So your prices are constantly changing? How much do you pay on average for a kW?

That's quite interesting. Prices seem quite cheap compared to what I'm paying right now. Too bad they are not taking new customers.

That's why I asked. Thank you for your detailed explanation.

It doesn't change during they day, it only changes when the government approves price increases. I guess variable means a different thing in the UK. Do you have peak and off-peak prices?

What are the kWh prices in Amsterdam? I'm in London and would need to consume more than 1,700 kw to pay that much (£0.3866 per kWh, £0.3849 standing charge).

Edit: I'm also on a variable contract

The US Census Bureau have been categorising Indians as Asians for more than 20 years. I'm not interested in any racial discussion, just stating how they are classified as.

You are wrong. 'Caucasian' is used to classify white Europeans.

The US Government defines 'Asians' as 'having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.'[0]

Exactly. People like Hal Varian or Susan Athey contributed nothing. That is why all this companies have Chief Economists and hire Econ PhD on a regular basis...

Get a license for what? I don't really understand the relationship between bureaucracy and buying a book... You can buy anything you like from anywhere in the world, pay your duty online, and have it delivered to your door. I did it a couple of times with DHL, Royal Mail, and never had any issues.

UK doesn't have 18% inflation, that is just a projection from Citigroup [0] (if gas prices continue to grow it will probably get there, like the rest of Europe). Inflation is at 10.1%.

I'm not sure why you say 'low salaries'. Adjusted by cost of living, salaries are not that low [1]. Median (removes those salaries from 'money laundering industries') salary in London is almost £39.7k [2]. Adjust that by cost of living, and it is higher than median income in San Francisco or NYC [3].

Infrastructure is miles better than the US. Public transport, while expensive, works quite well. The US has virtually no public transport whatsoever.

Housing and renting is expensive in every major city, it is not a problem exclusive to the UK.

The Elements of Statistical Learning is by Hastie et al, not by Goodfellow. Goodfellow wrote Deep Learning. They are both available for free on their websites.

I know they exist, but they are not the norm. They even call them 'international bank accounts' in most cases (I think HSBC calls it that, or Barclays). Most common bank accounts will require proof of address in the respective country. I don't think it is expected to specify all that in the app description.

I've just checked the description in the Play Store and it says 'Open a full UK bank account'. Maybe that is new, but it is pretty clear.

It is not a simple app, it's a bank. Not sure how you expect to open a UK bank account not living in the UK...
