I agree that having poor customer service is unacceptable. I agree that losing your access to email is a tragic thing and extremely difficult to resolve all the other issues that come with that. I'm not really commenting on the situati

I work in payments. This is pretty normal AFAIK. Doing a chargeback is a good way to be "fired" as a customer and not allowed to use that companies services anymore.

Why doesn't c++ offer a language version that's trimmed down to "modern" rules? Meaning all things that were deprecated, or not recommended, are cut out of the language. What I find difficult is that there's several

Yep. Anything greater than 1% is leading to trouble such as huge fees or being kicked off a card network.

Dynamodb doesn't do well with complex queries. Imagine you've got 4 integer fields, any combination of which can be filtered by a range. Using dynamoDb, you're going to have a hard time querying if field A, B, and D are inclu
