Your expectations might have changed. Most users are quite happy with core chatting features. And in the case of Slack those features have become a bit too intrusive and disorganised, so that is one of the selling points of Campfire.

Campfire was originally launched way before Slack though.

> Custom elements aren’t “semantic” because search engines don’t know what they mean.

Lots of good points in this article but I don't think this is an issue. IMHO custom elements shouldn't be used to define content, we have standard elements for that, it should be used for rich interactive components. For example a datepicker. If there is content in the element then I do not see how search engines would interpret it any different than a normal div, or even better the custom elements should define content appropriately such as <my-component><article>text</>

Great work, however noticed this:

Please use data-attributes or another more suitable alternative than id for settings.

I don't disagree but the brand is called 404.

The GDPR is very clear here (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-4-gdpr/). So you must have misunderstood the lawyers you talked to or you are referring about a hash that cannot identify a person. If information can be linked to a person it is considered PII of that person.

Context is irrelevant. What is relevant is whether a value, for example a hash, can be identified to a specific person in some way.

What do you mean, how is there a difference between unsubscribing a newsletter from a EU company than a US company?

Report them to your local DPA. I do not see this so often with big companies but every growth hacking startup send newsletters without consent.

If you need to opt-in to create an account then it is illegal. Yes the discount code for newsletter signup is a result of GDPR consent requirement along with growth hacking technique popularity that is incredibly annoying.

This is exactly why GDPR exists. What you are describing is illegal in the EU. Sending marketing communication requires clear opt in consent.

Sorry to break your bubble but most European countries did not colonise other countries. The most successful ones, Scandinavian countries, did not colonise other countries (well they did internally but not the same way as England and France for example). If you look to Norway we had a social democratic system before we gained the majority of wealth (aka oil).

This is false. Pretty much all personal income is taxed, and definitively dividends. While it might be beneficial for the society to tax assets, any personal income from those assets are taxed in most cases. There are ways to avoid it to a certain extend but if you want a 5 million euros from one of your companies you would pay tax on that. If you want a boat you could set up HireMyBoat Inc and then avoid paying taxes on that 5 mill to pay a boat but still use the boat for vacations (this might be illegal but very rarely enforced).

So you are telling me your kitchen is the same temperature as your fridge?

DNSimple is excellent. I don't recommend using Route53, while their GUI and features are good they charge per DNS query. I had someone trying exploit that and ended up with a 100x higher bill than normal in one month. It is impossible to do anything about it except purchase AWS Shield Advanced which costs $3000 per month.

Yes, only for domain registration. AWS handles DNS.

Cheating what exactly? The US withdrew from the deal. And why do you think there is a difference between Iran having nuclear weapons and US or Israel having it? And do you not see the difference between cooperating with IAEA and not allowing them any access?

Hey warmonger. So which nation should bomb USA which has tons of nukes? What kind of sick reasoning is that? Iran, unlike nations like Israel, has inspections of their nuclear energy facilities by the IEAE.

My experience is that disputes are 100% from Americans who are encouraged by banks to "just do a dispute" anytime they are dissatisfied with anything. And in 100% of these cases it is customers who forgot to cancel or just didn't need the service as much, not really any actual dissatisfaction. Most fraud is stopped by Stripe and not really a big issue, in some cases we do a manual check and it is obvious fraud (no account activity, info not matching, fake data entry etc) and we just refund the charge before any dispute is made.

Can you share some details on the hippies and too small situations with Mangopay?

Yeah that is not even remotely legal in any country with decent consumer protection.

This was previously not possible but looks like they have allowed it now. That is the reason why I had a US USD account in the first place, for Stripe USD payouts. They did not allow USD payouts to any European accounts last time I checked a few years ago, only to US accounts.

The 1% is for all non local currency payouts. Example: "The primary currency for Stripe accounts in France is EUR. All other currencies fall under alternative currencies." "1% Of the payout amount, when you choose to payout in select alternative currencies." Ref https://stripe.com/docs/payouts/alternative-currencies So basically this will result in very expensive payouts for anyone doing USD charges outside US or EUR charges outside Europe. Like many SaaS companies are. Charging any other currency is problematic for many customers so it is not really an option. Like I don't want to be charged in pesos for a SaaS that I am using.

The alternative is to have Stripe convert USD to my local currency. For a small 2% fee.

A dispute is not only for transactions you didn't perform, it is also for situations like not getting the purchased product or similar. So 3DSecure will significantly decrease fraud, not other disputes.

Given that 3DSecure is required for all European cards we should have been seeing lower fees since that requirement. Instead fees are going up.

"Businesses in the EEA who are paying out in USD to a US-domiciled bank account will now incur a 1% fee, with a minimum fee of US$2.50 per payout."

This is absurd. A 1% fee to transfer USD to a USD bank account?

The alternative is to charge in another currency - which Stripe will put a 2% currency fee on.

This is already on top of their expensive transaction costs.

Will actively look for alternatives now.

> Do folks tend to use the browser versions of these apps?

Given that Zoom requires admin rights to install and has had numerous security issues I definitively use the browser version even though they really push their native client.

Nifty extension though.

"2.8.0.1. Fixes file permissions in 2.8.0 release. No code changes."
