It’s only a matter of time until they intersperse these organic looking ads into the search results, instead of all at the top and the bottom.

Much better to reset this ridiculous situation by tax than by war and guillotine. Being born poor into a society like this is slavery in disguise.

The “we bring you new customers” pitch that food portals is incredibly deceitful. Portals didn’t arrive on the scene with millions of customers to send to restaurants. They arrived with zero and siphoned them away using these dirty tricks (

I would imagine stripe will always block charges it thinks are likely to be disputed. They aren’t offering carte-blanche to accept transactions that are likely to be fraudulent. Perhaps it wouldn't work for stripe (to allow the mercha

That’s exactly what we’d like. 95% of our transactions come from trusted customers which have ~0% chance of a chargeback. We’d like to apply this check and insurance on only the transactions that we are not sure about. Requiring it to be al

Sounds like a bad situation. If I were you I would simply change the app ID, create a new Play account and publish it there. If there problem is with the connection to a banned account and not the app, then this removes that problem/co

Similar situation here – large increase in price for offering the same thing. In the past they’d jacked up the price saying ‘they’ve built new stuff so should charge more’ but have no option to remain using only the old stuff. IMO they comp

Your pricing is fu*ked. >9c to Germany, >7c to Ireland, > 8c to France, nearly 10c to Netherlands. More expensive than SMS.

Why are the authors of the papers giving rights to Elsevier? If the papers are being peer reviewed for free, why doesn’t SciHub corral the reviewers and allow authors publish directly to SciHub. Papers upvoted by leaders in the field would

You might get more correct answers if you ask on a non-English speaking forum. I imagine there are plenty of developers in Russia and China who don’t speak English. We often hire remote developers on Upwork and many can’t speak (orally) E

If I may take advantage of the numerous highly knowledgeable people in the industry here — has anyone recommendations for accepting payments from the UAE? We use Stripe to receive card payments there in AED and then need to pay this money o

This fee shouldn’t be compared with net neutrality. It’s a completely different and less scary thing.

Does anyone have an idea of the ROI on this? I'm thinking you'd need a massive number of 10 second to mine any meaningful number of BTC on consumer laptops.

If you have a bitcoin and cash out the amount you make us fixed/limited to the current value if a bitcoin. If you don't cash out the maximum you could possibly lose is 1 bitcoin but that amount you could make is largely unlimited

Yes, of course. It's a very active space and there are a number of US based companies making moves in the US. No one with quite as nice a platform (from the consumer's POV) as us exists - we're confident in our ability to mak

The perception is that if we can our sales process work in the US then it will be much easier to scale out than in the EU, where most every country comes with its own language.

Our local market is 2,000 restaurants, vs 200,000 or so in the US. It's a great market to learn and improve, but we want a place with a larger customer base. We aren't abandoning our local market, far from it, but want to be in a

Anyone know where you can buy hardware like this (a wifi button) that you could then use for your own stuff? Eg. Using your own little web server: Press to order an uber etc.
