> Visa does not issue cards, extend credit or set rates and fees for consumers; rather, Visa provides financial institutions with Visa-branded payment products that they then use to offer credit, debit, prepaid and cash-access programs

Will you go to jail or pay a fine if you don't use a credit card? No? Then it's nothing like taxation and it is optional.

That's not true at all. It's certainly not common to require credit cards for car rentals in Europe. Must be an American thing.

by alt_f4 6y ago
Everyone in Europe uses debit cards. You don't have debit cards in the US? It's a plastic card, it is issued by your bank, it's still using the visa/mastercard network, but instead of credit, it is tied to actual funds i

It's not though. No one is forcing you or anyone else to sign up for credit cards - it's a choice, unlike taxation.

Anecdotally, yes. I almost never saw internal error pages before, now I've been seeing them every week for a few weeks. Some people need to be fired.

Yes, if done perfectly. Then I don't need to second guess it and potentially waste time if the thing removed something important by mistake. But that's equivalent to solving the halting problem, which is impossible. So, no.

Your first mistake would be using those platforms. You're just going to get spammed by Indian devs that didn't even read your post.

Another thing that calls out macOS 11? The WWDC event a few hours prior to your post announcing macOS 11.

You live in an extremely rich country, surely you can afford to install an AC unit if it impacts you as much as you're saying. Seems like that has a much better shot at solving your problem than waiting for the world to address global

It's because SPAs are a fad and server-side rendering is both faster and better for the client.

That's cool, but I'd rather Signal first did 2 other things: - Make it so notifications go through consistently, for both messages and calls. Right now, about 1/3rd of the time, I find out about new messages when I open the a

So, you found a phone released in 2017. From Huawei. Super cheap. That isn't even sold in the US. Where all the reviews read: "Honor 7X has the distinction of being one of the last phones to feature a micro USB port for charging

And iPhone sales a drop in the bucket compared to Android phone sales. And they all have USB-C.

by alt_f4 7y ago
It's not quite an apt comparison because the vast majority of people already own USB-C chargers and accessories, whereas lightning was a brand new thing. Also if Apple were that bothered by complaining, it would not have taken them 5 y

by alt_f4 7y ago
I do somewhat agree that it is govt overreach. I think a more appropriate tool would be launching an investigation into why they've stuck with lightning when everyone else (including their other products!) use USB-C. That should essent

Every time you are buying a charger, wired headphones or any other iPhone accessory, Apple collects a hefty license fee and you, indirectly, are paying it. Originally, the lightning port was a big improvement over existing tech. Currently t
