I have almost the exact same issue. My account used to be on a one card, which I cancelled. I've updated my Claude subscription to another one and worked without any issues including MFA/OTP.

For some reason I really don't understand, it's a different payment process in the on the Developer Platform page. When I tried to update there with 3 different credit cards (MC, Visa, AmEx) and using Stripe Link, they all got the same rejection. It's clearly some bug / issue on their side.

Their chat bot is honestly an embarrassment for a frontier AI company like Anthropic, generic, not helpful and trying to lecture me on what MFA/OTP implicating "it's you being to stupid to use a credit card".

I'm also waiting already for 2 weeks for a human support on my 2 messages.

This whole thread shows I am (and you are) not alone with this issue, so it's hard to understand how the "engineering team checked" and didn't find anything.

I've been building payments systems for over a decade and just projecting from this thread their support should be blowing up from such an issue - I know in my companies it would have.

While everyone is focused on the technological aspects and how much more secure Olvid can be, let’s point out the obvious fact:

It’s French!

The French government is picking up a French solution built by a French company.

I doubt that the decision was as much technological as it is obviously political.

Unfortunately this is a common pattern in Europe, especially the bigger states like France and Germany.

Probably. As with pixel art or design that mimics the early WWW era, it will become part of some retro hype cycle.

I don’t think that most people care about using Google or quality of search results at all.

I’d agree that the average HN user and certain professions like developers do care. I tried them all, kept switching back to Google and recently stuck with Kagi.

If I look at average not-so-technical users, they just enter words into their browser’s navigation/search bar and are happy to get useful results.

It’s worth to remember that Google is the default search engine in most common browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox).

Recently my wife, a typical Mac and Chrome user, got a new Windows computer from work. She didn’t notice that she was using Edge and Bing as browser and search engine until I once looked at her screen and commented on it. She shrugged it off as unimportant and keeps on using it, even though she could change the browser as well as the search engine.

While I'm doing the same on a small scale for fun, I think it's important to mention that this is not some magic feature of Bitcoin, but just a speculative effect that works with any kind of asset, as long as its value grows disproportionally to the value of the currency you bought it in.

This only works as long as the price of Bitcoin (and other crypto currencies) "goes up". If it stagnates or drops, you can lose money, even more than the current inflation.

E.g. Calculating the Dollar Cost Average for the last year would show that you probably would have lost money, with a negative ROI of -11%.

XState is a great state machine library for JavaScript/TypeScript and we're happily using it in production.

For us the visual editor is a great sketching/design tool between engineers and product managers.

Isn't that what the AppStore review process is for?

Or why not provide an extra approval process for the NFC API?

On the other hand they were not so concerned with bad actors when releasing AirTags.

Feels more that it's about control than safety and like that kind of decision that got them into all the antitrust probes in the first place.

> Apple will work closely with leading payment platforms and app developers across the payments and commerce industry to offer Tap to Pay on iPhone to millions of merchants in the US.

Is it just me feeling that Apple is again playing gatekeeper to iPhone APIs and hindering true competition by "working with leading platforms" aka. the big players, like Stripe or PayPal, essentially leaving startups and smaller players disadvantaged.

Why not just finally open the NFC API?

Feedback on "Jitsu support s MixPanel as a destination"

This is not really clear from the website. Mixpanel is mentioned in https://jitsu.com/sources but NOT in https://jitsu.com/destinations. Also the docs seem very clear about that.

We are currently looking at Segment, Jitsu and others. While we generally liked Jitsu, this was kind of a big deal for us and made us lean towards Segment.

However, no final decision has been made yet. ;-)

Yup. Title is clickbait and should be changed to original.

Funny that I never thought about this.

Now I'm wondering how this actually plays with legislation such as CCPA or GDPR, as it is quite revealing even without the more delicate sites mentioned here.

> What I won't stand for is lying about that software's status as open source. He may not be an expert on licensing but he's had it explained to him by experts and chooses to continue lying. That's not acceptable behavior.

How do you know this? What makes you assume that following the poll he won’t change the wording? Maybe even the license?

Why do you still accuse him of lying? Maybe it’s just an honest mistake?

In dubio pro reo, right?

> It's even worse to see projects like this misleading contributors into giving to a project which isn't even open source in the first place and asks for more than it gives.

I disagree. We need to be respectful in the way we interact with each other. Proper social intercourse is more important than the the topics we discuss.

I think everyone sees and respects how you feel about free / open source licensing.

Why can’t you just be a little bit more respectful towards the choices and opinions of others?

1. As was already posted: stop with the hurtful language and accusations toward the author. It’s just sad and disrespectful.

2. It’s not a fact, it’s a definition, as you’re stating it yourself. The thing with definitions and laws is that they can be changed if a majority agrees to do so.

Not sure if it’s the case here. You are probably right with the definition, but stop acting like you have the ultimate truth.

I think it’s fine to debate licensing and have a good discussion what constitutes free and open source software.

BUT I’m really shocked by this and other abusive comments that you made here.

I’m using the software and even contributing to it. I’m aware of it’s license and ok with it.

I am also aware that others might have issues with the licensing and might not contribute. Everyone is free to decide - that’s fine!

However, insulting the author and accusing him of deception is just wrong.

The author wants to contribute something to the community and is by no means an expert on licensing. He has clearly explained his rationale / fear and was is very open to feedback.

With your expertise you could have provided constructive feedback and maybe helped to eventually move the project to a better license. You chose otherwise.

Every time it’s sad to see this kind of behavior eventually driving people away from building things and contributing to other projects.

We're using n8n in production for a month now and are pretty happy with it.

Easily extendable and new integrations can be built easily.

Also helps that the author works here and is generally a great guy ;-)

Title is clickbait and misleading.

Original title: "When Fiat Falls Flat: Cryptocurrency ATMs Offer Financial Relief in South America"

Actual content / message: "Bitcoin ATM companies aim to place nearly 2000 new ATMs in Argentina by this time next year."

I just realized that there are still four keys on the bottom left side (next to space).

Until now this used to be: Fn, Ctrl, Option/Alt, Cmd

Since Fn is obsolete now, due to the lack of F-keys, it makes me wonder what the most bottom left key is.

Maybe (hopefully) they moved the Esc there.

I didn't know about it, quick googling shows that his dad is not a mobster. He was however arrested and charged in a high scale corruption case and fraud [1] five years back and was also charged with tax fraud in Germany before that. Since then he was released on bail and in 2014 sentenced to three years an ten months of prison [2].

Mate said in an interview that is planning to return the loan he received from his dad [3]. Also that should not impair Mate's achievements.

Sorry for the cynicism, but am I the only one feeling that this is a huge marketing stunt for the new iPhone 7 with super encryption?

I agree that Germany is not all about copycats. Thanks to the Samwers and others this perception was created. If you visit places like Silicon Valley and say you're from Germany you can be sure to find someone who will "make a joke" about Germany and startup copycats.

What irritates me is that nobody seems to point out these reverse cases, where others copy German innovation/ideas.

Also I'm wondering why these positive German examples didn't really scale internationally? Why didn't DHL roll out Packstation in the US? (Big company policies and lack of innovation?) Why has Mitfahrgelegenheit/Carpooling needed almost 8 years to launch in Europe? Why hasn't it launched in the US?

Just really wondering about the different perception and mindsets of US and German startups...

With Germany being notorious for its copycats, it's funny to see this in reverse.

Who would have thought that an idea that exists in Germany for almost 10 years would still be great for a startup in the US/Canada.

It's just the next logical step!

First SaaS then PaaS and now RaaS: Relationship as a Service

Doesn't this make Bing practically useless? I mean I go to an alternative search engine to get alternative search results...
