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.

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.

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.

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."

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

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

Can you describe the basis for the claim?

Get away from Intel and management engine.

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.

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.

I'd picked up a contract in the UK and relocated to the client and created a company for the contract.

I then tried to get a business bank account with a normal bank, and failed.

Metro bank took forever and tons of info and then said no.

(I issued a GDPR data access to see if I could find out anything. After a while, they sent me the same letter twice, arriving on the same day, telling me they had performed the data deletion I had requested.)

HSBC seemed to lose the application - it disappeared. It had been challenging to make in the first place, the application process was confused and confusing (and that was in the bank with help). I didn't try again (and there wasn't really time to try again - the client was already having to hold off paying me, which is awkward for them).

I looked at some others, Lloyds and Barclays, and it's been a while so I can't remember why but they didn't pan out.

TransferWise was my final choice.

When the contract was done, I left the UK, so no opportunity to open further bank accounts in UK for the business.

From the first person;

1. TW cannot confirm or deny if standing payments on the account will go through.

2. It is clear I cannot directly or easily produce a suitable document to prove address. The only route I can see is is to contact the accountant, get him to change the trading address with Companyies House (the State registrar), and get that document from him. (I don't normally do this, because digital nomad - I'd be doing it every three months, if I did.)

As it is, I may have a better solution - I have reverted the address to the original address.

Interestingly, this has removed the warning that documentation is needed. I am curious to see what comes next.

From the second person;

1. The message fro TW that "if we don’t hear from you in the next 2 days, we’ll need to refund any money you’ve paid in" in fact means that you will no longer be able to make payments from your account, and any payments you do make will bounce back to you two days afterwards.

It turns out "paid in" means "payments you make to other people".

I would have written "you will not be able to make payments".

I'm not completely convinced about what's actually going on here, because of the strange co-incidence between TW saying "if we don't hear from you in two days" and the Support guy saying "payments come back in two days".

In any event Support here have asserted that payments from the account (to AWS, for example) are expected to stop working as of Sunday evening.

This also means the subject of this post is exactly wrong; it reflects my misunderstanding of TW's meaning.

2. TW cannot confirm or deny if payments into the account will still work.

You defeat them one day, but they're still there, and they keep trying, day after day after day.

I have no opinion about the story - I've not read it, don't know anything about the people involved - but DM is what it is and for non-UK people, want to surface this.

I was looking for a portable external keeb recently, and I looked to Cherry and they simply had nothing which even approximately matched the form factor I needed. I wanted to buy from them, but couldn't.
