That tap in and out system causes unexpected issues sometimes. Many subway stations in Tokyo have different extrances for different directions that are not connected underground. Once I entered such station for a train…
In Vienna they don't have gates at all or even much indication where gates supposed to be. My first visit I accidentally didn't pay for my ticket - I'm used to ticket machines being near the gates but I couldn't spot…
But isn't that how market supposed to work? Company offers to pay x for the job, can't find anyone for x, so it raises salary to x+y. I would understand logic of bringing people from other countries when there is a…
The cost of accepting cash is not necessarily lower - you have take into account higher theft risk, miscounts and cost of delivering it to the bank. Also there is no incentive for businesses to pass saved fees to…
I think it's true for most businesses with single transaction being big enough - car dealerships, child care, rent. On the other hand many of them are not happy with cash either because processing cash also incur fees…
There are plenty of credit cards in US with 2% cashback on any transaction and no fees if you pay bills on time (usually 20-30 days after statement closes). Some of them even throw in small sign in bonus.
They do confiscate plenty of guns though: https://thehill.com/policy/transportation/3816926-these-us-a...
But then air companies will have to hire more workers to move luggage.
At some point I grew tired of taking my belt off in airports so I bought one with plastic buckle. I still had to take it off in some European airport because their new advanced scanner scans volume instead of metal...
It works fine until Google suddenly decides that your new device is not you and asks you to confirm login from previous device...
It's cat and mouse game, VPN providers have to constantly update their protocol after being blocked by DPI.
Unlikely the case, Telegram is the app that Russian government is most focused on blocking right now, it's almost impossible to use without proxy or VPN. Not saying Durov is perfect but video you linked is about guy who…
Not sure about a film, but maybe TV series? I thought Game of Thrones was not adaptable but then HBO did it.
Does it require specific VPN apps or root? I tried connecting laptop to phone hotspot and even though phone was connected to VPN, laptop wasn't.
I haven't thought of that, makes sense. That likely applies more to higher-end non-chain places and tourist spots with lots of first time visitors. Regular customers will often know what they want.
Is the definition of a good server in this case one who can serve more tables than others in the same amount of time? In most places tips are mandatory and % does not depend much on anything unless someone messed up.…
Not exactly to get enrolled, but in Moscow websites officially advertize 2300000 rub to sign, which is about $25000. Then monthly payment is 190000 rub so for first year it'll be about $50000 which is 5 to 10 times more…
Prigozhin was a very different case, not that many people have their own paramilitary organization to defend them. Only other such person I can think of is someone like Kadyrov.
This aircraft was trying to land so it likely had much lower altitude and speed than usual.
In the previous active phase of war in Syria Hezbollah was one of the main Assad supporters that provided manpower. They are extremely weakened right now, so in a way rebels can thank Israel for indirect help.
Not sure if people who prefer to use cash will consider that an adequate substitute.
That's true for online stores but not necessarily offline, where it's hard to compare prices and it's much more convenient to go to store nearby even if they charge 10% more unless you're buying something expensive.
Processing cash might cost retailers even more than cards (miscalculations, keeping change, counterfeit bills, cash collection every day) unless it allows them to evade taxes.
Or since prices are set up by retailers, they'll get extra 3% profit.
There is a network but in my experience it's not the most reliable and with no accountability. I tried to use it twice so far but experience was not too good. First time bus was just cancelled with no explanation (my…
