We really don't.

To prove who you are you need a driving license, or a passport, even if you are not planning on using either for their intended purposes. Both cost money, and if you don't spend extra money (which a lot of people may not have) to get a full driving license, require renewal fees.

Otherwise you need to have x number of documents from 1 list, and y number of documents from another. And hope that you've got them, or bad luck.

It's honestly a nightmare when you get older and places don't even accept a birth certificate and bills going online. A lot of places don't accept PDF printouts of bills too!

Yup. My uncle worked at a bank and had to deal with this quite often.

Even better, at least in the UK, the bank had tools to find out what the subscription was for and whose name it was in,

I'm sure I saw somewhere else that these allegations have only ever appeared on that website. Nowhere else has any other sources,

Apparently now the rules are no adult things, or anything moderately related to adult content now,

Real pain because Stripe are one of the better providers to integrate with :(

It looks like generic filler SEO content 1&1 are trying to do

Yup, they're so expensive and have multiple layers of waste plastic. And I thought twisty ties were bad enough for packaging things

I'm sure this used to be a theme for WordPress at one point? Either way, it's really unusual how Automattic haven't released it to the public

Some of the arguments here reminds me of "Unauthorized Bread" (https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/01/unauthorized-bread-a-...) where, take a fridge. Why would any fridge be allowed to not accept certain brands of milk? But, it is the manufacturer's product and right to do so right?

Sure, when Apple will just sue any competitor for "infringing" on it's millions of stupid software patents

Especially when the card providers move the risk, and therefore part of the cost of the transaction onto the bank. It's up to the bank to make 3D Secure, secure by authenticating the user in it's own way.

Looks really useful, except for people especially in England, Corn Syrup isn't a common ingredient :(

Honestly Django is still fine. It works, and if it lets you build products which work properly, and reliably, why not use it?

And yet there's still no reason why they won't add Web Notifications to iOS Safari.

You don't need to use BootstrapVue at all. For things like Modals just add the appropiate divs and change classes in the same order.

Nice to see a minimal Django-based blog platform!

The only thing I didn't like was Microsoft adding an annoying banner asking me to install some Points extension :(

Not cool putting adverts on your Github pages like that

After seeing quite a few new Git clients, Sublime Merge is still, imho, the easiest to use

I wonder how tihs compares to FUZE https://www.fuze.co.uk/nintendo-switch.html

Don't forget B2 involves putting that data onto multiple hard-drives and ensuring it isn't lost. What if that single disk were to be lost? You're paying Backblaze to ensure that GB can be accessed in the future

> most hospitals are bankrupt for lack of running any profitable procedures

That's a very American problem due to having private hospitals...

I think their blogs are still based off Blogger which hasn't been updated in quite some time. (which they own so they could fix themsleves..)

The asthetic sorta reminds me of Animal Crossing with the envelopes and such. Seems kinda neat

Yup, that's my thing is that they control the entire thing. Although it could be like joke where "AI" ends up being just a bunch of "if statements".

hCAPTCHA looks interesting, although it seems they use Blockchain for no real reason compared to just storing the payments as rows (i.e what they gain from being chained on top of another)

WordPress.

It's open source, easy to use, hostable pretty much everywhere and you can easily export and move your content anywhere.

I'm sure even if Automattic go bust, it'll continue

Yeah, I would have liked to have seen that. Really wish the phone networks were required to blacklist anyone using something similar as the sender though. A few scammers I've seen have been able to use the "GOV_UK" sender string :(

It's better than it used to be. Still, a way off from what it needs to be.

The first version was on Microsoft Dynamics (yes a CRM...) for whatever reason iirc.

Forest Admin looks really nice, but I wish you could host the admin UI yourself. Not a fantastic impression for clients if Forest (for whatever reason) suddenly stops offering it's service and your admin panel vanishes into thin air :(

One of the issues here is that the examples don't add any accessibility hints at all. We really should be encouraging people to add as many as possible!

Annoyingly quite a few say "Worldwide" until you click into them and then it says "must live within x miles of y"
