Just want to say I've had the opposite experience. Stripe has blocked multiple fraudulent transactions for me. PayPal has let multiple through which are clearly fraudulent just from me looking from my end. I recently had a case where a

I'm late, so you probably won't see this (might shoot you an email with this same thought.), but I want to echo a piece of feedback I sent to you last year (and the year before I think): Faster checkout. And improved trust (someho

Those presidents had remote wars and recessions as their triggers. Trump has a pandemic. Ultimately, you can't really go out and build a high speed railway during a pandemic, when you want to enforce social distancing and isolations (c

This seems to be a dramatic simplification, to the point where the results aren't helpful at all, unless I'm missing something. A lot of this is private property. Offices, people's houses, a farmer's farmland. We can&#x2

I'm not sure this matters. It's a very strong gesture that they're highly confident their systems were not compromised, but the word is already out: "Houseparty has poor security and leaked your passwords" It's

I'm not sure a company can make their own definition of "end-to-end encryption" and say they're E2E because they meet their own definition of the term. Sure, they're legally in the green perhaps. But this is not E2E

See, this is key. If Uber has to class them as employees, it should also be able to deny them from working on other platforms. It should also be able to set working hours. And deny drivers the ability to refuse rides if they wish to keep th

I don't do it often, but I think of someone in my head every now and then that meets this criteria. Sometimes I wish I did get in touch to thank them. It makes a difference to know you had a positive impact on someone. And a surprising

I'd add that gaming (e.g. video gaming) is now an addictive disorder, as of ICD-11, as well. When it gets compulsive, at least. A good psychiatrist uses the ICD and DSM as a guide and not as a rule. The two key factors that contribute

GDPR doesn't mean you can force any organisation, state or private, to delete your information if you so desire. If you have a legal obligation to pay a fee the government is obviously allowed to process your data for that purpose.

I don't know what you're getting at here. These are all bad addictions that would result in "reduced study skills" I'd imagine. Similar for other addictions, like gaming or television. But I'm not sure an addic

It probably depends how you use the internet. The study says the main use of the internet was social networking (40%). If a compsci major is using the internet in the same way as typical students I don't doubt the results hold true in

People suggest Ray Wenderlich often, and he seems great, but it's mostly videos which I personally cannot learn from. He has books, but they cost a fair bit (around $100/book iirc), and they're not included in the subscriptio
