They were already offering 1TB of storage for free, realistically they are probably rebranding 1TB to Unlimited because I highly doubt most of their users were getting near a TB of storage. (It was also 1 TB per user, so 5TB free for a Home

You can use your Clipper Card on most transit systems (Golden Gate, BART, MUNI, VTA, AC Transit, Sam Trans). You can load generic cash that can be used on all the systems, or you can load the Bart "passes" (the $40 for $44). Some

According to the email I got from American Express, the POS will see the DPAN. So every POS transaction would see the same unique card number.

The retailer would only pay the Stripe fee. If I understand correctly, Apple collects some fees from the bank (that they take from the interchange fee)

One thing is that Stripe's documentation only shows the latest version, not the version of the API you are on. So for instance the API docs will show that the way you create a refund is charge->refunds->create(), but if your firs

Stripe Marketplaces isn't actually a product, there are two products, Stripe Connect and then the Trasnfers API. In the Stripe Connect set up every vendor in the marketplace has their own Stripe account and then each vendor is responsi

I probably get asked for ID less than 1% of the time. In general it tends to be in odd locations too. In my experience a less than $20 dollar purchase is more likely to have the employee ask for my ID than a $200 purchase.
