So they tell us that in order for their scan to pass, we need to disable all of the security measures that are currently protecting the server. Ha, what could they possibly be scanning for, malware? The sad thing is that I'm sure companies are doing that.
It's probably a PCI compliance scan. They check for a lot of things like (basic) XSS, CSRF, insecure versions of PHP/Apache, unprotected folders named "admin/", backup files which could leak source code, and so on. It's mostly just for show, but can catch some stupid mistakes. Typically you'll have to whitelist their servers so that they don't trip your firewall/IDS/whatever.
Would an open source app not be PCI compliant?

It truly is mind-boggling there aren't more companies doing that. Having even one employee dedicated to answering questions for an hour when a thread pops up in a remotely popular place is so beneficial: - It is directly helpful to users and casts a good light on your company - It makes the company look more human and composed of actual people, rather than automatons (think Google) - It provides a way to clear up pot…
The reason more companies don't do that is liability. Saying the wrong thing is 10x worse than saying nothing at all.
Am I the only one who's interested in seeing how this plays out because I'm sceptic about people buying not even 0.1% of the time they "like" something?
It would be exactly the same thing like with fb ads and fb pages. Some people just complain and complain about everything, other are just quietly crushing it.

People are not going to buy what they "like". They are going to buy what they truly like in real life. Something they think is very cool, perhaps haven't seen it anywhere else. It would be exactly the same thing like with fb ads and fb pages. Some people just complain and complain about everything, other are just quietly crushing it.
Because the people who were crushing it with Twitter, you know, it turned out to be just bullshit (the revolution in Iran, Dell, Zappos, for example). Thanks.

"If [founder and CEO of multi-billion dollar startup] from Stripe is watching the thread . . ."
Stripe is so popular with developers because they are laser-focused on providing an excellent experience for the developers. This includes personally responding to every single HN post about Stripe I've ever seen.
They haven't responded to any of my questions posted here. My email question was left unanswered as well.
I guess if you are building a service catered to customers from a very small asian country and currency which they say they support/accept, you are SOL.
I love Stripe's design and ease of API implementation but when they don't answer a simple question about a foreign exchange fee, I have no choice but to go with a local company who replies and even calls you to help you with setup and answering questions.

I'd love to have a list of people or companies who are crushing it with FB content marketing (not FB ads, which is different). Could you please help me with that?
