I have this system at home and it’s great. Similar climate to Paris and never a problem.

Oh yeah I agree 100%, this whole thing is ridiculous and shows wells Fargo don’t trust their employees and have to resort to this kind of bullshit.
I’m just saying it’s possible that these employees were fired merely for using this mouse moving software, not because they weren’t getting much work done.
The article doesn’t say the fired employees were doing this all the time. They could have used them for an hour here and there while they were out running an errand. Very difficult to spot that on any work review.
That shows because this article (even the title) tells you France will have parliamentary elections, not presidential. Macron will remain president regardless of the outcome.
Where I’m from credit cards aren’t really a thing (they exist obviously but I think people mainly use them when on holiday elsewhere or when buying flights or something since often the card will have some sort of insurance).
Anyway, I was wondering what you use/used your credit card for to get so much debt? Not shaming you in the slightest, just curious since I don’t even own a credit card. And what is the interest on it? Do you pay interest every month? What happens if you can’t pay?
Just curious about the logistics of cc debt. I hear it from stories from the US all the same but don’t understand how it really works.

Better late than never, right?
Gast pleur echt heel hard op met zulke comments. Op wie wil je dan dat Amerikanen gaan stemmen? Je krijgt maar twee opties. Dan maar de minst slechte. Als we in Nederland zouden moeten kiezen tussen D66 en PVV dan toch veel liever D66?
So yeah “things” are shittier, because nowadays we have the ability to live in a nearly post-scarcity society but we just don’t wanna.
Humankind could have been living in blissful peace for centuries. We’ve always had the ability to not kill each other or fight for resources. But many people, then and now, don’t want that.
The way civilizations/empires/countries have operated has largely been competitive. It’s naive to think we’ll all just come together and solve these very complicated problems.
Saying that people are stupid or racist… I don’t think that barely has anything to do with what prevents all major countries of the world to work together to combat things like disease, climate change, inequality, etc.
How do you define “things”?
On a global scale and on average, life for humans is getting significantly better than, say, a century ago. The number of people dying from preventable diseases, war, natural disasters has been steadily going down for a while now.
Of course there are many more people on earth than there were 100 years ago, so accumulatively there is a lot more suffering now.
Also, the lives of individual people, the state of certain countries and areas are certainly getting worse.
As for non-human animals… For most of them the world is getting increasingly less habitable and for those who are raised in an industrial setting for human consumption, living conditions are largely atrocious.
I think your question is too broad for a single answer. But you might be interested in this now 17 year old (!) TED talk by the late Hans Rosling, which at least partially answers your question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVimVzgtD6w
I used ‘reader mode’, or whatever it’s called, on Firefox and that worked well.
I live in the Netherlands and I buy fresh produce four or five times a week. Freshness wise it depends on the fruit or vegetable. I wouldn’t say most things only last two days but it’s not like it’s gonna last ages, especially after it’s been opened/started.
It is probably a politically popular move in South Africa and especially considering the many problems South Africa is facing I understand your skepticism. However, it also makes historical sense SA does this.
Israel was one of the very few countries that continued its relationship with South Africa during apartheid. Israel would buy raw materials and South Africa weapons as well as technologies like nuclear. It’s the reason why South Africa actually had nuclear weapons for a while and still have nuclear energy (pretty sure still the only African country). Israel also helped them make petrol for vehicles out of coal, which sounds insane but was a way to seal with the sanctions against South Africa that prevented them from importing oil. The apartheid regime undoubtedly lasted longer because of Israel, and South Africans haven’t forgotten this.
The support for Palestine is widespread in South Africa because of this as well as the parallels between the apartheid regime and the Israeli government.
So yeah, it makes political sense for SA to take Israel to court like this, but I honestly think a big reason for it is historical and showing genuine support for Palestine.
Physical buttons in cars
My induction hob, my extractor fan, a light above the countertop… All of these things just in my kitchen don’t have physical buttons and I hate it. Physical buttons are so easy to use and in so many ways superior to these “touch” buttons.

I heard about this from a podcast called The Missing Cryptoqueen from the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p07nkd84
In a way it’s a classic ponzi scheme so in that sense it’s not that novel. But this Dr. Ruja, as she was known by people who “bought” OneCoin, sold herself and OneCoin super well and took full advantage of the crypto craze. The scale and then disappearance are crazy.
Maybe this is in the article but I think the leading theory is that she’s in the UAE or Qatar or something. I assume she can’t really travel but she can just live like an actual queen over there and those governments won’t care about where he money came from.
