i agree with you that async support is great, but chatbots and email have been there for a while. What is infuriating with Twitter is that it's basically one rule for the "powerful" (those who are on twitter and have follower

hmmmm I don't see any mention of "Stripe" in their T&C.. https://help.pomelopay.com/en/articles/4469708-pomelo-pay-me...

My suspicion is that they were hacking their way to growth by basically rewrapping Stripe until they got their own solution up. Stripe cottoned on, the game is up. That would explain the vague answers
814.

The real reason is probably because OP’s company “pomelopay” are advertising themselves as a payment provider, apparently leveraging Stripe (as some form of bootstrap hack?). I imagine Strioe don’t like that?
815.
by namdnay 5y ago
I don’t get it. You’re a payment provider that is in fact just a wrapper around another payment provider?

Antitrust in what market? Message-based conversation? Every company uses sms-based bots, whatsapp must be a tiny fraction of that

Conversation, not conversion The definition seems to be at the start of the page - it’s every “chat session” with a bot I don’t see the link with advertising or targeting?

That's exactly the kind of easy cynicism that serves no-one. Yes, everyone lies, politicians and non-politicians. "you're looking good", "our product already does this", "i was just about to do that",

the sales tax thing is a bit silly! for the rest, the only alternative I see would be for the government to get ouf of it completely and say it's up to each seller/distributor to handle their own bottles, but I guess this would re

when it's a 100% rebate for the vast majority of people i think it does? the money doesn't go to the state, it goes to the organisation that handles the recycling, and you get a 100% rebate for doing the normal thing

by namdnay 5y ago
It’s not a tax..

by namdnay 5y ago
Easy, just make it a federal standard

Ok sure, it gives 95% resistance, not 100% resistance. So? Do we not mandate seatbelts because they only save your life 95% of the time?

I don’t understand your point. It’s a vaccine, you get vaccinated, your body produces antibodies, your risk of catching the disease goes down, your risk of ending up in hospital nearly disappears

The far-right parties in Europe are usually focused on immigration rather than race. Look at the Brexit parties in the UK, the big enemies were the Poles. And the FN/RN in France has always taken pains to show that it is "pro-blac

To be more precise, it pays people for their differentiated contribution to the economy. If there’s no one to open the office doors in the morning, productivity is 0. Does that make the security guard the highest paid staff? Of course not,

Every big org I’ve worked for had some form of this. To be honest, if the estimated cost of fixing the leak is an order of magnitude bigger than the cost of recycling the nodes every week for the next 5 years, then it’s the best thing to do

If I understand correctly, Chainlink are selling "blockchain magic" to enterprise customers. Not exactly the same thing as the ponzi lending stuff

why? i'd say that if they're funded by taxpayers the most important thing is for taxpayers to reap their fare share of the profits. if those profits can be kept higher by keeping things secret it's a win for the taxpayer. I&#
