The EU bank market is weird.

Most comments here don't understand that for some customers, not having to upgrade the mobile OS is a feature, not a bug. You might care about safety etc. These users just don't care - it's another person problem, so they don't want gizmos to enhance "safety" if they are cumbersome.

The intersection of these customers with Coutts typical clients (>500k in liquid funds according to the comments below) may be just as high as the N26 users (let's say, "less privileged") who want the latest mobile OS version and receive OTPs by SMS to protect their precious $100 purchase.

I explicitly wasn't talking about second and third world countries, so your comment is mostly moot. I don't know about you, but I prefer we compete with our peers on quality of life rather than the tiers below. We should strive to be the best, not just better than the worst.

> Such as Turkey? Or Mexico? Why do you think Mexicans escape to the US? Because their life was too easy and they wanted to have more of a challenge?

They come the US because the quality live in the US is superior ... I didn't say it wasn't.

I try not to comment on political matters on HN, but -- have you missed the plethora of scandals, not least of which the benefits scandal (toeslagenaffaire)?

I'll remind you that the very same PM who was responsible for that scandal is still in office, and that his very cabinet tried to get rid of one of the politicians who unearthed the scandal (Omtzigt).

Or how about SyRI, the system used for detecting tax fraud, which was ruled by the judiciary to be in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights?

Exactly this - it's a different bank for different customers with different needs.
There are reasons to use crypto aside from a domestic interbank dollar transfer: trading a digital asset, registering something on a globally shared ledger, international transfers or transfers to non-bank accounts, anonymous cash-like digital transactions, smart contract functionality, to name a few.

Forcing citizens to use a CBDC is straight out of 1984 playbook.

It was a nice read. Thanks for sharing the article on HN. However, I feel the fellowing claim in the article is not backed by any detailed facts/analysis.

What are specifically challenging the vm assumptions?
How is a class with a single rule, that does exactly what it's supposed to, not "semantic?" What do you think "semantic" means, in this context?

Maybe you mean classes organized with a high level of abstraction that have multiple rules and are meant to be related to the document structure in a specific way?

> If an agency overloads […] its ex ante regulator, they simply won’t get permission to do things.

The point the author makes about agencies deliberately overloading the authorisation framework is fair but it cuts both ways. The authorisation becomes a bottleneck.

I don't have the answer but what's worse? Missing threat intel because one of three people couldn't review your warrant, or over-collecting?

Bert clearly phrases this all like a regulator, as if agencies should be stopped, and I guess they've seen enough bad warrants to know what's needed, but I don't see the appreciation for the cost of overregulation.
I remember Android apps some years back that showed an approximate scrollbar, when it knew how many items there were (paragraphs, in the case I’m vaguely recalling—and although all the content was available, it might not have wanted to render it all at once, as it could have tens of thousands of words) but not how tall each was. I think it drew a scrollbar with the assumption that off-screen items would be a certain height, so if you went from a screenful of long paragraphs to a screenful of short paragraphs the scrollbar could be amusingly wonky, considering our usual expectation of spatial scrollbars. In some contexts this itemwise rather than spatial scrollbar can actually be more useful, but whether or no, it’s not a concept the web supports directly, and there will be certain niggles in the result of implementing it.
There is a lot more to image quality than just resolution, and often increasing resolution will hurt sensor performance in other areas like dynamic range, QE, and noise.

The Arri Alexa's Alev III sensor, which has won basically every Best Cinematography Oscar for the last decade, shoots at about 3k resolution (~7MP) yet holds up perfectly fine on huge cinema screens.

Well, not on the same level, but my dad used to have an account with a small bank in our town, and as a business owner he could literally walk in and speak to the owner of the bank within 10 minutes tops. Any issues with his accounts or international payments, there was an employee(usually the same one) looking into it personally.

It was just a lot more personal service than any large bank could ever offer.

I imagine this is exactly the same, just on a bigger scale.
> they can't even be bothered to keep their mobile app up to date

Guessing their clients aren’t banking via mobile apps, their staff having lines to their banker. Most top-tier private banks barely have an online presence. If you want something, you (or your assistant) calls or texts your banker.
You’re not wrong about the sublinearity, though someone maintaining a $20M mansion on 20 acres is going to use many times the energy maintaining it, especially when you consider the materials used for maintenance.

The average person wouldn’t have to organize carpools, though it’d certainly be incentivized - at least at the beginning, I’m assuming most wouldn’t, so not doing that, you’d still be a net recipient of tax money. But part of the whole point is that we can’t continue living exactly the same way, if we don’t want to destroy ourselves, and especially our children.
All the staff you interact with have been to the same handful of British public schools (ie private fee schools) so you never have to talk to someone who is ignorant of precisely your standing in the British class system and they will all speak with comforting RP, follow the cricket, and drop an occasional Latin phrase into the conversation. Banking service is basically as shite as all the rest. [source: I ran a company that for very strange reasons ended up having to use them for business banking services]

This is my primary issue with infinite scrolling. However, I wonder if it’s mostly a problem with today’s web browsers.

Heck—maybe it’s not even browsers, but websites. I’m pretty sure a website could change the URL as you scroll, so if the page is reloaded (or bookmarked, etc) you’re brought back to where you left off. I usually dislike it when websites mess with URLs, but this seems like an excellent use case!
I find it interesting that the Dutch push to change the intelligence law coincides with a similar one currently taking place in my home country of Romania.

I wonder if these are actually part of a more coordinated attempt to tacitly make the (broadly speaking) West more authoritarian and tightly controlled.
My experience with just pretty much all major banks in the UK as a telecom startup has been beyond horrible. No international trade allowed - whatsoever, on any of them. Opening an account is nearly impossible. And those who open... Inbound payments from Brazil? Not allowed. A transfer from UAE? That's a high-risk country - bloody terrorists. Oman? Just forget about it. Exclude all Africa, Middle East and Latin Americas completely from your user base. EU? Well, maybe, if your client is not too far to the East. Slovakia sounds dodgy.

That's all while they are laundering billions of corrupt cash.

Never in my entire life I saw a financial system failing and undermining a fundamental function of the society so much. Seriously, I can't wait for the entire UK banking system to go to hell.

Because ultimately a “law” is nothing other than words on paper that only exist in reality because the government is willing to use force to make it so.

Some people seem to think that people are like computers and “law” is the programming. No, people will continue to mine Bitcoin, or do drugs, or whatever other illegal thing up until the point where the FBI breaks down a door and some people get shot or (best case) thrown behind bars. My opinion is that laws are nothing other than a form of violence. If you support violence against people for running a computer program I don’t know what to say.
Eh, maybe it's incorrect and should be fixed? You have a problem with people pointing out misinformation?
Yeah, people seem to forget that a ton of their favorite celebs didn't start out the way they are today. Most people in the spotlight get distilled into a singular image - the weed-loving country singer, the "hated by many" frontman who most people don't even really care about, the horror writer whose adherence to Maine is a meme at this point. This type of stuff isn't necessarily bad as long as it doesn't completely overtake the character/person. Playing up a part of yourself to become more interesting is a viable marketing strat.

They don’t care about the clients who use the app because their bread and butter clients don’t want to use the app— they want to call or they want to text or they want to email. The uber wealthy clients this bank caters to want white glove service with a “private banker” at their beck and call all hours of the day and night. The people leaving these reviews are probably trust benes whose opinion doesn’t matter to the bank in the slightest.

Depends on who's asking and what they're looking for.

Let's just say that nuance/subtlety is not a high priority of this genre of film. :)
I'm not referring to the actual animals. To clarify what I meant: both Orwell and the ideas we have about civil rights tend to focus too much on the individual human's perspective of seeing rights evolve or the moral and emotional rejection of totalitarianism at an individual scale. It is the systems that are being anthropomorphized. You kind of see this habit unfold in his essays where he talks about pacifists or his disappointment with socialists. This is what makes his work so compelling to read, however, so I don't blame him at all.

Perhaps 1984 itself is amusingly the best example to explain this argument. The main character's travails and the lessons therein are too anthropomorphic, but the initial insight Orwell had that would lead to the book's premise is much more interesting: the idea that nuclear weapons would either favor large authoritarian states or small groups depending on their ease of production.[0]

Maybe anthropomorphically is the wrong word to use here, and I should simply have said thinking of systems vs. thinking of stories. You can see the difference by reading Orwell's theoretical vs. more human scale essays and books, but it's his human scale that is almost exclusively remembered by most people in his case. Although I love that book, Homage to Catalonia is no less a children's story than Animal Farm.

Yeah, but I get this error:

The degree means something (assuming the school is accredited) but the title doesn't. Anybody can call themselves a Software Engineer.

For a very brief moment in time, some jurisdictions fought against the use of the title. In Canada Engineer is a protected title (like CPA) and they tried to hold Software Engineer to the same professional standards as other engineers (civil engineer, mechanical engineer, chemical engineer, etc...). This meant having a degree, working under a Professional Engineer for some period of time, then passing an exam demonstrating expertise and high ethical standards. I don't remember all the details, but I think Microsoft fought this and today Software Engineer doesn't imply anything in Canada.

If Software Engineer were a real profession, then you could be sued for malpractice and lose your ability to work in the field. It would also mean you have real power to push back against employers asking you to do illegal or unethical things. You would have personal liability and wouldn't be able to claim you were just following orders.

Key EU Policymakers Want Netflix to Pay More for Infrastructure
There is a content blocking setting in ios now for sms.
Again, the policies are not the problem. It's deciding what falls under the policy, and where the "boundary of appropriateness" is.

One website blocked here in Katy ISD is The Trevor Project, which is a suicide prevention support site for LGBTQ youth.

I strongly encourage you to visit this site for 2 minutes and imagine having to explain what policy this site violates.

https://www.thetrevorproject.org/

This is a small group of busybodies trying to declare that their "boundary of appropriateness" should apply to all students. That's just a pleasant form of thoughtcrime.

A simple solution would be a third category between "appropriate" and "inappropriate " - call it "borderline" - and have an opt in policy for children for these books.

Letting each parent decide for their own child what is appropriate is fine.

What's happening here is not.

> What unique services does a bank like this offer it’s clients?

No clue about Coutt’s. But for a top-tier private bank, you have someone you can contact 24/7 (if not them personally, someone you know on their team) to help you. You can effortlessly escalate to the bank’s senior leadership when problems arise.

As a result, having cash overnighted in the event of a lost wallet, cabs paid for over the phone on the firm’s account, or international wires processed instantly and without fees happen. (Also, Formula 1 tickets and access to the firm’s Parterre box at the Met, as well as, for the up and coming, introductions to the bank’s other clients.)
I get stuck and ask for help from a more experienced team member all the time. Is that failing?

I don’t think I’ve ever declared defeat on a ticket, but I’ve gotten significant help many times.
> misses the point

The point is for these materials to be widely available. Is there a "banned" book that isn't available on the internet for free? No.
Really? I found that in the 90s people had stiflingly homogenous viewpoints. Most people were spoon-fed the same highly packaged narrative from the big 3 broadcasters.
I would say the former is a lot worse than the latter.
It was 21 years ago. The figure on the website now is £1M.

I think the difference is that refinement is when the core aspect improves through effort and in Flanderization the core stagnates or degrades through lazyness.
Why would this be an expectation? I experience only very modest benefits from my employer increasing revenue/employee and in some cases this is achieved through actions that explicitly harm me. The point of a union is to advocate for its members, not to make a corporation grow.

> This is absolute nonsense. Bitwarden has worked absolutely perfectly for me until now, their clients work just fine and it's the password manager I always suggest to people around me.

Same for me.

>I suspect that in case of a complete outage or while not connected to the internet the client will work just fine, but on this instance something got messed up on the autentication/authorization side, so your client tried to authenticate to their server to sync up/do whatever it needs, since the server was not down but experiencing problems it received an error and logged you out.

If you're familiar with Bitwarden you're aware there is a Vault lock. When the laptop started and FF was launched, the extension got greyed out immediately. This means there's some sort of preflight init right after browser starts.

This behavior is not documented anywhere on their website in the troubleshooting section. And that was my first attempt to figure out the cause. Next thing was to reinstall the application and check if the problem goes away. And only after that the email to support was dispatched. So, enough effort was put before contacting BW staff. The error message is misleading[0]. So I went on to support forum[1] to learn this problem is recurring. And while I was typing my message, I have seen several messages deleted by the staff. Same happened with mine.

Given all that, where is my fault exactly?

>What you're describing here looks like nothing more than an outage, a thing that literally everyone and their dog experiences, from the non-profit like us to AWS, Microsoft, Google and Cloudflare.

It's an outage that indicated that you can loose access to BW Vault anytime they have an outage, means you can loose offline access even if the docs say otherwise[2]. To me it's false advertising at best given the iPhone's vault was in locked state as well but did not show any operational errors. Current BW users got aware of the incident and can draw conclusions and mitigate risks. I'm speaking for my experience and it's avoid at all costs now.

How many items before/after should load? These arise solely because people chose to reinvent a browser -in-the-browser. With pagination we dont have these issues, the link points to a specific results page, uniquely.
