That's awful. I've recently gone through a similar process with an aging relative. Two takeaways for me: The things the medical industry will do to keep people "alive" are extraordinary, and expensive, and (in some cases

The old people with the power to "pass better healthcare" have excellent health care for themselves. So they do care, just not about you and me.

The configuration of the settlement bank account happens at the processor. If you want to change it, you need to talk to customer service and fill out a PDF form, with signatures and other human verification processes. If it were possible t

You can only void existing transactions, so the money would be returned to the same card, and the amount would be limited to the originally captured amount. It is possible to create a "push" transaction too of course. Visa Direct,

This terminology is not quite right for the US. I'm assuming you're from elsewhere due to the "s" in authorization. :) In the US, the two steps for the merchant are Authorize (optional) and Capture. If both steps are per

I believe GP is confused. You can read a card (stripe) with one of those cheap readers. The magnetic stripe is not encrypted and you can extract the card number (PAN), expiration date, and cardholder name. Some other less important bits too

I am guessing that the data feed requirements of ATC telemetry are fairly modest, well within the range that a pair of analog modems could handle. You don't have to send a raw radar feed to the airport, just put the intelligence (objec

Telephone providers lease "dry loop" lines for point-to-point signalling. I've used them for telemetry systems with acoustic modems on both ends. Also for sending audio between broadcast studios. I recall that it was priced b
