  @chesscomsupport I'm trying to buy a Friends & Family subscription, but the payment page is buggy and rejects every single payment method. I have tried entering credit card details directly, using Apple Pay, using Google Pay, and PayPal. Most of them fail after I try to pay, showing "Your transaction failed. Please check your card details and try again.” Looking at the browser developer tools shows an HTTP 422 error. PayPal fails before it even starts with an "Error: Expected an subscription id to be passed to createSubscription" in the developer console. Since the Friends and Family subscription has a separate payment page, I suspect only that page is broken. I had no problem signing up for a free trial through Apple on my phone but I know that the Friends & Family subscription has to be purchased from the website.

  If you are doing above 500k a month with ecom Listen I have had houndreds of DMs from ecom guys just like you They thought they will be safe on Shopify payments But they were not Still ran into reserves, holds, shutdowns, etc. The usual case: - multiple 8 figs processed with shopify - CB % below 0.3 % - Local manufacturing - As white hat as ecom can get But they still got betrayed Lost all the subscription tokens (some recovered via auth net plugin) Almost killing their whole business over some new behavioural program VISA came out with Now mastercard is doing the same Once it goes live (on 24th of July) There will likely be the same wave of shut downs as there was when VAMP came out What does it mean for you? You could have 0 chargebacks or 0 refunds (which no one at that scale has) And still get shutdown They are basically trying to shut stores down before they can do any damage Issue here? Behaviour monitoring in ecom mixes up BH and WH stores Because on the front end it all looks the same - pre chceked boxes - claims on landers - before and afters - tampered testimonials The list goes on That is why there where so many wrongful shutdowns when VAMP came out What can you do? Switch away from SP before they shut you down Move to a CRM and Private processing (MIDs) You would own your subscription tokens Have the native shopify checkout Yes you can still have apple/google pay and paypal Also if you didn't know Shop pay was opened up recently and CRMs are working on implementing it in their system Meaning? Soon you will also be able to have Shop Pay wihtout shopify payments If you want guidance on how to set this all up and get the connections that you don't have (heads of the biggest CRMs, ISOs, fintech companies, etc.) Feel free to send me a DM ps. I don't charge anything for this

  @RossoVermil No, Kodiak says he canceled payments, PayPal returned the money due to StarCat’s account issues, and he needed it after losing his job. Without actual donation logs or proof it was kept for profit, and Kiwi made the call not him it’s not the smoking gun you’re making it.

  they keep taking small artists on vgen's names, going to discord and impersonating them, saying their vgen is broken and you can pay through paypal. all their responses are with AI too.

  Which one are you stopping first: Kafka, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, or Flink? All 4 run on the JVM. Amazon, Alibaba, and Microsoft each maintain their own JDK distribution (Corretto, Dragonwell, Microsoft Build of OpenJDK). A company doesn't build and maintain a runtime for a language it is quitting. Payments tell the same story. PayPal's backend is Java, Square's server fleet runs on the JVM, and Alipay clears Singles' Day traffic on Ant Group's Java middleware. When money moves online, a JVM is usually somewhere in the path. Of course, my argument also has caveats. Python owns machine learning, Rust owns systems programming, Go owns small services that must start in a jiffy, and Java is still waiting on value types a decade after Project Valhalla was announced. The point is: every language earns its seat somewhere. So, when you say "you can just stop using Java", you are smuggling in a dangerous, hidden assumption: that whatever you switch to is better, for every workload at once. I find this short-sighted at best and plain stupid at worst. Superiority is per workload, and for long-running services on large heaps, Java is tough to beat. Let me tell you a few: 1/ JFR records everything a misbehaving **** process did, at ~1% overhead, while it runs. No other mainstream runtime ships profiling this complete. 2/ Generational ZGC keeps pauses under 1ms on heaps of hundreds of GB, and it compacts memory while doing it. 3/ The JIT optimizes the program for the behavior it actually sees at runtime, and re-optimizes when it guessed wrong. A compiler that finished before your program started can't do either of those things. 4/ Virtual threads run millions of concurrent tasks as plain sync code 5/ Code written in 2005 still runs on Java 25 The language moved slowly because it refuses to break the people who build on it. Dunking on Java is the price of that guarantee. Sadly, it works because posting costs nothing while the engineers who'd push back are busy running your data infra on the thing you told them to stop using.

  Ripple's CEO just explained why XRP exists in under 2 minutes no jargon: Venmo can't send to PayPal, even though PayPal owns Venmo. That's how broken our payment networks are. Now scale that to sending money overseas: slow, expensive, and it can vanish for weeks. Ripple's fix: sell the tech to banks worldwide. 4 second settlement, fractions of a penny, anywhere on Earth. Customers don't care it runs on XRP. They just care that it works.
