Data point of one here, but my experience is different. I used Crédit Coopératif, and they issued me with a password generator fob (like a small calculator in which you stick your Visa chip-card) which the 3D Secure page would ask for a response from.
I suspect it depends on your bank. Back when i used Crédit Agricole, i was indeed forced to do SMS auth, which is inferior.
> And then most junior managers never end up seeing it. Took me a while before I did - I liked my boss, even, but then they left and someone new came in, and the difference was night and day. Being able to come into a new place and figure out what details to focus on and what to not, identify common problem areas, identify people to delegate to and trust, get upper-management support for you when necessary, figure out where you're still uncomfortable and how to get you to start stretching yourself there... it's not stuff I knew I was missing. And I could've gone another decade without knowing it, probably!
Perhaps a silly question, and definitely tangential, but do you have resources / pointers on where to learn about these kinds of skills? Or is that what MBA's are for? (sounds snarky but meant sincerely)
* Actual macros and extensibility (i use mu4e which isn't strictly a console e-mail client, but it's text-based and allows me to Elisp the crap out of any issue i'm having).
For years i used Mutt as an IMAP client, but that was honestly quite a nightmare. Even back in the day at uni with an über fast internet connection it was still just not responsive enough. The day i switched to using OfflineIMAP and a local Maildir it was as if the blinds had been drawn aside and sunshine streamed into my INBOX :).
Having said that, i use mu4e these days, because i've become an Emacs user. With a few tweaks it now scratches my itch very effectively (except of course the HTML-email problem as mentioned elsewhere -- this is especially troublesome at work where they want me to include an HTML-embedded-image-tabled monstrosity with about a page of legalese as a signature).
That is both sexist and ageist. There is nothing about being female, old and/or having reproduced which makes one follow rules to the letter. "Google is training cars to drive like sticklers" is perhaps a more appropriate version.
...in which we learn the real reason you're against UBI—dirty immigrants.
I really fail to see how this can be anything other than an argument for more fair/equal wealth distribution in the world. If most countries had similar schemes, then why would the "good for nothing immigrants" go to supposedly scrounge in the US?
Basically, the argument is that "poor people do stupid stuff" because their "intelligence bandwidth" is being sucked up by worry about where to find the next meal/rental payment/etc. leaving no brainpower for what we well-off and spoilt folk would call "constructive pursuits".
