Fascinating

I read "vaguely tying them together" as "usually it works, sometimes not". This latter is my experience.

Electronic transfers enjoy a certain priority also, direct deposit, wire transfer, cash or check deposit at atm or branch are all different for different banks. In other words, it is a vague description when things clear. Some banks are better to their customers some are not so much. I live in the US.

An improvement is most certainly welcome and appreciated.

Too many columns and talk about it.....

My take: one single column that the rendering visible area can figure out how to render. No hidden agenda. only and just information worth reading: learning, discussing, agreeing ir disagreeing.

(my first papers were from a teletext or a stencil or a typewriter they were of the information I wish for to read today at least 3-4 times a week. instead of 3-4 days go by for one.)

Bring back the pure unadulterated brain output.

Most people only care about tangibles. When i politely advised about security holes, i was told that "we don't need people like you' or just called the police. I understand.

...then the companies having bad code will make a few good ones for show. Interview is like first date both parties try to impress without mentioning the critical (i could have said important too) parts.

Language helps me express what is in my head without an actual human or machine language. I think in objects that are not words, so i always translate to human language when expressing my thoughts. Learning a new language helps me understand culture and the people mostly using it and as importantly the vocabulary of the already known languages. i am a poliglot. When I converse in one language i never translate to another it just flows.
