I wouldn’t say it’s “everything free”. If you purchase outside of FOREX hours you pay 2% on top of every tx. People tend to spend more when they have free time, i.e. on weekends, where the 2% fee applies.

My guess is that Revolut is doing just great in terms of revenue.

> They routed traffic through approximately 34 servers located in nearly 20 countries to obfuscate their true location, used encrypted communication channels within Equifax’s network to blend in with normal network activity

How cool is that. They have been able to grab and correlate netflow from across 20 countries.

What’s the problem in flashing yellow for a longer period of time? Make a delay long enough for a driver to safely react. Otherwise why bother with flashing yellow anyway?

We have such thing in Ukraine(and probably other ex USSR) countries. There’s no surprise red light. You always know when it’s going to come and have enough time to finish a crossing.

> I think being a manager can be mentally exhausting.

I was thinking of management as a way to escape downsides of working as a programmer. For ex.: a responsibility for bugs that I put in product, failure to deliver on time, rush to finish before deadline and all other stuff that burns me out.
