Anthropic claim that if you have a verification issue, they will give you support; remains to be seen what that will actually come down to

There is a somewhat famous case in Germany, where an elderly couple's house got sold without them knowing, because someone changed the paper deed, and some scummy business man confirmed that he got the money in cash.

They better introduce systems like this in Germany too, but they rather drown in mafia related crime than admitting that their analog way of doing business and clinging on to cash is a mistake.

concerning how most second level comments get played by WSS. The quality of comments here on HN has declined horribly :(

StackOverflow is completely selling out to some Ripple shills, disgusting.

Making it sound like you can get this rate for Euros by saying in EU is dishonest.

You should mention for which currency this holds, not mention a whole continent.

I have spent more than 10’000 hours in DotA 2. You do not get banned for a single game no matter how bad you perform.

It has to be on a very regular basis, and even then you probably first get put into low priority matchmaking as your behavior score drops. Banning accounts usually only applies to cheats or buying and selling accounts.

Wrong. Germany for example is known [0] for money laundering through properties, because big cash purchases hardly ever get reported.

Hi!

Very interesting service, but sadly I cannot sign up for a trial, due to not possessing a US telephone number, which for some reason is required. That said I am a researcher at an Internet measurement and security group. Any chances for a cooperation?

The iOS client for OneDrive integrates quite well with macOS. A lot better than iCloud for Windows actually.

If you have an iOS device, you can force the app store to refresh and update Telegram. Then once updated, in the app under settings, you can select Telegram Premium and pay with Apple Pay

Looking at the in-app purchase on iOS in Europe, the price seems to be about EUR 5.50 which I find to be quite steep, for these kinds of features. I've been wanting to support TG's development for a while now, but I would have hoped that this would be more in the vicinity of 1-3 Euros per month.
