Almost no chargeback will ever go to arbitration though. So it's not like this new fee is the reason behind the change. Patrick Collison is (probably) just exploiting his position …

I think it's more about running up the legal bill of the defendant. It costs virtually nothing to include a spurious claim in a complaint (it can literally be a sentence or two). T…

That's been the case for a long time. I made a big stink about not being able to fill out my census survey to my congresswomen. It got nowhere.

This post caught my attention because I do the same thing! Yes, it absolutely works.

I would agree. I'm the defendant in a (frivolous) trademark infringement case and my firm (which does work for the EFF) averages about 2 hours per (substantial) page, at a rate of …

1. Is it possible to cancel without contacting support? 2. Is it possible to refund the last charge within 3-7 days if the account hasn't been used (without contacting support)? 3.…

Small businesses do not routinely send pennies to the UAE. Countries do not have unlimited resources to chase after you. The law cannot be universally enforced, so the government h…

Can you share which company your $5m policy is with? I'm considering umbrella coverage, and $25/month is a crazy good deal.

If you are the target of automated copyright trolling, inspect your server logs whenever you get a notice. Some troll bots will (surprisingly) use an honest HTTP user agent so you …

Careful. Southwest is litigious about this. https://paloaltoonline.com/news/2012/10/23/stanford-grads-we... See also Southwest v Boardfirst https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/…

I've done this a few times, and was pleasantly surprised it actually worked. It's a lot easier than going to court.

Someone tell this to the US Census Bureau please. They send you threatening letters demanding you fill out a survey ("Your response is REQUIRED by law"), but then block every non-U…

> Friedman wrote, “implies that government is the patron, the citizen the ward, a view that is at odds with the free man’s belief in his own responsibility for his own destiny.” (O…

The secret is JiffyShirts.com (or any other blank wholesaler). You can buy 3 or 4 tees for the price of one from a normal store. Buy a bunch of different "models", try them on, see…

Indeed. The problem may even be worse with other systems. There are other trivial ways to prevent unsophisticated card testing. For example, I have a card tester who visits my chec…

My opinion: It isn't worth it to do anything (especially because you only have a common law trademark). Even if you had the federal trademark, it might not even be worth it. A trad…

I was down for 10 minutes (almost exactly). But it's back up now.

> Ultimately, the court’s CalECPA analysis proved fatal to the defendants’ case. Despite ruling the warrant violated the Fourth Amendment, the court refused to suppress the evidenc…

That window between the last two steps is a killer. PayPal Checkout supports iDeal, and I get complaints about how PayPal took their money, but their account (on my system) was nev…

I switched to Porkbun after Namecheap threatened to disable my domain in 24 hours when some shady reputation management company (izoologic) claimed a page on my site was phishing. …

Filing a complaint with the Washington AG has worked wonders for me: https://fortress.wa.gov/atg/formhandler/ago/ComplaintForm.as... Logitech, Kaiser and Capital One all suddenly c…

Moving to another domain will make things worse (at least, for a while). New domains are flagged as suspicious just because they're new. I suppose you could prime the domain before…
