No worries. Indeed direct debit would be awesome - at least for the marginal subset of "companies doing business in Germany"

That may be true for you & me, but probably not relevant to the millions of PEBKAC internet users out there, who can't even tell IE from FF.

n.b. we were talking about DIRECT DEBIT (which is something else entirely from debit cards). You basically allow a company to directly withdraw money from your bank account (assuming sufficient funds on the account)

I found a few of their examples had errors in them. Plus a general dislike towards the Samwer brothers. (I know that this shouldn't affect business)

Very good point there! Sadly we (as usual) have found our own way of doing things :-/

Oh man... I love that Stripe is finally coming to Europe. BUT seriously (going on a disappointed rant here): Belgium & the Netherlands get into private beta and Germany gets nothing? I mean: Come on. BE + NL together have 27m people - G

Either that was a) one hell of a marketing stunt to launch your book on the same day as Stripe launching in the UK OR b) you are one lucky man! Anyway: Godspeed with your launch!

Believe me, I am empathetic to the pain this is causing you. I can understand the anger you are feeling. But I don't think that I am trivializing things. The fact is, that phishing sites are causing a real pain (as in millions of dolla

As much as I can understand you being upset that Chrome shows a warning for your site, I don't think that the approach they are using is unreasonable. I'd take bets that those criteria show a correlation to phishy sites. Especiall

In my experience over the last few weeks, younger Germans (my age, 30 years & younger) are blissfully ignorant ("I don't have anything to hide" - sounds familiar ?) to the impact of the government spying on its citizen. 2

> Why not? That is exactly the WRONG question. Government power & influence needs to be restricted to the bare minimum necessary - for the security(!) of its citizen. We can all clearly see what extensive government power leads to. J

Wait... That's what I am paying my taxes for? That's where my money goes? I am NOT against Linux being more widely used. And I like the idea that the city uses Linux to save money & more efficient. But pushing citizens to use

They probably need the CPU cycles somewhere else. Maybe a lot of calls going on right now...

I would have probably said (with some imprecision): Electrical circuits either carry a current (binary 1) or they don't (binary 0). [Ignoring the fact that you could also measure the AMOUNT of current carried here] Because of this unde

Any reasons behind this?

I am not saying, that your perspective is wrong - I certainly feel that you have made a good point there. But maybe we (You & I) just aren't in their target audience and while it does not seem a good idea to us, it is an insanely awesom

Oh god, Tom. That right there: "One thing that programmers forget is that, at some point, you weren't good at programming, but over time, you learned and now you are pretty good." That's just an enormous revelation. I can't even tell you h

Agree! (& listen to Erica, she knows what she's talking about) Deliverability is a nightmare (client of mine lost 5 figures, because his admins [at Germany's biggest hosting company] messed up the DNS setup). There's a reason why there

I think, that it is a marketing thing as well. You just don't want to put out the videos shortly after the conference, because of all the people who paid $700+ to attend. They might feel betrayed and appreciate having a bit of a head start
