Both webhooks and looking at your subscription settings are important. Here's some documentation on how to do both.

https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks

https://stripe.com/docs/subscriptions/lifecycle

The webhooks are important because stripe doesn't email you about failed payments you need to do that on your own.

And the default for a 3 time failed subscription over a 15 day period is to remove the subscription which you can easily change to keeping it but labeling it unpaid among other things.
For those not too familiar with professional baseball, there are 162 games in a season. A player starting every game would likely see 600+ at bats. A starting pitcher pitches every 5-6 days and will face 600+ batters per season. League wide there are about 125k outs recorded per season on 700k pitches.

That's a ton of data. It allows you to ask questions like "What is the likelihood that a curveball is thrown for a strike on a 3-0 count in the 8th inning?" and get statistically significant results.
What happens if your user is offline (airplane mode, no data, etc), and can't download the initial bootstrap script? There's no way to avoid an error page at this time, unless you use a browser-specific plugin (the drive offline addon is one of these, but they now use service workers for the same functionality on chrome IIRC).

This is especially useful in non-us, non-eu countries, where people pay a lot for data, relative to their income. Being able to successfully launch and run without any data usage is pretty rad.
Oh also, there are >16000 countries in the select box on the edit person page.

Can you explain why you feel that 20 people being fired as a result of a company-wide investigation into to sexual harassment doesn't constitute evidence of a problem?
To put things in perspective, Hubic's 10 TB plan costs 50€ a year, that's about USD 4.7 a month.

Myki: Cloudless Password Manager and Authenticator
Dang went through and banned a lot of accounts for posts like this yesterday. Heads up.
We don't currently use one, but for people who do use one, could you post roughly how many people you're managing in it? Curious if anyone uses these kinds of tools with small teams.
Factories are the symbol for the unskilled labor earning lives and skilled labor earning decent lives. I never said business results are bad, they are quite good, it's just more and more people falling of the wagon.
It's not a surprising result. You just run out of stack with your infinite
recursion, and shells usually don't perform tail call optimization.
Those things are inherently mechanical, so there will always be a last visual step before production. That does not mean people don't try to push non-visual tool as far as they can.

My favorite math professor would ensure he taught to and beyond the homework. He always had the toughest homework - but he managed to keep it accessible. Then the tests were based on the same sort of questions and material - but easier. Somehow most of my professors at that college got that mixture wrong. They would seemingly get bored with the topics and decide to throw out curveballs everywhere.
DISCO Announces New Artificial Intelligence Platform for EDiscovery
I agree with this comment as it applies to the general tech ecosystem here, but Sparkfun might actually be exempt from this because it is legitimately a very cool place to just be around... But that said yeah, it is very apparent that too many companies here are coasting on the general area's appeal. We're just starting to hit the point where that won't cut it anymore, and I think a lot of companies that have gotten by on quality talent at cut rate prices due to the lack of competition and the inherent desirability of the area are in for a serious rude awakening.

Salaries are already starting to rapidly increase (more than they already were) in Boulder just with the announcement of companies like Google moving large offices here and it's been very disconcerting to see companies resort to the same tactics used by Bay Area companies to circumvent paying people (company commuter busses so you can live in more affordable areas, $500 ski passes instead of $5k raises, free food, etc etc). This area can't really even bank on the usual scam of promising big exists since those are much more rare in these parts. Watching the economics of the whole situation has been very interesting, especially when you see that they're only going to make many of the social problems we're dealing with much much worse.
Apparently, California's prison guard union (CCPOA) has a history of lobbying against measures that would reduce the prisoner population and/or reduce state spending on prisons:

1994: With the help of CCPOA’s $101,000 support, Californians passed Proposition 184, the nation’s toughest three-strikes law mandating 25-years-to-life sentences for most felony offenders with two previous serious convictions.

2000: The CCPOA contributes at least $75,000 to the opponents of Proposition 36, the 2000 initiative that replaced incarceration with substance abuse treatment for certain nonviolent offenders.

2004: The CCPOA spends over $1 million to defeat Prop 66, the initiative that would have limited the crimes that triggered a life sentence under the Three Strikes law.

2005: The CCPOA defeats Governor Schwarzenegger’s plan to “reduce the prison population by as much as 20,000, mainly through a program that diverted parole violators into rehabilitation efforts: drug programs, halfway houses and home detention.”

2008: The CCPOA contributes $2 million to Jerry Brown’s gubernatorial campaign. The CCPOA contributes $1 million against Prop 5, a measure to reduce prison overcrowding by providing treatment rather than prison sentences for nonviolent drug users.

Bubble Memory!

It was started by Bell Labs although toward the end IBM was one of the last groups pushing it.

In a way bubble memory is so simple. A strong magnetic field can "push around" magnetic domains on a piece of tape or whatever without flipping the bits if you get it just right. The two fundamental tricks that make it an engineering project that was successful for awhile are that its possible to build a thin film and some other components so stable and linear that you can push thousands, even millions of magnetic domains around without screwing them up, and superficially you would feel that electromagnetic stuff is all speed of light but moving magnetic domains can happen at just the right speed that you can read out a bubble memory using 1970s TTL logic, not too fast and not too slow. It was quite temperature sensitive like all magnetic things.

It died as a technology because it only scaled over a factor of a thousand or so in an exciting computational era of changes much faster than now, where an order of magnitude only lasted a year or so at most.

It couldn't have been done five years earlier, there was a very narrow window for it between TTL type logic finally being fast enough to read the bits as they flew by vs just a few years later simple static ram and eprom would store the same amount faster and simpler.

It was kind of like a no-moving parts delay line that relied the speed of magnetic domain flipping being predictable repeatable and a useful speed.

Bitsavers has some fun reads on ancient hardware technology. You can read IBM manuals as the technology was advancing, pretty interesting stuff. DEC also.
I buy RaspberryPi stuff and cheeses that are made in Britain. I also have a nice vintage Burberry trench coat that I treasure. I'm not sure what all they make there. The article talks about "manufacturing jobs" without any examples. Examples for such an article, especially including changes that exemplify the claims of the article that manufacturing is down, would be really nice.
Great question. Ask about age diversity. What is the average age of employees. You can ask for a range to give you a better idea. Also ask about maternity and paternity leave - this will tell you how much thought has been put into the care and personal lives of the people that are working for the company.

Ask about their core values, but ask for examples of how employees embody those values in their daily interactions and their work. How are those values reflected in a manager's leadership style? Ask if they have a public harassment policy. Ask if staff has gone through bias and/or harassment training, or has there been any company-wide discussion around such things. Also ask if you'd be able to speak to other women at the company (someone who is not interviewing you) about their experience working at the company. Equally as important, ask to meet other members of the team you will be working with and see how they are with you (especially male colleagues) to get a sense of if they speak to you or treat with you respect. Have a technical conversation with them (outside interview so the power dynamic is equalized). Remember, you are interviewing them just as much as they are interviewing you. A good recruiter will treat this like a two way sell, because that's what it is.
Seems like a reasonable question. Here's my answer:

Let's say you have a database table with two columns. One is an ID, and the other is a random integer. You want to be able to go through and find a particular integer by value, such as SELECT id,randomint from t WHERE randomint=4 (4 gotten by xkcd random dice roll, of course).

Now, if you had just a list of these integers, and they weren't sorted you'd have to scan through them all one at a time. This is called a table scan, and it can be slow.

Imagine if you had another list, that had the same values from the table, but they were sorted in the order of the values, rather than table order. Now you'd be able to do all the sorted array tricks, such as binary search, starting from the beginning, starting from the end, etc. This means you can find it faster. The index can also be smaller than the table, because you only have to store the parts you are indexing. But of course, there are performance tradeoffs, because you are increasing the size on disk, and it takes time to modify the index when modifying the table. (This is why some DB upgrades drop indexes then add them back after doing a lot of activity)
B-tree (balanced however you like), or a sorted list of elements, or a skip list of sorted elements. You could also do a hash table of elements if there aren't too many unique elements i.e. O(sqrt(totalElems)

Those are the traditional things I can come up with. I couldn't tell you how to balance a B-tree, just that red-black trees are apparently great for it. I couldn't tell you which database uses what, and I wouldn't dare claim my list is complete.

I'd say the question is so open as to be unclear.
And I really liked the air quality when I was in Beijing two weeks ago. But that was a fluke. Most of the times, things aren't as rosy.

I don't think I was forced to develop critical thinking in a systematic way until my PhD, where I actually had to produce ideas that would withstand scrutiny by both professional scientists and experiments. I went to a magnet high school and then a liberal arts college and the emphasis seemed largely on preparing for tests at both places. It is probably true that I could have developed my thinking more at an earlier stage if I had been more self-motivated. Needless to say, the PhD was a painful experience.

One note, in location the defaults are "Province" and "Postal code" with country at US by default. I haven't tried but if you have any kind of data validation for those inputs it may annoy some of your US users.

I sometimes stumble on some site that only allow five numbers for zip codes and not the six alphanumeric characters we use for postal codes.

I would change "Postal code" to "ZIP" and "Province" to "State" if someone selects US as a country.
I for one would like a class action lawsuits against printer companies and the government for wasting my money on yellow toner.
Agreed, I gave up on bicycling when I moved outside the Boulder green belt. Boulder has a ton of cyclists but, for whatever reason, refuses to build proper bike lanes. The major roads in/out of Boulder barely have shoulders in places. California, by contrast, has proper bike lanes everywhere--seriously, even Central Expressway in the bay area is safer to bike on than any of the major roads going in/out of Boulder.

I switched to a motorcycle as a result, and while it doesn't have the health benefits of bicycling, it's a good way to commute.
Thanks! I do appreciate the nice comment!

About the name, well, to be honest, I just didn't think about it for long. I do realize now how it might affect some people, and I do regret this choice.
You're being extremely rude. It's hard to make absolutely definitive statements on an incredibly complex and often perverse system like custodial sentencing without resorting to the opaque technical language of legal journals. That is rarely appropriate for a casual discussion forum like HN.

As the other poster actually has first-hand experience of being incarcerated, your dismissive tone in response to some loose phrasing comes off as both nasty and ridiculous.
Nah, profiling is no good. Probably a better idea to work on a solid recruiting process that can shake out practitioners of bad behavior from the candidate pool. Then you can handle it and more.

Actually, European countries are not nearly as diverse as the USA with the exception of the UK. The best analysis I can find on the subject is [1]. I disagree with the point I think chrshawkes is making but the diversity claim is valid.

Since you were talking about Germany and jobs being a means of distributing wealth of sorts, what do you think about the taxes? Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium all have some very high taxes on high earners compared to the US and UK, and more importantly, the progressive tax thresholds are much better adjusted for poor and middle class people to have more disposable income. Germany even has a solidarity tax on top of the normal income tax, which also goes into the country's budget. Correct me if I'm wrong.

And for some reason, these countries' rich people actually do pay their taxes for the most part, instead of hiding them using various means. That's either because of the education or the culture, I don't know.
Aluminum is normally bound up tightly with other elements and not part of the biosphere until we began to mine and develop products from it that introduced it there.
Depending on municipality you may be able to report the pothole directly. Assuming you already haven't been proactive in that manner it may be a way to nudge things into action.
Are we really at the point in society if someone asks a coworker out on a date its sexual harassment? I imagine the answer to that is whether she said yes or not. Rule #1 ... be attractive.
"just let all the information wash over you" is one of the things that I think is required of someone that thinks well. I find that too many people either accept or (worse) reject information immediately without considering it. In that state, you either can't think critically about new information, or your old information, depending. I think the inability to look at "facts" and consider them unreliable is one thing that keeps people from being able to think well.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone learned something 20 years ago and absolutely refuses to accept that it might be wrong, simply because someone in authority taught it to them.

Authority means nothing in the end, and memories fail.

Germany, 1933. But that's not to discredit your main point. I agree.
Have you considered the ability to "Share" a Contact? For example, if my Wife wants to share the info she collected about our niece?

Or is the entire idea that each person is logging a unique POV or set of information about someone, rather than the system gravitating towards there being a single, cultivated profile about each person that is shared around?

(right now it's kind of the anti social media -- which seems like a refreshing take. Just curious if that's on purpose)

I remember that. IIRC, the draw of the "surfer dude" wasn't just that he was a surfer, but that he lived out of his van, was a mathematician or physicist, and basically just traveled around surfing and doing theoretical math when he wasn't surfing. It's fairly easy for a lot of people to romanticize that.

I don't recall whether I read about him, or watched a Ted talk, or both, but a good portion of the time when I read "unified theory" some recollection of that story comes back. I'm sure it helped that a very dumbed down version could be understood almost purely through visual aids with pretty colors and symmetry. ;)

1. These are stack-neutral: they let "cloud orchestrator" software plug one service into another by starting up Instance B and then opening the firewall port on Existing Instance A to talk to it, without having any ability to talk to or manage Existing Instance A, let alone knowledge of what it would have to say. Existing Instance A might be a Windows Server instance, or some custom unikernel; this approach would still work.

2. Depending on how they've implemented this, traffic that hits their firewall and bounces off might not be counted toward your bandwidth bill (presuming there's any part of DO's services that bills for bandwidth.) Once the traffic is served to your instance, they can't know whether your instance's OS firewall has just thrown it away, so they have to assume it hasn't and bill you for that. SDN-level firewalls enable "automatic DDoS protection"-type services, where you receive (and get charged for!) regular traffic, but not malicious traffic.
Tell me about it... I'm sick and tired of the trope that Boulder is just white people from the coasts when it's actually wealthy people from the coasts, and Wisconsin.

I have a hard time imagining self-driving cars merely negotiating the traffic I drive in each day much less deal with the myriad foreign policy and security issues that have led us to this point in time. Imagine the lawsuits if it can ever be proved that a murder was committed by someone hacking an automobile--and I do suspect it has already happened. The drive-by-wire gas pedal and shifter in my car cause me concern. We need better low-tech kill switches and backup mechanisms and way less reliance on fancy tech.

Also, there is no connection between "hacking" the CAN bus in today's cars and doing anything like providing access to adjust the A/C blower level in some future self-driving livery mobile. Why anyone would think there would be even the remotest connection between how CAN bus works today and how some future consumer-oriented interface would work demonstrates dangerous naviete.
It doesn't help that many developers are introduced to the basics of Unicode by a popular Joel on Software article from 2003, which recommended the use of wchar_t. [1]

It was a very important article for 2003, but it should be honorably retired.

Its plan of action isn't as good as the modern "UTF-8 Everywhere", and even its motivating examples are becoming less relevant: when was the last time you went to the 'Encoding' menu in your web browser and guessed which codepage the page author meant to use? When was the last time you worried about whether your e-mail was 7-bit clean?
