For those who were perhaps intrigued, as I was--here is a bit more information I found through a cursory search about how Airbus's consensus system works. Interesting stuff. [0][1]

Indeed, Sampson's retraction is published here: https://www.grsampson.net/ACsa.html
> DeFrancis’s argument to this effect turns on examination of an example quoted in Sampson (1985: 28‑9) of purported complex semasiography, the ‘Yukaghir love letter’. I had taken this example from a well-known book on writing, Diringer (n.d.: 35), and I retailed Diringer’s explanation of it without trying to check this. DeFrancis has done the discipline a considerable service by investigating the history of the example in detail, and it turns out to be something rather different from what Diringer and I described, and arguably not an example of ‘communication’ at all.
It seems nearly certain that this image is not what it was presented to be.

Yes, looking at the network requests I also get this error fairly consistently by the third or fourth batch:
> {"ApiResponse":{"$":{"Status":"ERROR"},"Errors":[{"Error":[{"_":"Too many requests","$":{"Number":"500000"}}]}],"Server":[""],"GMTTimeDifference":[""],"ExecutionTime":["0"]}}
Which then results in "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined".
Cool idea, though!
Unrelated to today's announcement, but curious if you could share a bit about your origins in "making a new credit card from scratch" at all: forming a relationship with a bank, card network, etc.
How difficult was it to even enter the space at all - any top takeaways or learnings? Non-obvious struggles you may have had to overcome?
