You would think so, but no, you don't! Typically it's just the passport number, or if the AML counterparty is feeling really ambitious, the number and the expiry date

They're never going to change this, it's the reason NFL franchises have such massively inflated valuations. Same w/ basketball + IPL franchises, very little downside risk to the ea…

I'm sure if it was really that much of an unmet need, Apple would be jumping out of their skin to go and build it and thus rake in the billions of unrealised revenue that must be o…

> You don't ever have to leave the Apple App Store, but your preference has no right to enforce an artificial limitation onto other users. So... just buy an Android? This is not an…

No? Entities don't get to write off the cost of being audited, there's a very real expense associated with both documenting the regulated process in a compliant manner and working …

I think it is, definitely. Have recently upgraded and it's immediately noticeable from the old Intel-based Macs. Much improved compute speed + battery life, barely noticeable batte…

Amazing project - I love the art on the "cards"! Who was your artist or where did you source it from?

To add my own lived experience, the whole blue / green text thing is absolutely a cultural label throughout continental Europe. As a 20-something who has recently lived in France +…

I agree with your point about the 30% tax being somewhat unfair... however, I think your average user would honestly just prefer Apple be the gatekeeper to their phone for them, an…

I assume this is Sydney? I love the work the council have done to the CBD recently - I wish they'd emulate what they did to George St all over the city centre.

Afterpay aren't really a payments processor in the typical sense though, their business model is nothing short of genius tbh. They've set up a non-traditional 2-sided market connec…
