Ask HN: Finding a payment provider for subscriptions without having a business

Are there any payment providers that allow to implement subscriptions but also do not require you to have a business? I work as a freelancer and would like to test this simple idea I have that would require users to pay a monthly subscription. All payment providers I've checked seem to want a Business Name. Thank you.P.S. I live in EU.

Ask HN: I tried Deezer's subscription. Now they won't delete my credit card info

I have been using Deezer for a few years now. And recently I decided to try their subscription. I noticed that they store my credit card details and there is no way for me to remove it.I contacted them to delete it, and apparently, they don't do that:https://imgur.com/a/iIAGBwnIn addition, their support is almost non-existent.I live in EU. Is there anything I can do besides requesting to delete...

This. This is so obvious I can't comprehend how people don't realize this.

1. A huge recession like never before happening before 2025.

2. Facebook Libra becomes prevalent. Others (Google, Apple, Microsoft) follow to have their e-coins.

3. AR and/or VR is the smartphone of the 20s.

4. Facebook becomes the most valuable company in the world first to reach a 2T$ valuation.

How much effort do you put in to protect your grandma?

That wasn't my point. And actually I am not sure what are you trying to say with your reply cause it's not related to what I was saying. My point was that those engineers working on those problems have a good impact on economy as a whole. Efficient engaging ads are great for everyone, it's great for growth.

> To me, if I was promised "the most meaningful work of my career" then I was assigned to anti-ad-blocking I wouldn't feel my Facebook career was delivering on that promise.

Then you could easily just quit.

Can you explain what is wrong with engineers working on problems like these?

As I see this, it allows businesses to connect with more people, therefore being more profitable, therefore making economy grow in general.

I just don't understand this hate towards developers who work for companies like FB and Google and whose job is focusing on increasing ad engagement. In my opinion, they definitely provide a hugely positive effect on economy (unless you think capitalism / consumerism is evil / wrong or whatever, which is another topic).

Seriously. I recently came from PHP, and this is one feature I've been missing quite often and a lot.

I've been using them for the last 2 years and had a huge playlist. Is there any way to retrieve the playlist? groovebackup.com just returns "Missing data for playlist"

At the moment, nothing happens, user stays in a group chat.

To get the lowest price:

setInterval(function() { $("#price").val(0); $("#bid-button").click(); }, 100);

:)

I like the idea by the way.
