Your weekly report from LWN
"In the UK for some astonishing reason you need proof of address "
Most all (even the USA) require proof of identity & address to open/operate bank accounts. Tis prevent money laundering.
"New US/UK-style debit cards work perfectly anywhere a credit card would"
Not true, Many debit cards are only be used in Country of Origin, also many are for "ATM Use only".
Until last year, many UK "Swith/Solo" cards were UK & ATM only.
