Does anyone actually enjoy working in Fintech ?

Yes, I think it's an exiting field where it's possible, thanks to tech, to finally hit some of the big banks and take revenue from them, be it by taking their customers, or their money when they buy you. I think it's one of the most exciting areas in tech, and I love the high regulatory barriers to entry, keeps the idiots away!

Cut and paste from Wikipedia:
There is one member per member state, but members are bound by their oath of office to represent the general interest of the EU as a whole rather than their home state.[3] The Commission President (currently Ursula von der Leyen) is proposed by the European Council[4] (the 27 heads of state) and elected by the European Parliament.[5] The Council of the European Union (informally known as the Council of Ministers) then nominates the other members of the Commission in agreement with the nominated President, and the 27 members as a team are then subject to a vote of approval by the European Parliament.[6] The current Commission is the Von der Leyen Commission, which took office in December 2019, following the European Parliament elections in May of the same year.

There is another section on Council of the European Parliament.

Not sure how you conclude this is undemocratic, I find the US, with voting maps re-drawing, popular votes, electorates and so on to be far more undemocratic, if democracy is assumed to mean that each person under the rule has an equal say.

PSD2 has helped secure online (card-not-present) payments in Europe by forcing all stores to use SCA (3d secure, verified by Visa etc). The additional SCA requirement in card-present transactions that recently came into effect will reduce the amount that can be lost as a result of a stolen or lost card, by forcing pin validation on every 5th transaction.

In the US the merchants are afraid they will loose business if the force SCA, so the only real way is through legislation, because then everyone has to play by the same rules.

If Sweden had won, he would have been extradited to Sweden to stand trial. The US could then try and get him extradited once the process I Sweden had been completed. With him staying in the UK, the US asked for him to be extradited. Seems to me he would have been better off in Sweden, if the goal was to avoid the US.

If you think Trump committed a crime or harmed people, that is what law and courts are for.

... the courts that ends with the supreme court, where Trump appointed a number of judges? The laws that Trump can ignore (pardoning people, including family members and possibly himself)?

If you think Trump was a bad president (I do), then you should have thougjt about that four years earlier.

Yea, regretting a choice is simply not what people do, especially not when it comes to relationships.

If you think banning Trump from speaking will magically make the very roughly 40% of your citizens that gave him power in the first place change sides, you need to get a therapist i give you the strength to face the music.

It might make him stop leading mobs into the Capital or attacking the next presidential inauguration, but I will discuss this with my therapist!

Install the browser extension "I don't care about cookies" so you don't get asked about cookies (it just accepts everything), then install the extension "cookie auto delete" so cookies are deleted when you leave a domain. Best solution to the cookie problems.

Network location should not be an indicator of trust. The idea that a company is able to protect a made up barrier through which people and systems are constantly moving is ridiculous. It is possible to implement zero trust and that's the direction everyone should be heading in.
