Google Workspace handles this nicely (for $10/month...). I used to use the to-be-deprecated feature but ran into some occasional issues, so I bit the bullet to go to Workspace.

Feels overkill just to achieve the same outcome as we previously had for free, though.

In the EU, debit cards (with EU-capped interchange, and no debt mechanism) are the majority, and there's nothing that points toward that limiting low-income populations' access to banking or card networks.

Can't speak here for entire EU, only France, but opening a bank account or getting a basic debit card requires no minimum proof of income, and typically have no fees associated. No financial barrier to entry for any population segment.

Surprised not to see Secrets of the Temple listed here — a very intimate account of a few years of Volcker's time as chair. Highly recommend.

This company offers some interesting info about the tech: https://broadcastvirtual.com/

And why's that?

Tried to post the original piece's title. Appears HN removes the "Your" from the title upon posting?

Wait the US doesn't have a centralized/shared medical records service? I never realized that! In France, I suppose like in the UK, we have our "Carte Vitale" ("Life/Vital Card"), which is scanned each visit to a doctor, hospital, pharmacy, etc, each updating your personal database nationally.

It also serves as a link to your insurance provider in each location, so reimbursements are automatic.

Gizmodo and Kotaku both announcing UK closures today. The press release script is the same for both of them, both under the guise of being personalized. Really impersonal touch for something affecting the careers of so many.

Mhmm... what?

The /r/Geopolitics subreddit is surprisingly solid!

Political bias is (supposed to be...) moderated to a maximum to foster only useful discussion. It has better days than others, but know I've definitely learned a lot from the discussions over there.
