Huh, I thought that is what steam refunds are for these days. Do you also finish the game, to decide if you like the games ending?

Regarding 4.), only once which is your account creation which is valid across all discord servers

V-Pay should be accepted by any shop in NL. I am not sure where the issue comes from, as there is no card, specific to the region.

In NL maestro/v-pay cards are accepted 100% of the time, because those cards are issued by all banks there.

The Netherlands, just as most other countries within the EU do not rely much on the AmEx/Visa/Mastercard payment network, but on V-Pay (VISA) or Maestro (Mastercard).

Those are direct debit transactions which cannot be reversed unlike CC transactions. The advantage for shops is, that the costs are lower than for CCs. In general, Europe isn't used to paying ordinary everyday items with a credit card, which is why grocery shops simply don't accept them.

IDA starter sadly is not the same as the free trial version...

It boggles my mind that the paid version is less powerful in some aspect than the free version

with a certain regularity ida pro versions leak, because companies who purchased ida pro get hacked. sometimes these ida pro versions are only available to a select few (the hacking crew, their friends etc.) but sometimes even those versions get leaked.

This may be derailing the core of the intended discussion, but this is again one of those things which is only available in the US, whereas the rest of the world (at least western Europe) is lagging behind. It really makes me wonder why this kind of innovation isn't available here? I can't even get an unlimited pass to the only cinema I frequent.

2.) I think this applies to the Netherlands as well, but there debit-card payments are the de facto standard. Some supermarkets even have tills which only accept debit cards.

While this change is very welcome, a lot of ISPs still ask for , in my opinion, unreasonable amounts of money for relatively small amounts of data ie: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/finnish-like-unlimited-mobile...

What do you think of dotPeek by JetBrains?

My biggest gripe with this bundle is that they are all digital. I'd rather have less books but then in a printed format. I have noticed that I can't concentrate on reading books when they are presented to me on my computer screen. I do have a kindle (1st or 2nd generation) and that device doesn't support PDF well, furthermore it is rather slow. It works fine for regular books though, where I don't have to flip through chapters back and forth often.

"Trump, 70, was accused of conning thousands of students, [...], into paying as much as $35,000 [...]"

Any idea how much money a student on average lost? If that number is close to the 35k, receiving a little less than 5k is an utter travesty.

If only banks had a special login for these one-time transactions. One where the history isn't enabled either. In the Netherlands such a system exists, it's called iDEAL

That really depends.

Some banks dont require a code at all for known contacts. Some banks dont require a code at all for small amounts (under 50). Some banks send you a plain SMS with a one-time-password. Some banks send you an SMS with some additional information (receiver, amount) and a one-time-password. Some banks ask for a one-time-password from a dongle. Some banks ask for a one-time-password by entering a challenge code into your dongle and then the dongle generates the new one-time-password. etc.

What I am trying to say is, there is no real standard. The best method I've come across so far is a device in which you insert your debit card, enter your pin, then scan a QR code on the computerscreen and the device will actually show you the receiving IBAN + amount. After pressing OK you get a challenge that you have to enter on the website.

Also in the Netherlands the banks have an API they can use called iDEAL which does the same as "SOFORT" but instead of having "SOFORT" log in to your account, your actual bank immediately transfers the funds and sends an OK to the vendor.

It makes me really angry that bank security isnt standardized and that good systems like iDEAL dont find international adoption. Luxembourg is trying to develope its own version of iDEAL e.g.

I wonder why they'd opt for Ethereum (which incorporates proof-of-work) instead of using something like Hyperledger Fabric. I mean the banks all know each other already, so they might as well just use a permissioned blockchain, instead of a permissionless.

Big banks like UBS are also on the Hyperledger train [0].

i don't remember robin hood lining his pockets with truckloads of money he made off of the dodgy ads that all these torrent sites serve.

Is there any resource as good, that targets a recent version of OpenCL?

This seems to be a joke article... I quote:

It should be noted though, that the actual branch prediction comes from the CPU, not the compiler.

There is also online.net[1] who are relatively cheap.
