How do they make any money if most of the transactions don't incur a fee?
The cost of processing any of these transactions infinitesimally small. If they charge 2% of all transactions over 2000 rupees and let's just say there are a billion transactions per month over that limit (a small percentage of the total transactions processed) and they average 3000 rupees, they are making 60 billion rupees per month (nearly 700 million USD/mo). They're doing OK.
We prefer slight amounts of deviation. We like a little imperfection because this gives life to the sounds, and that is attractive to us...
Of course. That's why live performances by people who can actually sing are generally way better than auto-tuned studio recordings. It's also why things like microtonality are played with in a lot of music.
Around here, a single POTS line will run you as much as $400/month.
We had a single POTS line for our alarm system that AT&T went from charging us $40/mo to over $1400/mo in a matter of two years until we convinced our alarm company to switch the alarm system to cellular. Crazy.
⦠proof of a political or ideological motive is a necessary condition for the authorities to classify the facts as "terrorist" rather than "the act of a crazy man".
Skin color plays a larger role than âoeproof of a political or ideological motiveâ in how any given attack is described, at least in the US.
