> - how do you get a new bank card, when the current one expires?
The bank sends it through mail but they warn you that if it doesn't arrive within 2 weeks you should go in person to the bank to retrieve it. Depending on where you live there's a 50/50 chance that it never arrives through mail so you just wait 2 weeks and go to the bank.
> - how are you informed about a change like a price increase for electricity?
Email. Or the news channel for elderly people (if the increase is too big). If the increase is small that's a fact of life, everyone just expects it to increase a bit every 2 or 3 months.
> - how do you pay for electricity? (Knowing how much to pay, when etc) What about an elderly person?
Website or bank app. There are physical places that take cash payments and do the online process for you, elderly people generally use those.
This website doesn't check whether your profile link matches the city you typed in their website. It means you can place any other user wherever you want as long as they have a link in their profile (moved you to Taiwan as a test).
It's also a big buggy since you show up in both places now.
I placed myself at McMurdo Station and it shows up on the map but clicking the icon throws a 500 error.
Edit: seems to be fixed (by removing my icon from the map, now it throws error 500 when posting the data to re-add it).
Edit 2: you can place yourself in North Korea but clicking the [M] doesn't work because the name contains non ASCII characters. Also it returns error 405 when adding yourself (despite actually saving the data).

This was because there was no country code associated to it.

I actually did more than removing it, I now make any "city" without a country code, an invalid one. It's a hotfix, I'll have to think about it more tbh.

Yeah, actually I'm dumb I reintroduced a "vulnerability" by not checking if the city in the form was the same as the city in the HN user profile. So you could move people around, basically. But their actual data was unchanged of course, as it's stored here on HN. That's why I was able to revert this.
About the ASCII characters, yes it's a problem. I'll implement it as soon as possible, when things will calm down a bit.
Can you tell me more about the 405 though? It seems strange.
I tried to click on the locations in Turkey to list the users. But it redirects to homepage if it contains non-ASCII characters such as Tekirdağ, Ataşehir.
Awaiting for a fix, currently unusable for my case.
