I have. It was right at the introduction of the redesigned model year so people that wanted to be one of the first to own the car were paying roughly MSRP. Costco got me to GM Supp…

It is indeed fixed but updating iOS app alone does not change the permissions. I had to sign out of the app, revoke the permissions on google and then sign back in.

I don't believe there's a single recruiter that's a good fit for anyone / everyone. If you form a good relationship with a well-connected recruiter they can definitely be an invalu…

The liquid (also comes in spray form) still exists. It's called a Magnetic Developer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_developer

Yup, after you tokenize the card CVC (CVV2, CID, etc) is no longer needed. So even though it will change it won't affect the validity of the card since this sounds like a deal with…

I had no idea these payphones operated at 130 VDC. Seems crazy in this day and age.

An experience like that is inevitable but it likely won't be through this solution. As it stands, LiFi requires a light source to illuminate a product which isn't exactly scalable.…

We designed a solution to keep the switching logic between standard touch and PIN entry within PCI scope such that PIN entry is not even visible at the lowest levels of Android (an…

As mentioned, the point at which the dialog for tip is presented (before or after CVM check) is a configuration option for the merchant. Keep in mind we are deploying a US solution…

We aren't storing actual card data encrypted or otherwise. As you said, we are a passthrough as far as the payment portion is concerned. We do store a hashed representation of the …

No problem. I've been mostly a lurker on HN for a while but this is the first time being put under the microscope. I apologize if I came off as defensive. This is a product that's …

We are in the process of both PA-DSS for our cloud services and PCI approval for the device. This is the primary reason we are not shipping to merchants until next year. We have li…

I've always felt like it's harder to spy on an LCD screen due to the limited viewing angles as opposed to physical buttons. And the physical layout of the PIN pad should be similar…

A very valid concern. To begin with, while our terminal is Android based we have taken numerous steps to lock this device down. Side loading apks is not possible nor is arbitrary a…

Okay, I'll bite. I'm an employee so you'll have to take what I say with a grain of salt. The video was produced with a cosmetic device and with actors. You're right that the card h…

poynt employee here. you can open the device and insert a new roll of paper without flipping it over or turning off the device.

Has this happened to anyone? What would happen if you showed up and find that your ticket is invalid. I'm guessing it varies by venue but is there any recourse? I can't imagine the…

It was hard sticking to $25 but other than that one investment I was able to remain patient even though it took me almost 6 weeks to invest my full amount. There was just one perso…

I'm sure they do and I hold no ill will toward them. I still feel bad about it though which takes away from how I feel about lending club.

I started in January of this year. It does seem high for sure. I'd like to think I spent a lot of time finding people that had the most to lose when making a decision (mortgage, re…

I went with mostly B/C since they seemed to yield the best return for the risk. Here's the actual breakdown: http://i.imgur.com/egbkFfh.png My charged off one is B and I have an A …

I spent a lot of time handpicking my 200 investments and I'm sitting on a 12.23% (adjusted) return right now. I think by most measures, this would qualify as a good experience. For…

Just in time to go along with their phone that's coming out.

Hmm, it appears you're right. I was coming from a proper P&L perspective: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_and_loss_statement#Usefu...
