Stripe already did recurring billing without a 1% though
I have this with my current employer. The problem I see si that when I ask for time off, it feels like I'm asking for a favor. Might just be my superiors. I kind of wish it were more like "I have x number of days off left for the year, I'd like to take some of those in October." I still get a generous amount of time off each year, but it's awkward every time I make the request.

edit: Check out mrguyorama's comment. They said what I was trying to say in a much better way.
And a lot of people (people who think they are Jews and also people who think they are non-Jews) are genetically mixed Ashkenazi with non-Ashkenazi.

And Ashkenazi happens one of the "tightest" ethnicities in the connected part of the modern world (Europe, America), since it is historically-long-insular low-population subgroup living within a large population.

Just received an Email saying this "replaces Stripe Subscriptions", what does that mean exactly? e.g. what happens with our existing Customers and their active subscriptions?

IMO this is a poor communication and confusing announcement with lots of open/unanswered questions for existing Customers, which is unlike what I've come to expect from Stripe.
Does this mean I can still create classic subscriptions (that are free of the 0.4% surcharge) and process them myself?

Edit: The answer is no.

This announcement has burnt through a lot of goodwill that’s accumulated over the years. Not cool!
Hey everyone, author here. Hope you enjoy!
Start your kids on Scratch and take them to a local coder dojo. I volunteer at one at our library. It's a lot of fun.

I agree.

When scrolling to the bottom of the article the last thing I expected was the entire content of said article to be replaced by headlines of other stories from TC.

Viewing the article in portrait mode on desktop displays the main contents on the left 50% and complete whitespace on the right 50%.

Overall the TC redesign is god-awful and has degraded usability substantially.
Right, Subscriptions only has, IIRC, per-tier type of pricing. I need per-usage for my product, and was doing manual Stripe payments. But that meant if I wanted to change the pricing I would need to keep track of what customer was at what price point on my end. I'm interested to see if Billing is flexible enough to handle my use-case.
Liechtenstein Is Going to Incorporate New Crypto Friendly Regulations
The parent already covered your whole objection in their comment "but your backend is in Rust rather than JavaScript, and the user navigates to the app from their browser." -- and went to provide even more context and info that shows they perfectly know the distinction.

The parent's point is not that it's like Electron in that it bundles a browser, but that it's like Electron in that it allows you to bundle a web application into an executable.

The difference is that it doesn't include the rendering engine along.
Switched to a threadripper 1950 and used ecc memory and an nvme drive. Fastest computer I could build at the moment, cost less than half of a worse Mac,even with a 34 inch curved widescreen.

How is this any different than the subscriptions they previously offered? And what do services like Recurly do that Stripe subscriptions don't? And when is Stripe going to automatically handle sales tax?
I'm planning to setup Hubzilla as a forum/wiki for my local radio group and local tech community. Hubzilla might not have everything right (I would prefer the scuttlebut/patchwork approach), but it definitely checks most boxes for me. The key one being Nomadic identity - they can export everything they've ever posted and upload it to another server. This is really crucial (not for my club, but for other groups). Hubzilla also federates with ostatus, diospara, gnusoc, frendica, mastadon, and others.

Hubzilla only has a few thousand users. In a social media world, that's a rounding error. So my thought is that people should setup Hubzilla for a targeted group. Get an active community of dozens or possibly hundreds of people, and if they like the platform, encourage them to invite other people and start additional communities. Or find communities through the federation.

Banks don't pay the cost of point of sale fraud -- retailers do.

It sounds like a way for employers to cut benefits/costs.

If you have PAID vacation, that you accrue, then that's something you get, regardless if you take it or not (of course there are usually caps on how much you can accrue).
If it's "unlimited", I guess that means there's no accrual, and if you take no (or minimal) vacation and leave, your vacation benefits were effectively reduced.

I think "unlimited" vacation is a gimmick to sound generous. If you want to offer a generous vacation policy, then stand behind it as an actual paid benefit. Offer it as paid vacation, and if the employee doesn't take that much while they work for you, then hopefully they use that banked paid time to take a break between jobs.

Ah, that's a good explanation as to why zserge/webview recommends serving using ephemeral ports.

Also, wanted to pull in from the readme: webview supports interacting with the javascript environment directly, so a web server isn't strictly required.
Well shit. As a man, I have to admit that I do this more than I'd like to admit. My assumption still tends to be that a comment is by a man. I'm not sure if that's statistically likely to be true, but I have to admit that I do.

Have you considered "screen time" not being totally un-regulated? I.e. separating "ipad time" and "ubuntu time?"

I pay cash at restaurants and many other people still use cash over credit cards. How would you integrate these patrons? Could I still leave my cash on the table and leave? What about people without smart phones (of whom there are still quite a few)? What happens if someone’s phone runs out of charge while at dinner? What happens when grandparent wants to take grandkid out for lunch and realizes s/he needs to download an app in order to pay? On a smartphone that s/he may not have? Or with a very limited data plan that won’t allow them to download the app at the restaurant?

I agree there is always room for improvement, but the system now isn’t so broken that it needs a technology driven “disruption” that you are describing.

I would personally not be interested in downloading yet another payment app with questionable security practices.

>caused them to move on, so did the pro users and developers

Wasn't there a statistic from github recently, that 75% of the PRs created in 2017, were done from Macs?
They are bigger in the market for devs then ever before, the thing is, that the majority of this peer group is totally fine with a MBP.
I see this whole new MacPro story more as a marketing campaign, the driving factor behind this is not the demand from the market, it's only for their long-term reputation.
If you can’t use shared cookies, then you need something like oAuth. Ultimately there needs to be some sort of authentication token in the HTTP request/response. Where that token comes from is up to you, but it certainly should not come from the client.

> Those are both still VMs? Latest android looks like ART + JIT, but you can't AOT a JIT (that's the whole point of doing it Just In Time)?

Dalvik was a JIT VM. Then, for Android 5.0 (Lollipop), Android moved to AOT compile code (On installation and ROM upgrade, which is why if you ever updated Android then, you'd be sitting and waiting for a few minutes while Android optimized apps).

Then recently (I don't remember if it was for Marshmallow or Nougat) Android went back to a JIT VM on install, followed by a background AOT compile. This way installation goes faster (it doesn't have to compile everything right away), ROM upgrades go way faster (you don't have to AOT compile tens to hundreds of apps before being able to use your phone), and Android can do guided optimization during AOT (it knows which hot-paths were taken).
Sure, because fully thought out solutions like Python 3 do wonders to keep the community united.

Either one replaces the engines in mid-flight, or parks the plane with perfect thought out solution.
> The Department's [FBI's] blind faith in technologists’ ability to build a secure backdoor on encrypted phones

Hasn't it been show time and again that, on any sort of reasonable timescale, there is no such thing as a secure backdoor? Governments wanting one to exist cannot change the nature of software, especially with the current pentesters out there. If such a backdoor exists, someone will find it.
Wally Rhines of Mentor Graphics recently discussed the need for simulation testing for autonomous vehicle systems. He quoted the CEO of Toyota as saying that 9 billion miles of testing would be required, and pointed our that would take 300 cars, driving 60 miles per hour, 24 hours a day for 50 years. He argues that the only way to achieve that level of testing is (therefore) simulation.
Having used Chargebee for a long time I would say that this problem space is much larger than it first appears. There are a lot of boxes to tick before a solution like this does all the stuff you’ll need it to (but have no idea about).
If one's understanding of _part_ of a system increases to enable manipulation of that part of the system, but one's ignorance of the effects of that change in the broader system remains, meaning that the increase in understanding has led to an increase in unexpected effects in the broader system, has one's overall understanding increased, or decreased?

Not sure if that's too abstract, but your statement that "the world has been significantly less predictable since the Enlightenment" made me wonder, because you'd think "less predictable" means that understanding has gone down.
I have a 2015 MacBook Air and wanted the SD card reader to belong to a Linux guest inside VMWare Fusion (for dd'ing custom RPi images). I just couldn't get it to work.

My preference would be for a reasonable amount of PTO coupled with unlimited sick time, so getting the flu doesn't force me to choose between either giving up my planned summer vacation or coming into work sick :)
I think part of the advantage of paper is that it rewards you for making up useful abstractions and inventing notation on the fly, so that you don't have to write things out. On paper, you don't get red squiggles if you're using something that's not properly defined elsewhere, and there's no penalty for using a symbol that's compact but hard to type.
This entire discussion feels alien and even kinda primitive to me, someone grown up in India. We have a simple nozzle that sprays water and cleans your anus way better and without having to wipe it off yourself with toilet paper.
Toilet paper just frankly seems like a hallmark of western consumerism to me.
How many orders of magnitude more lucrative is cryptomining than users with adblock?

Users knowingly doing cryptomining are probably in the 90%+ adoption rate neighborhood of adblock.

Finally, if users had even an inkling of how their data is bought, sold and aggregated, they may very well prefer a sluggish browser. Maybe not, but it's certainly not a forgone conclusion.

Many adblock users like myself would happily browse with any number of ads, if I could block the tracking by itself.
Joining (the Atlanta office of) Square, I was very nervous that “Unlimited Vacation” actually meant “No Vacation”. It hasn't turned out that way: our office has a good work-life balance.

I would still expect that that is not generally the case.

Orthodoxy is only one small part of Judaism and Jews.

> If you want to convert it's a big deal with study, testing, and culminating with a literal certificate of conversion - that can be revoked.

https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/50602/can-conver...

Only in narrow areas, such as modern State of Israel (which is a blip in Jewish history, and not the world government of Jews), which very special circumstances.

It's complicated.

Also, you can be a non-Jewish woman, marry a Jewish man, and have Jewish children, who an Orthodox Jew might call non-Jewish children, but those children and their descendants and neighbors may never think are "not Jewish"
I've experienced being denied time off excessively, no vacation payout (even if I didn't even take 2 weeks), strict rules about when you can take time off, for how long, etc.

Overall bad.

Well, yes, but decentralized "authorities" still have an incentive to do what their users want, and if there is a market for "no remote cancellation" accounts, then they will exist. It's quite different from one central authority that would be acting against its own interest if it did that.

Kind of like Boost?
Exactly what problems need solving here? Cardholders aren't on the hook for fraud. If you are in a hurry, you can tell your server to provide the check with your food, and pay before you're done eating.
Rather similar. When they where realy young we introduced them to First Lego League ( http://www.firstlegoleague.org/ ), created a team of 6-12 yo's, organized crafting and experimentation sessions teaching them about programming and engineering in general. But as they get older, the barrage of entertainment online, games, YouTube etc. just steamrolls across them.
Like many parents you start the endless grind of 'limiting computer time' to stop them turning into complete addicts (like most of their peers), but it is a relentless uphill battle.
I don't understand this infatuation with ones genetic material. Given that I am blond and blue-eyed and live in Scandinavia, I'm probably just as much Vikingish as you are Jewish. Should I be proud of being a Viking?

If your objection is that the Vikings were horrible people that just pillaged stuff. Then I agree, but the ancient Israelites weren't that kind to women and slaves either. If your objection is that the culture didn't survive. Well, the good parts, Christmas, Midsummer (the traditions are pre-Christian) and binge-drinking did...

Even if ancient Israelite culture is objectively superior to Viking culture, you didn't create it, so why be proud of it? It's like being proud of being the heir of a billionaire. :p
I used to have a '14 RMBP with the Apple display and it was wonderful. Now I have a '17 13" MBP and it only has two USB ports so I have a third party dock and monitors because Apple doesn't offer a solution. The entire experience is awful but still more reliable than any Windows laptop I have ever run, although the gap is closing.

Hackintosh doesn't work for me because my business isn't fixing laptops. Apple used to provide a full solution and it was really great.

Extreme Water Receding in Stamford CT and Provincetown MA
The Wikipedia article is contradictory. As you quoted, it says that the law works well in simulation and in observation, and yet it's just a coincidence. Of course it's not exact, but it looks like a very good first approximation.
Pros are supposed to buy an iMac Pro in the meantime, and then buy the modular Mac Pro Pro with all the pro trimmings - iPads for touch control, and such - when it all arrives next year.

It's going to be interesting to see if they stick with Intel for the Pro. It's entirely possible they won't, especially given Intel's security issues.

What that means for performance remains to be seen.
United States here. I've worked at two companies that had this kind of unlimited policy.

The first one not only did I end up taking less vacation then I would of, I actually had my manager get mad at me for using more than two weeks of leave. I no longer work at said place for a myriad of reasons.

The current one is pretty good. I definitely need to be proactive about it, but I've never been denied or guilted. Last year I used a bit over 3 weeks (so about normal for my field), but this year I'm planning to use a bit more because I have a few different places I'd like to visit. It definitely took me some mental effort to get past my natural tendency to avoid taking off.
Unlimited Vacation is the same as saying Unlimited Salary, its total BS. Without set guidelines in your employment contract of what PTO you get in exchange for working there it creates a drawn out negotiation between you, your manager and your team of how much vacation you actually get.

Its just better to know for sure what PTO you are entitled to in your employment contract. Would you accept a job without knowing what the salary was? Keep in mind that vacation days are something that you are EARNING in exchange for your work.
Who are you comparing Jews to? This is the point. I don't think there's any reasonable comparison. Judaism's pairing of extreme insularity with great economic success in most 'host nations' leaves them without any other group to compare against. Powerless minority groups are certainly not a reasonable comparison.

Oppression and dispersion takes on a different meaning for those of means, even more so when the shared genetic lineage also happens to provide a substantially higher IQ than average for the vast majority of the group.
Ethnic ghettos are as much or more imposed by external oppressors than internal separatism.

The USA is full of Chinese, Italian, Irish etc descendants, most of whom do NOT live in those ghettos. After a generation to learn the local language and culture, descendants leave the ghettos for success in the wider world.
I agree 101% with the author but I fail to understand how this case is different from anything else in the world. From pizza to operating systems, from orgasms to entertainment, people tend to be lazy and opt for the simpler, low stress alternative - no?
>They know that widespread crypto adoption will make them obsolete.

Could be true. But are we seeing adoption grow? I see a lot of merchants ending support for bitcoin and other crypto-currencies. I think more people use it as a speculative investment than as a currency right now.

Ah, the No-True-Scotsman fallacy.

First you lie and claim Hitler was an atheist when in fact he was a catholic until the day he died, and then is somehow my fault? Isn't lying in the ten commandments?

I don't know if in his heart he was truly a devout servant of the lord or if he was just pretending, but most importantly, you don't either. All we can be sure is that he claimed to be one, and that the Catholic church embraced him, made treaties with his government, celebrated his birthday officially every year and never excomulgated him. That sounds like a better catholic than most, he made the church a lot of money and, they gladly took it.

Whatever he was, he was not an atheist. And he didn't claim to be one, in fact, he claimed the opposite.
Thanks, I will have a look. I find too that his conclusions seems skewed in that direction.
My other reference for alimentation was the blue zone that also pointed mostly in the same direction, no process food, plenty of vegetable or vegan but also in some case a bit of meat and cheese.
Scaling Uber's Hadoop Distributed File System for Growth
Assuming I understand you, it would be easy via an interface.

Build an interface for the go.rice (or go-binddata/etc) such that, depending on the environment, it either pulls the file from disk or from memory. Super easy.

I seem to recall seeing a Go library that actually has this functionality built in, but I've got no idea which it was.
