Not sure how this is doxing. The person in question made herself a public figure and the journalist tried to verify her claims.

And why label this as some random drama? It is a modern day phenomena where people can easily fake their persona online for personal gains. And having significant number of such people will have an impact (negative) on the society. This is very much on topic with many other discussions on hacker news, such as content moderation on twitter.

In the UK, you can use one of the challenger banks like Starling or Monzo. They not only show you "pretty graphs", but give you spending notifications and keep track of your direct debits, standing orders etc. So I don't see a reason to do this all manually yourself, which can also be error prone.

If talking about the UK, that is not quite correct. Roads in the UK are mainly funded by income tax and council tax. See http://ipayroadtax.com/ for more information.

Re:Reasons not to use Skype (2012) on Saturday January 07, 2017 @06:41AM (#13343591)
I also recommend Wire. I tried multiple alternatives for Skype and Wire was the only one which had good call quality and clients for all major platforms.
