That's because the two reigning parties designed the system such that votes for other parties are in fact mostly wasted.

On the other hand, if humans could apparently do that work without automated verification, then perhaps so can agents.

Because there are about two dozen companies that do direct debits from that account. Some of them may be automatically informed of the change, but for most I'd have to figure out how to update my payment info. Similarly, friends and family might hold on to account numbers to send money back and forth. (Though that's probably less of a thing now, with all those apps for sharing convenient payment requests.)

And likewise Europe has a fair number of unicorns as well. But nothing like silicon valley.

Having to change IBAN is a hassle, and shouldn't have been necessary. In fact, I think some countries (Germany?) actually got that right, and allow you to take your IBAN with you when switching banks. Like keeping your phone number when switching telco.

Sure. It was also a lot less functional.

You're blaming JavaScript? The language that succeeded at delivering fully sandboxed rich client-side applications better than any other tech? With the worst incidents generally being 'just' various forms of fingerprinting?

Or, if you're thinking server-side JavaScript: would the web have been more secure running PHP and Python?

Yeah, until your kid wants to use the PlayStation.

Why would you do attempts on someone else's server if you haven't been able to exploit a local server yet?

That sounds like a sensible approach to life even in less volatile times. Thank for elaborating!

How, if I may ask?

Picking a small registrar to optimize for reliability seems iffy. Perhaps today there's a passionate and knowledge owner personally picking up the phone (or empowering a small custom service department). But will that person still be doing that in 3 years time, or will they have moved on?

Your body actually is rather capable of making you acutely aware of most health conditions that require intervention.

Assuming you're not a specialized doctor, you're in no position to interpret that information. The person doing the interpreting usually has incentives that are perfectly misaligned with yours. And even assuming no malice, medical professionals tend to overestimate the benefit and underestimate the risk of the procedures they specialize in. One would hope that doctors would be required to be great statisticians, but alas..
