I live in Australia and most people I know would disagree with that statement. Depends on your social circles.

I had a relationship with my Chase banker but my business account was still frozen without notice. To restore access I needed to physically fly to the US and prove my identity again.
To minimize this risk in future I opened accounts with multiple banks and split my transactions between them.

I had a somewhat similar experience with Chase - account locked without notice, wouldn't tell me what was wrong, couldn't get paid by clients. The only way I was able to solve the problem was physically flying to the US and proving my identity (again) in person.
Fortunately my credit card was through a different bank so didn't lose access to third party services.

hi, I am the author of the original library, which uses the LGPL license. My reason for using LGPL was so people would be obligated to share their modifications, so I would expect this is not compatible with MIT.
rbp | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: As a freelancer, how do you ensure clients pay?
I am owed over $1000 by some companies in US and UK for freelance work. Over 6 months ago now.
What do you suggest? Forget about it? Debt collection? Contact spouse via Facebook?!

wow - no new features in the last 2 years. web2py seems to get a new feature every week even though they promise backwards compatibility.
