I was going to guess that there are lower fraud rates in the EU compared to the US; based on what my former partner said, their company reports all EU fraud, but only fraud in the US over 2k USD. In addition to that, people in the US treat

I see your point, but practically speaking they can give tech company is money and still stop women from driving. It seems like they take the profits from trade and give it to terrorists, so we should probably brainstorm other solutions an

Along these lines, I think it was an attempt to not piss off potential donors. "I donate a quarter million a year and you give it to a black who killed her own son? Guess Yale could use a new building with my name on it" Still tho

Neat project; I'm starting to think that most of these sites, and services that gamify crypto-speculating are training models around user behavior/mimicking trades. Also, it threw a 500 internal server error after linking Twitter

One could say the same of lobbying, but there's still a funnel from lobbying straight into government/private sector (and vice versa, depending on who you ask). Whether you like it or not, entertainers produce goods or entertainme

This is embarrassing at this point; a credit authority printing dividends is too busy placating shareholders to even pretend to give a shit about the data of the people who _involuntarily_ have their PII stored on their platform. Whoever fi

Apparently, if you wish to opt-out of the arbitration clause, you have to send them a hand-written letter? While TrustedID is a company of Equifax, I'm not 100% certain that opt-outs to the arbitration clause for Equifax mean you also

I'd say it's like celebrities advertising products all the time, and then being exposed to updates through social media under the implied context that it's relatively candid time. Of course, social media can and usually is do

Why are businesses so afraid to name the Boogeyman that is deliberate ("friendly") fraud? I'm almost certain that a lion's share of cam girl-related chargebacks are jerks who dispute the $200 they sent for personalized n
