List of Third Parties (other than PayPal Customers) with Whom Personal Information May be Shared List of Third Parties (other than PayPal Customers) with Whom Personal Information May be Shared

PayPal has a banking license in Luxembourg which they may use to act as an acquiring bank for EUR, but they are not licensed to act as a bank anywhere else. For that they contract with existing banks, likely on their GDPR third party information sharing list: www.paypal.com/lu/legalhub/...

TIL, I would have expected companies to use a card with a reciprocal agreement with UnionPay if at all possible (Discover, Pulse, JCB, RuPay, or BC Card). I have a Discover card and one of the reasons I haven't gotten rid of it is that it could be useful if I visit china.

There are a few countries which have national card networks (e.g. Mir in RU, Elo in BR, UnionPay in CN), many of which have international acceptance agreements, but the only one I can think of that has managed to court foreign issuers is RuPay from India.

i'm guessing the same reason numbered seals are put on containers and such: in order to show that no one has opened it and taken or modified parts since it was sealed.

I'm surprised their NDA is that strict, IIRC there was a leak of some Intel processors a while ago and some tech youtubers made videos about it because the NDA did not apply to information they found elsewhere.

I'm planning on moving out of the US once I get a job I can perform there and am not planning on ever calling myself an "expat"

ime "expatriate" is used primarily for white people and "immigrant" for non-white people.

In US legal terms, "expatriate" means to renounce citizenship, though i don't see it used much that way. It also has a connotation of only temporarily residing abroad.

flag of austria-hungary, but the left side is a rainbow flag and the right side is a trans flag. Inside the crests there are various lgbt flags. The top of the crowns have trans and gay symbols.

I designed a flag like this last year, though it's not my idea. I think various designs of it have been floating around for years.

italy made the rules even stricter recently, now if your italian ancestor naturalized before their child reached the age of majority then you're not eligible.

i acquired italian citizenship from a great grandparent a few years ago, but would not be eligible under new rules.

the weirdest thing the chinese tourist/business visa application is the name and occupation of all close family members.

schengen and us visas don't seem to ask that, though schengen is very much strange, it doesn't even ask about other nationalities.

i mean, i'm willing to compromise on self-id (where self-id is the compromise, the thing i actually want is removal of gender markers from databases and identity documents)

unfortunately it's impossible to get metal hot, but you can use vapor phase reflow soldering instead

crates.io: Rust Package Registry

I love how they linked to the Rust project code of conduct and not the package policy: crates.io/policies
The package policy is fairly clear about which sexual things are not allowed, and I don't see how the buttplug crate would fit in there
