It depends. My dad pushed me to play a sport I despised. Hated it from when I was young all the way to my last games. But thank god he did. Changed my life completely. As a mediocre student, I could pick any school I wanted. Love my dad, an

It’s not different. It’s a direct competitor. These new wallets are all to compete with Apple and Google Pay.

We do allow customers to check order status based on order id. I was just using an example. The only information paypal is sharing is name and shipping address. We’re aren’t talking significant data here.

What’s so strange about this? Columbus is one of the most important explorers in history, but his past, and resting place had been unconfirmed - even his birthplace was unknown. 500 years later after multi-year dna study, we now have the in

I work in Payments. This must be related to their new product - Fastlane. Fastlane is an express checkout product, similar to ShopPay. Even if you have never used a website, you authenticate with OTP and all your information (Address &

These are called ACH return codes and are similar to disputes on credit card. Liability is on the receiving or the originator institution. But in practice, it depends on the contract with the “processor”. Many Pay By Bank “processors” offer

It does. A2A / Pay By Bank is a growing payment method. Merchants will begin incentivizing it due to the cheaper costs relative to cards. We’ve implemented it and I’ve presented to the largest websites in the world about the opportunit

This may be controversial but the cost it would require for a restaurant to replicate what DoorDash/Grubhub provide is less than the fee they are charged by these companies. Advocating to cap the fee they are charged for a service is r

Interesting, this is the exact question that came to mind for me. This would address a pain point for me. Does anyone have recommendations for a tool that does it? Or, anyone want to build it together?

Completely true. What I’m most excited about is to see what people do with the UX. We are no longer confined to windows that scroll up, down, left, and right. Application’s now have depth, and the spatial concept will mean the way we view a

Cormac got me back into reading as an adult. I read The Road and I was astounded. Still have yet to read another book I’ve liked as much, but at least he got me reading to find it!

This isn’t crypto “hype.” It’s not going to impact the price of Ethereum. At least it’s not hype in my opinion. It’s just an impressive engineering feat. Given crypto isn’t going to die tomorrow, it’s good to see Ethereum has sunset the com
