>> The un-competitiveness of the south was subsidized by the EU for decades

And one way of subsidizing them was through Euro currency. Bonds of Italy, Greece, Spain, etc. had lower interest rates in Euro that they would have if they were in their own currencies. Many financial institutions had just blindly been buying them as "EU bonds", without paying much attention which country they came from.
I don't own a SaaS or eCommerce company, but I would be wary of a company owned by PayPal. It might be that the increased availability and PayPal integration is worth the risk, but it's something I would weigh pretty heavily against Braintree.
You know, I just realized that I really miss pasties after a night out when I don't have them around. And let's not forget that English cheese can be spectacular!

'Hate your team' is a little too strong, I think. I may dislike some of their working habits, and I think our code quality would be higher if we took code review seriously (I've been told to not hold back PR approval even on issues like not putting braces on single line if statements - if it runs, it's "good enough"; I'm also the only one to ever write tests). Implementing less isn't an option because we have a hard deadline

I see what you're saying in your last point, but on that particular sprint, someone didn't want to do something they had assigned to themselves and pulled in a different story/ticket. I have no issues picking up anything that is still unassigned, and I had mentioned during the daily that I was available if anyone needed help with anything. No one got back to me and I honestly didn't know until later that day that the other story/ticket hadn't even been started. I don't think I should have to talk to individual developers to see if they need help; we're adults and if you can't manage your workload or can't communicate that then I don't have a solution for you

You can search HN and find this question many times.

My 2 cents, I don't trust any company owned by Paypal as Paypal has a very strange, aggressive and non-transparent and inflexible process to holding funds from businesses, charities etc (even after providing all the extra "evidence" they ask for).

Stripe has a lot of advantages, API being a huge one. I have heard of a few people that complain about delays in responses from them, but at least for me I have never had that. In fairness too, 99% of the time the answers I have needed are in their documentation.

If I were you, no matter who you choose to integrate, I'd encapsulate it behind your own payment "service" so that even if you have to switch or you need to add more then one (highly recommended), then you can. Some will argue this is overkill, but I have done a lot of payment integrations, with specific banks, First Data and Stripe, Paypal etc. Having it encapsulated means a little more design but a lot less breakage and lets you minimize risk if a vendor decides to shut you down or freeze funds etc.

IMO if you are accepting payments you should already have encapsulated your payment vendor, as a real risk to business continuity exists if they decide to freeze your ability to charge or like Paypal freeze funds during charge back windows etc.
> Understandable, but wasn't this always going to be inevitable given people treating BTC as an investment for USD instead of as a crypto currency?

Fundamentally inevitable, no — there's no inherent reason for countries to care about the movement of currency — but practically inevitable, yes. As long as we have such financial 'crimes' as money laundering (which is only against the law because it's easier to prove than the real crimes it's designed to hide), we're going to have KYC requirements and all the rest of the incumbent-protection measures which make it so hard to have a financial startup.
It is considered a serious problem by many, being a key part of the whole replication crisis. The idea that studies need to be preregistered is slowly gaining ground I feel.
free to play, with no gameplay restrictions is an excellent model. when you can then do IAP to get "extras", it's a great "pay what you feel it is worth" type model.

another mobile game, Vainglory, does this with currency to unlock heros and skins. you can play the game to earn currency to get them, or just purchase outright.
I've used Braintree for about a year in a mid-sized ecommerce situation. Not a single complaint to be had. I find the API very easy to work with, and the support to be very responsive. They have a nice drop-in payment form with built-in support for PayPal.

On the surface level, Stripe seems to offer more in the way of open source and integrations (POS, Analytics, etc..https://stripe.com/docs/integrations)
Also consider what complimentary services you may need: Automated dunning, receipts / billing history management, sales tax calculations, subscription analytics, accounting integration, etc. Personally I found that the ecosystem around Stripe is better, and there's many great options for all of the above.

The technical criticisms here are not really directed at Snap, but at the trade-offs inherent to the sandboxed-application packaging model in general.

Speaking as day-to-day desktop Linux user, a working sandboxed-app model would be a BIG improvement over rpms and debs. I would LOVE to be able to install any version of any application, or multiple versions, independently of OS and library versions, without having to compile from source code, grapple with conflicting dependencies, etc.

Are there any F/LOSS alternatives to Snap that are as widely used and tested? If there aren't any, Snap is really our "least worst" alternative.
I always thought that there in fact is two or more kinds of money, but for another reason. It is strange that we pay for irreplacable natural resources with same money which we pay for easily copyable information.
You're absolutely right about the dichotomy with respect to perception.

In my original comment, I was going to post "perception is reality" because perception, default thinking, and other heuristics underpin so much of what constitutes discrimination.

This is, of course, absolutely unfair, but most of us at least have a chance to shape how others perceive us. In the end, it's surprising how much the "little, superficial" things matter in that respect.
Heirloom varieties have unique characteristics which vary widely, and are definitely more difficult to grow than the mainstream hybrids (as well as often lower yielding per square meter). People who grow good ones should be rewarded, they're worth seeking out.
If you think Braintree's docs are bad, you probably haven't had to implement Authorize.net!

Oh, but food is not even close in the share of expenses. Food is cheap, and hunger is very rarely something to fear of in civilized societies.

> Perhaps most surprising of all: discount big-box stores such as Costco, Trader Joe’s, BJ’s Wholesale Club and Walmart are as stringent with their standards as Whole Foods.

That's not really all that surprising: they are large enterprises and have the economies of scale to ensure that they are selling authentic food.

What I'd like to see is police resources directed away from the War on Some Drugs and towards this sort of fraud, which is an actual crime with actual victims.
This is why eggs in Denmark (as of my last visit) cost approximately 1.5x to 2.0x as much as eggs in the USA.

There is a cost to having free-range eggs. There's a cost to controlling egg-quality so they can remain unwashed, and unrefrigerated for days.

Now in the US, you can choose if you want to pay that cost and thus shop at different supermarkets that cater to your tastes. In the EU countries, you must pay the cost because its mandated by the government.

If you'd prefer blander food, that requires more refrigeration, and deeper cooking because its inexpensive... you can't make that choice. It's taken away from you by the government.

> Its about not getting ripped off.

I did mention Manila. And much of Thailand, and...well, Bali is pretty honest. Uber is a huge stress reliever in those places, where taxis can be outright dangerous! Forget about the US, I've been stuck at MNL at 2 AM in the morning and would kill for an Uber app (if it existed at the time).

But I totally agree with your point. A convenient feedback mechanism is quite nice, along with a GPS based meter that shows the route taken.

This is because it's only an average not a real fact. Some people pay more, some people pay less. When you can't have more than 25K in a year, you don't pay income. If you have million you don't pay because you are smarter and can escape the tax... or at least fix it with a flat tax of 15%. Medium class pay the most but this is hidden, hidden in all the small tax.

This unfortunately reads like a hit piece with no information of Snap at all. It's like the author did not even install Snap raising questions about the premise and purpose of the article. Where is the good, bad and ugly?

For instance branding Ubuntu initiatives like Snap or Mir as 'NIH' and leaving Redhat supported ones like XDG, Flatpak, Systemd etc is itself an act of politics and manipulation.

This leaves little room for informed discussion. Linux is heavily politicised with tons of vested interests and thousands of folks and projects sponsored by or in the employment of various players.

Maybe its time to stop tiptoeing around the politics and let it out in the open so there can be more informed discussion and less of the simplistic PR driven fantasy narratives like 'fedora is independent but Ubuntu is not' that this article pushes.
Don't look on Wikipedia when you want to know the consensus on a debated topic. It's notoriously bad at updating itself once new information has been found that contradicts a previous consensus and it also often presents one when there really isn't.
But it's not significant in the domain this thread is focused on. In order to lose signal to an rival in this scenario, the delay between your Order A hitting Exchange A and your Order B hitting Exchange B would need to be sufficient to give the rival time to learn the signal, and then to act on it. At a minimum, that is half the cost of the round-trip time between the Exchange A colo and the Exchange B colo. So long as you're not introducing such substantial delays in your order dispatch, you're fine.
Pure ideology. Class-divided society is bad, and your dishonest valorization of it here doesn't change that simple fact.

If we're so interested in incentivizing people to become more productive, why not outlaw income from land and capital to force the idle rich back into productive work instead of allowing them (and their descendants) to live off "free stuff"?
The general idea that an existing module or component can be changed by injecting additional behavior has been originally developed within aspect-oriented programming (AOP). And then this idea has been implemented in various frameworks like Spring (yet, not in its original form).

Sure, just like how maize grown outside of the Americas is 'fake' and all of those tomatoes that posters upthread have been raving about are 'fake'. There is a difference between a varietal which a region was initially known for (and which early trading used as a tag for that varietal) and something which can at least make a minor claim regarding the region producing some flavour component which makes it unique.

Politics are quite important to do right and politics is different from NIH. The article notes two important things:

1) Canonical wanting to do big announcements. This causes problems if you want to work with communities. They'll try and work and get support, but one person per distribution isn't the same as working with the entire community. So when the announcement implies that there's broad support, the communities feel like it is a big lie. That'll destroy the willingness to cooperate.

2) Canonical likes to keep control. E.g. the CLA. Canonical has special rights nobody else will have. Companies don't like this at all, it changes the working together into helping a competitor. It doesn't make business sense. Canonical tries to solve things by e.g. saying you keep the copyright, but that is just ignoring the actual issue. This CLA has been an issue for various Canonical projects for many years. An "we might change this" I don't trust.
Similarly, Canonical rolled this out while the code only supports the Canonical proprietary app store. Someone else now made a open/free source (not sure which) store, but at the moment the experience quite assumes just one app store.

Those two things together make people want to refrain from spending time (doesn't matter much if they're paid or not).

Note: I'm biased and I like Flatpak as well as AppImage. I don't see the problem in having multiple standards. Canonical is IMO very good at having a great Ubuntu experience. They're (again IMO) terrible at doing cross distribution work due to reasons explained above.

I tried the pomodoro technique multiple times, and it failed. The reason for its failure was the lack of emphasis on setting up the right atmosphere.

Now a pomodoro (I use Productivity Planner, made by the guys who made 5 Minute Journal, so I keep track of my pomodoros) doesn't "count" unless I check everything off of the pomodoro prep checklist.

1. Airplane Mode / Turn Cellular Data Off (for urgent calls)

2. Freedom app (blocks websites)

3. Music (atmospheric, mostly)

4. Sign & Lights (let people know I am working, and have the right lighting)

5. Snacks & Tea / Energy Drink

6. Water

Then I lock the door, start the timer, and off I go.

Ever since I created this checklist, I have rarely been disrupted from my work. Sharpening the saw is quite important to saving willpower.
