My understanding was that Goldman Sachs will have that information and they will be responsible for fraud prevention etc. -- they just won't share it with Apple.

Are you a U.S. permanent resident or U.S. citizen? It only works for foreigners, I believe, as U.S. residents don't need I-94 forms (the old cardboard slips). I'm also not sure if it works for Canadians, as Canadians can also trav

Which, in my opinion, means that the blame should really go the app developers of these apps. Who are those people that think it is a good idea to send your medical details (the article also mentions "Flo Period & Ovulation Tracker

I like the idea, but there still seem to be some glitches: When I look for VPSs with at least 5GB RAM, I get a lot of VPSes with 1.5GB RAM (e.g. https://www.serverhunter.com/?search=D21-C9F-3C1 ). Also, when you use the &quo

To be fair, Hickel is discussing the different poverty lines because he is refuting an explicit argument from Pinker in his letter: > "2. The level at which one sets an arbitrary cutoff like “the poverty line” is irrelevant — the en

I think it will all depend on how this plays out in practice. For now, this is only some fineprint in a ton of other legalese that might or might not be used in the future. I mean, if they show you a notification that you should really sign

I'm not sure the comparison to the phone company is very applicable. This would be the case if Patreon would be a pure payments proessor, like Mastercard or Visa (or maybe Stripe). But Patreon provides pages on their own website within
