Here was the breakdown: * For reference, across all sites, we process about ~800k USD per year. * We had been processing with Stripe (in our jurisdiction) for about 3 - 4 years. * Shopify Payments was launched in our jurisdiction. We were e

I agree with you - there's nothing inherently shady with performing KYC at a later date. However, onboarding clients that are exisiting clients of Stripe, then claiming to not being able to process for the merchant, booting them off wi

The email option is displayed / hidden depending specific factors, specifically if your GeoIP is in your original / standard country. Had to do this last week, VPN to my home country to enable code via email. Sheer stupidity.

We run Shopify across a plurality of domains. Over the last 12 months, especially with the release of "Shopify Payments" (Stripe Connect) - they have become a lot more opaque, greedy and dangerous for merchants. Anecdota: - Their

Not to defend the app in question, but certain public transport organisations publish incorrect data. One example of this is the RATP (Paris public transport) - they refuse to publish live feeds: the data they publish is a basically their &

LimeSDR, BladeRF, AirSpy... The first two are capable of emulating base stations - quite incredible. AirSpy is RX only but has incredible bandwidth and a very clean signal

For those interested in this space, there are a few alternatives as well. In the LF space (125-134KHz, mainly HID / EM4XX and T55 chipsets) the proxmark is a very useful device. It was also used in the recent cloning of Tesla fobs and

It depends on the station and season. In winter, station masters have a higher tolerance for camping - and it's worth mentioning that it comes down to the decision of station controller, not the RATP.

It depends very specifically when your accounts were made. Mine has 5+ years - had no problems. Friends trying to make accounts in the last 6 months have had huge issues. Posting from Shenzhen.

Unfortunately no longer the case. All account validations for foreigners require the above hoops to be jumped through - at least as of yesterday when we were jumping through them to activate the account of two EU clients - chat only, not pa

I have an older account so avoided most of the validation hell, but I cannot link even Hong Kong payment cards to the account. Every time I come over, I hand a fistfull of cash to a local, who will send me the equivalent in WeChat. From wha

You may find within X days (one week to three weeks) your account will be locked, with the only means available to unblock by jumping through the hoops above. I watched three locals take literally one hour yesterday to validate one account

If you're a foreigner, getting a functioning WeChat account is near to impossible these days. Validating a foreign account involves sponsorship from a local account. Local accounts can only sponsor one user every three months. This is

Great clarification. From what I understood the OK-GLI was still refered to (colloquially and officially) as a Buran, but absolutely, the buran that ended up in Australia is not the same as the one in the Baikonur hanger.

It's in "Baikonur", a 100km circle of real estate in Kazakhstan that is leased by Russia for its space program. The site is not abandoned, but definitely has abandoned pieces of infrastructure. Getting caught in Baikonur is n

Zebra skins are also used on prototype cars / unreleased cars - not for traceability, but to obscure their form - very similar to the technique used in WW2 battleships. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazzle_camouf
