Bigger question: why would you want a Web Summit ticket?
There are more words in the other question so technically IT is bigger.
I’ll show you bigger
I was going to leave that hanging there so people could continue thinking you’re a dirty ole pervbag, but I’ll respond out of a sense of patronising ownership.
Go on then, pet. Show us.
There. See.
Hmmm. I guess that’s that, then.
Is it every bit as underwhelming as you’d hoped?
you’ve made me sad
Sorry.
I’ll make you a vegan dinner, if you like.
He has surpassed all my expectations.
I’m sniggering away at my desk like a child. Living the dream, hah?
Fupping RAGING.
He’s playing us all off one another. We should unite against him and form a coven.
Good plan. Let’s pretend we haven’t formed one already.
Ah now. They’ve modded his comments so I look like a maniac.
Thanks a BUNCH!
They modded me last night when I called Tones a twinly-pinkle pants. Only it was much more vulgar than that.
You are kind of odd
She is ADORABLE.
Beyond adorable. Still odd, though. That’s a good thing.
Who am I, the cat’s mother? I’m right here, you know.
It’s true, though. I’m totes adorbs.
It is a good question.
My company are encouraging us to enrol in Coursera courses at present, and they are asking for a scan of my passport (or government ID card). When I mentioned this a bit incredulously to friends, they said it was because the accreditations are now taken quite seriously, they need to ensure the person taking the course is the person receiving the credits.
But this system is no more or less foolproof than an email verification. If I said to my secretary (I don’t have a secretary): “Secretary, take this course in my name and send me the accreditation”, is that so different to “Secretary, scan my passport, take this course and send me the accreditation”?
One of the providers (and I believe its Coursera) will ask to take a photo with your webcam each time you submit an assignment. While it isn’t foolproof, its a bit more strict than email accreditation.
that’s chaturbate you’re thinking of
I think you should have a secretary.
Jus’ sayin’
Hello? 1950s calling. We all have PAs these days, Grandpa.
Easy kitten, the guy said secretary ;}
I’m just jealous coz I don’t have one.
what are the hours?
What IS The Hours. It’s a book by Michael Cunningham/SmartPig.
BALLS. All I need to do is press reply to the right thing, and I can’t do it.
I’m a right flute.
Aren’t we all AndYours :)
Probably prevention of terrorism or something
– though you had probably figured this out, given your choice of alias, Gail
Good shout, btw.
Exactly my concerns. Working for a start-up myself, I have absolutely no reason to believe that Coursera’s data silos are safe.
Happy to do the webcam thing (of my face), but don’t know if I can get out of this passport issue.
I don’t remember sending the scan of the passport when I did it, but I can see where you are coming from.
How’d you put Gail’s name in as a hyperlink Rob?

I can’t paste it in without it turning into a URL, but it is very easy to do, makes your comments look nice and neat :)

Cool, thanks for that.
Doesn’t come thru on mobile, on the app like. Thanks though, much neater alright :)
Why indeed are you interested in going?
Websummit and Electric Picnic. What’s the difference? Nothing. Your parents will be glad you’re out of their house for a while.
It says “ID/Passport Number”.
What do you put in if you don’t possess a passport?
The ID number that’s tattooed onto the base of your skull, obvs.
Don’t you have one?
Mine’s on my heel, like the pope’s.
Any serious answers though? If you’ve no passport, the wording clearly asks for “ID”.
Independence Day? Iterative Dichotomizer? I Don’teven?
Desperate Dan pie eaters club membership card? Though they might ask for the badge too.
That’s DD – it clearly asks for ID.
First thing I’d try is “none” – this usually works when asked online for ‘postcode’.
Second thing, maybe just random numbers?
give them your eircode. that’s one seriously official looking number.
You’d think you were applying for social welfare or summat. Right, Regina?
Regina Doherty says public services card now mandatory for welfare
https://www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/regina-doherty-says-public-services-card-now-mandatory-for-welfare-1.3198024
i heard this on the radio this morning – they’re not compulsory, but they are mandatory. so while you don’t have to have one, you have to have one.
i hope that clears things up?
My understanding of ‘compulsory’ is that you have no choice, the law compels you in this case, whereas ‘mandatory’ means you can put it off for as long as you can, possibly because there’s no law compelling you.
