This is the issue. I'm an engineer, and I moved away from WP years ago, now I use ghost. But wordpress gives you that feeling of control, that you just need to search for "online store", and you get 100 plugins, including woo

Gold Apollo, the company whose brand was on the devices says they did not manufacture them, they only licensed their brand to BAC, a Hungarian company. Well, I'm sure income from licensing fees in their accounting books say differently

Their ability to communicate with us. I’m sure they communicate among themselves just fine. Us humans just unilaterally decided that inter species communication is a requirement for sentience, even though we’re also incapable of it.

This is probably a great use case for apple intelligence. There are many apps that try to organize your photos. But iOS itself could do that curating, removing duplicate, finding the timeless shots and organizing them into events. It alread

It's a mistake to think that if self hosting email is hard, then you should not do it. This will incentivise giants to gakekeep by making it even harder. Ideally we should get to a point where self hosted email ecossystem is self susta

I run a payments startup, but to ktlo, I had to do consulting work, and I’d hired a sales person to acquire and manage clients. When I realized consulting was taking too much time and focus, I ended it. It took the better part of a year to

Probably the same as what already happens with credit card data breaches. Stripe could decide to just start running cards, but it would have to test them as it does not know how much to take from each. That would be short lived. Issuers, ne

Basically if the Jump function takes an Animal interface, the package that defines the jump function is the one that defines the Animal.Jump method. So if you provide it with whatever entity that has this method, it will just work. You don’

I ended up using my wife’s card, and it worked fine. Her card is from outside the US. Seems Uber like it’s not as strict on non US cards. Maybe because chargebacks are less likely on those?

What happens here is something called “account updater” that banks and networks use to notify payment providers that the customer has changed their card, and send information about the new card, so Google Pay would then link their token wit

Partly. There is always some data you will need in the future that you don't think to store today. So I suspect MRR is not the only issue these startups are having. Another example is stripe just does not make some fields available via

Haven’t used LS before? But can you try using their API to export customers and reimport into stripe? What you will not be able to do is import their card data. I don’t think any payment provider can do that easily. That is likely a complia

The point is that this was likely only one of many poor design decisions that were and will keep being made. I get touch screens are universally bad for operating vehicles or any other machine that requires attention, muscle memory and quic

Getting into the app's running process is an effective way to exfiltrate everything, and likely they'd have a lot more to worry about there. I don't however think that piggybacking on a live app does not give you the size of

This seems to me like. a case of "hindsight is 20/20". There were thousands of design decisions made in the ship's controls, and likely multiple of them can in certain, yet untested scenarios, cause a disaster. Has he id

Ashley Maddison had the same issue. It seems if you hide one side of the interaction from the other, and one side benefits from scale, fraud is guaranteed to happen. Even robots do it, see the movie Her.
