LeetCode I assume. Similar to Exercism etc

That's exactly it's purpose though. If you only want a loan you would be raising debt (i.e. corporate bonds) rather than selling equity.

I hope you are right, that would be fantastic! So long and thanks for nothing, Touchbar!

FYI financial advisers having a fiduciary duty to their clients is standard in most of the western world EXCEPT America.

KeePass. It's on every platform and is free.

OP is saying it’s a systemic issue spanning multiple industries, hence the article focusing on Google alone does somewhat feel like a hit piece.

I completely agree with your goal definition of convergence. The ability to have one device for all your computing needs. I don't expect to be able to do everything on a 5-6" phone screen, but I should be able to connect my phone to a monitor (or dock) and be able to do everything. The closest thing to this on the market is Samsung DeX but it's still incredibly limited.

Modern society would likely not work if everyone had a job they enjoyed. Are there really that many people genuinely interested in sewage, fast food, tax, etc.

I think where he said "see above" he was indicating he had no desire to go into finance due to "the workplace, the people, the mission"

ING has ATMs? I don't think I've ever seen one, and thought it was partially why they offered to waive ATM fees for using our bank ATMs.

This is not exhaustive but it is what comes to mind.

* Paper still required for most proof of identity/address etc. Particularly annoying almost all providers are pushing customers to move to online statements but then opening any new accounts still require paper

* Wet signatures still considered king/stronger than other forms of identification. This has caused me issues as I barely ever need to sign and hence my signature is never consistent!

* Took 5 weeks to open an everyday account upon arrival. Seems pretty standard for all ex pats I've talked to. If you are a UK local maybe you've never experienced this?

* Slow to list pending transactions although based on other posts here I may be an outlier in this experience. I assume the new digital banks (Monzo etc) have improved this significantly

* Having to specify that you want a contactless debit/credit card - do people really not want contactless cards? You can always just not use that function...

* All the banking apps I've seen over here are terrible, unfortunately didn't get to try out any of the new digital banks. I assume CBA is probably still the king for mobile banking capabilities

* When I first arrived there was no Android Pay or Apple Pay, but thankfully that did come in around mid to late 2016

EDIT: I also signed up to use PayM but never came across a single person that I needed to transfer money to/receive from that actually had PayM

Out of curiosity, who is the world leader in banking?

Going from Australia to the UK felt like going back in time 20 odd years.

Is there a decent way to access rclone-crypt encrypted files from an Android or iOS device?

How do you do this? I really need to step up my security game. As an aside - are you encrypting all your cloud storage data, and if so, what tool are you using?

I think the most surprising aspect is their desire to offer a similar referral scheme as Uber.

"Now when one user refers someone else who signs up, both get one share of a randomly selected company from a set that includes Facebook, Apple, RiteAid, Ford, and General Electric."
