They're not a bank. None of the FinTechs are. Different culture. They don't understand accounts must always work.

I don't understand the question.

Perhaps if I describe the problem a bit more - I had the app, the app worked, the app was updated, and by being updated, needed a later version of Android (5.0). I was running 4.4, and so could no longer run the app, and as such lost access to my account.

Sweden has been blocking offshore farms on the east side of country, where they would be fighting Russia. West side farms are fine.

USA hardly has the same problem, and the current admin are frankly a bunch of low-brow vicious thugs, who in my view wouldn't know a genuine security problem from a large hole in the ground.

It took me about five years to get Revolut to return to me the funds in an account I could no longer access (Revolut overnight upped the Android requirement for their app, so I could no longer access), where they had no mechanism by which to regain access.

In the end I managed it by issuing a GDPR. Revolut's GDPR staff were able to finally shut the account, and send me the funds, so I got them back.

I tried to vote, by post, as I lived in the EU.

The ballot paper arrived the day before the vote.

It was impossible to return it in time, and indeed, when I checked, my vote had arrived too late and was not counted.

"In it, Thoreau argues that individuals should prioritize their conscience over compliance with unjust laws, asserting that passive submission to government authority enables injustice."

I found 1984 much more bleak and awful than We.

"As only Orwell could, he marked the BBC as he left – almost prissily: ‘I feel that I have been treated with the greatest generosity and allowed very great latitude…on no occasion have I been compelled to say on air anything that I would not say as a private individual.’"

That page does not seem to support the claim that 1984 is about or relates to his time at BBC.

No.

1. News outlets look to sell stories - and so catchy headlines. Real value is optional.

2. I expect you could find a range of contrary views over the same time. I've read good analysis saying economy will just keep going.

3. Try going to Russia and see what you find in the way of half-truths or free speech.

I looked to see if I could find anything asserting 1984 was about propaganda at BBC - nothing.

I found no interviews, no recordings - it seems what survives are his notebooks.

Can you describe the basis for the claim?

I can swap out my mobo for a RISC-V mobo, or ARM.

Get away from Intel and management engine.

Do we need to be skeptical of NIH because of Trump? or they're still okay?

Also, remember - don't take D on its own. Always with magnesium, or you get harmed by it, for all that it also does you good. Body is not built for raw D.

Also also remember, D2 is a vitamin, D3 is a hormone.

If you work full-time, you are in most countries penalized by progressive taxation; you pay say 20% on the first NN thousand, and then it moves to 40% or something more on the rest (or on everything, in some countries).

It seems much better to work three to six months per year, and remain in the lower tax bracket, and then have the rest of the year off.

I think this isn't widely recognized, because it if it were, I'd expect a lot more people to work as contractors, so they could work in this way.

Well, I mean, on a contract I might make 60k GBP gross over six months, and it just sits in the account. The bank seems to get a fair bit of money in its accounts, for it.
