Honestly it sounds like you use call or email support as a last resort, which is how I use it too. I poke around on my own, look through the documentation, check out the website, etc. Many, many, many people do not do that. Ask any retail b

I don't really disagree, except I think there are a couple different types of fraud Stripe might be on the lookout for in these types of cases: 1. Customer of retailer buys something with stolen cc, retailer is none the wiser, although

Have you ever worked in a support role? A few minutes is plenty for >95% of support requests. Those last few percent can certainly be a doozy though.

First, that seems to be what happened to OP. They suspended the transaction and are holding funds associated with that transaction. Second, I posit that having even one (confirmed) suspicious or fraudulent transaction increases the likeliho

Apple has the same thing on the Play Store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.move... - so really seems only fair.

I think there are procedures for removing sperm directly from the testicles, yeah. So potentially there are other options if reversal fails.

This is a dangerous meme that should die. They're about 50% likely to be reversible after 5 years. That's not what we generally mean when we say something is "reversible". It's a permanent procedure that can someti

I thought I'd dive in and look for these plans, and as expected they're not at all easy to find. For Telus, I had to go to four different plan/pricing pages before I found a link mentioning that cheaper plans are only availab

I don't disagree, but I think in this scenario you'll end up with some illegal activity recorded/uploaded but the very illegal activity is yet to come. Like if Darnella Frazier's video stops before George Floyd dies,

You're making two claims here that I think are interesting: 1) PETA paying someone's water bills (or SXSW paying homeless folks) is harmful in the long term, because it makes society fixing the overall issue less likely. 2) That h

It doesn't "miss" that, it rejects it. And what does moral responsibility mean? If I toss $1 in a beggar's cup, am I now responsible to feed him for the rest of his life? More so than if I cross the street and avoid him?

Looks like they've got some decently popular open source repos - https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS for example - so I wouldn't be surprised at all if Google and others used that, even if only for their own rese

I remember (very lightly) scamming someone for a gmail invite - they wanted a picture of whoever they invited, I send them one I found deep in google images. Was a strange time for sure.

I really wouldn't be surprised if 30/40/50 years from now "child stars" will seem as absurd and barbaric as child labor in general does today. It just seems so terrible and exploitative in so many cases.

Because some of us don't want to buy infant formula that's full of lead, bacteria, cellulose, or whatever other garbage would end up in it?

This is unfortunately true of far more of the economy than a lot of people will admit.

It certainly is an uncomfortable discussion, although that often means it's an important one. I suppose I'd question whether the ACLU (or whoever) should push for the rights of the baker or the couple, since they seem to be at odd

Areas that are too remote aren't typically the ones that get deforested though - generally trees are removed either because they're valuable (and if you can bring trees out, you can bring seedlings in) or because the land is wante

Workers don't plant seeds, they plant seedlings (that are 2-4 years old, depending on species). You get a much higher survival rate that way. It's costly, but so far it's the most efficient way. Maybe drones will change tha

This is true, sure, but it's not that different than what happens without AI. If I buy an AI-powered service from some company, yah their training data could have been handcrafted my malicious actors within for some nefarious purpose.
