to think about it was not buying a coffee.
The real issue with the 10USD for a SSN is that it make it even more obvious that it should be used in ways that it should NOT be used.
Using the SSN as an identifier should be punished; not the leaking of it.
I live in Belgium and we have a national number, yet it would (ok should as some people are idiots) not be used as an identifier by itself anymorze than e.g. a birthday will be. It is the birthday; a seriel of the number on that day and a controlnumber and identifier of your sex. So YYMMDD-XYZ-AB It is great to use if you have already identified the person, but it is NOT to be used to identy a person. For that we have an identity card where you have to present yourself at the cityhall. That card will be used to identify you. If you need to identify somebody, you use that card and https://www.checkdoc.be/CheckD... to verify if the card was not stolen. As soon as your card is stolen, you call the free number and go to the police. That will make the window it can be abused smaller. Yes, abuse will still happen, even with people who try to say their card was stolen.
I tried it and like an idiot I started to ad people I knew or spoke to once. Then I thought: if these people would be real friends, I would not have to look for them. So I dropped the account. Luckily I never used my real name. Drop it, you will only miss the drama.
Same here. In Belgium it is a family holiday, meaning everybody is with relatives. My parents are dead. I have some relatives I do not know on another continent, so the closest is my sister and her kids. Her kids are working in the service industry, so they work. So is her hiusband My sister therefore also works. So I rather work. However...
I normally start at 10:00 till 18:30 with an hour break. On those days they will stop at 16:00 (instead of standard 17:00) So I have to come in at 8:30 and with public transport that means two hours less sleep.
Luckily it is on a weekend this year, so that is good. At least I can sleep in.
This reminds me of a program I used to follow up your online time over dialup. I was with a provider that asked extra money for business hours and a flat fee outside of it. This was on top of the minutes you needed to pay the telecom operator.
Dialup, download Usenet, diconnect, read, answer, dialup, upload answers, disconnect. Wait an hour and repeat. And it was AWESOME.
Remember when we also slaughtered a few million in two big wars (and several smaller ones) and several million with a flue? That was fun as well.
And the rest died a lot younger. The average age was 70 or so. That mans a higher percentage of the jobs became available where people now work till they are 65 or older.
When I travel, I do not use locks. I user zip ties. I know that suitcase locks are useless. I just want to know if they opened it. Unlikely they go to the trouble of finding a similar zipty without wasting time. If they are thieves, they either do not care or take the next to stay unnoticed. If they are the TSA they rather put a note in it that kit has been searched and be carefull they can not be blamed for theft.
Reminds me of how we joked how Internet companies where valued in 1995. You start a company. You make 1.000.000 shares. You sell 1 share for 100USD. BOOM, the company is worth 100.000.000USD.
It is supply and demand. At some point there will be supply but no demand anymore. If nobody is willing or able) to buy it, that will be the top. Well, just below it. However what will happen is that people will buy it who can't afford it. They will take a loan to buy something that can't be sold for the cost of buying + the cost of paying back the loan they took. So they will want to wait before selling till their backers want their loan paid.
I am sure almost everybody knows that this will not last. The hard part is to know where it will get to. Could be that it goes to 100.000 and fals back to 25.000 and stays there. It could happen tomorrow and fall back to 0.
This is tulips all over. Or any other bubble. Kids: do not invest money you are not able and willing to lose.
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 6 year old again.
I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks.
I want to think M&Ms are better than money, because you can eat them.
I want to play kickball during recess and paint with watercolors in art.
I want to lie under a big Oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summers day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple.
I want to know only colors, addition tables and simple nursery rhymes.
I want to think that the world is fair and that everyone in it is honest and good.
Somewhere in my youth...I matured and I learned too much.
I learned of nuclear weapons, war, prejudice, starvation and abused children.
I learned of lies, unhappy marriages, suffering, illness, pain and death.
I learned of a world where men left their families to go and fight for our country, and returned only to end up living on the streets... begging for their next meal.
I learned of a world where children knew how to kill...and did.
I want to be oblivious to the complexity of life and be overly excited by little things once again.
I want to return to the days when reading was fun and music was clean.
I want television to be something I watch for fun, not something I use for escape from the things I should be doing.
I want to live knowing the little things I find exciting will always make me as happy as when I first learned them.
I want to believe that anything is possible.
I want to be naive and thinking that everyone was happy because I was.
I want to walk on the beach and only think of the sand between my toes and the prettiest seashell I could find.
I want to spend my afternoon climbing trees and riding my bike.
Somewhere in my youth...I matured and I learned too much.
I learned of computer crashes of mountains of paperwork.
I learned of depressing news of how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank.
I learned of doctor bills, gossip, illness and loss of loved ones.
I learned of politics, rasicism and discrimination.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs and a kind word.
I want to see the world not as a whole, but rather being aware of only the things that directly concerned me.
I want to be naive enough to think that if I'm happy, so is everyone else.
I want to spend my afternoons climbing trees and riding my bike.
I want to wonder what I'll do when I grow up, and what I'll be.
I want to live simple again.
I want that time back.
I want to be 6 again.
And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause,
it's less than half the amount Antarctica needs to lose every year to maintain equilibrium
Yes, but that will be on top of what already gets away, not instead of. The study you quote was up till 2008, almost 10 years ago and another quote: âoeIf the losses of the Antarctic Peninsula and parts of West Antarctica continue to increase at the same rate theyâ(TM)ve been increasing for the last two decades, the losses will catch up with the long-term gain in East Antarctica in 20 or 30 years -- I donâ(TM)t think there will be enough snowfall increase to offset these losses.â
and
âoeThe good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away,â Zwally said. âoeBut this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for.â
They start with suicide; Next it will be helping people that are depressed or have PTSD. Then it will be people who are unahappy. So where do you draw the line as to when to stop? On the one side they do not allow Russians to advertise for whatever party they want to. On the other hand, I am sure they will take money from companies to influence the peoples behavior of what they buy.
Some quotes from THX 1138 that could be relevant: Thou art a subject of the divine, created in the image of man, by the masses, for the masses.
Female voice (medicine cabinet): If you feel you are not properly sedated, call 348-844 immediately. Failure to do so may result in prosecution for criminal drug evasion.
In Belgium when they ask for it it is implied "or equivalent with work expoerience' except in professions where it is needed by law, like a lawyer or doctor or when it is for a governement job, but then they will ask what is actually relevant.
Yes, there will be some idiots who will ask for it when not officially needed and they will have huge problems finding the right people for the price they are willing to pay. And by that I mean that they will finally pay more and still not get the quality they need.

They probably confused the colors of their flag and thought they where Belgium or are going for the Belgian record of froming a governement.
Doesn't matter, both Belgium and Germany have more than one governement (just like the US).
That can be corrected with taxation. E.g if my company asks me to do overtime and they give me double pay, i would still be short, do it is not worth it. Simplidication:
