I always wondered, how is the unofficial USD rate set there?
Just day to day or do you have an app or something that the people follow?

Re:Payments down 20% in my SaaS after EU introduced PSD2

I agree, the change needs to be viewed overall. The liability shift is a godsend, it also decreases customer support contacts to verify if the order is fraud or not.
Also, paired with 3DS2's frictionless flow we actually saw a small uptick.

You have to consider as well that the typical down-payment for an apartment is around 40k EUR. So it's incredibly frustrating for those that are looking to save.

What happens if peaceful, civil people think the insurrectionists crashed the system, overthrowed the government and installed Biden?

I'm afraid it's too late, the democrats have won and they don't have such interest.

This is after Twitter banned a large amount of conservative accounts so they are forced to move to Parler.

I wonder when people stopped thinking. By the same argument, should they be allowed to block all black people?

Sadly I tend to believe that a very small minority of people will ever bother to access the documents, the rest will just believe whatever the media will tell them.

This is why we would need an official investigation.

To add to this, lies with easily proven evidence if they wanted to investigate. Eg. Check report on something from a hearing or court document, checked the hearing or the court document itself and it's completely opposite to what the media is reporting.

One of the problems, yes. I've witness too many times where they blatantly lied.

This is my feeling as well, I think it's the difference between a computer scientist and an engineer. You just need to know who you are and what roles you prefer.

We have to be careful with the "unproven" part, it was first approved for medical use in 1955 so it's side effects and safety are well known.
It's "unproven" as a treatment for COVID but pascal's wager would say that there is no harm in taking it.
