The first: Irrelevant, the money's going to be gone regardless. This is the type of purchase you have credit cards.
The second: That's actually a thing. Cash advances aren't guaranteed to be available, they're charged at a higher rate, and mine can only be used to get CAD or USD, not anything else.

> In 1956, the renowned cognitive psychologist George Miller published one of the field’s most widely cited papers, “The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two.” In it, he argued that although the brain can store a whole lifetime of knowledge in its trillions of connections, the number of items that humans can actively hold in their conscious awareness at once is limited, on average, to seven.

So, your mind can hold 4-5, not 7 things at the same time or it goes "out of sync"

He could only be right if there were real broadband competition - there's no point in the ISP disclosing how it's going to screw me if I have no choice.

In the past few places I've lived (in Seattle and the SF Bay Area), there has been only a single high speed broadband provider (2 of those places had a DSL provider that promised "up to 1.5mbit" speeds), but that's barely enough for standard def streaming, and not nearly enough for HD streaming -- 1.5Mbit DSL was "high speed" 20 years ago.

> But the issuer is still worried about fraudulent charges initiated by the merchant

Are they though? Generally the risk of merchant fraud is borne by that merchant's processor. There is some overhead for the issuer in processing chargebacks, but if this were an issue then we'd expect to see many other types of fraud-prone online merchants being banned.

It seems clear that this is an extension of the common prohibitions on using credit cards for gambling.[1] But I should add that it's not that they're worried about failure to repay. That risk is generally controlled by credit limits. It's the fraudulent chargebacks that cardholders initiate when they lose their money.

Now the VCs that made lots of money selling their Google, etc., would now have to spend much more on giving a new startup runway. That's also a reason why many US startups and corporations hire dev teams in Eastern Europe and make it much harder to hire for local startups.

Welcome to politics!
Having not worked in the Valley or a startup, I can say the biggest con to me is a lack of stability. You can get a job at BigCo or even MediumSizedButBeenAroundTwoDecadesCo and be reasonably sure you'll still have a job... as long as you want to work there. But with a startup, either they run out of money and you lose your job, they pivot and don't need you and you lose your job, or they get acquired and you very likely lose your job (or it becomes a vastly different job you didn't want). When taken in combination with the insane cost of living in the Bay Area, it seems crazy that someone would even consider this.

Here's a crazy idea from the IT contracting industry: Maybe YC and the like should hire employees and contract them out to startups. I work for a company which contracts me out to another: Even if my position is eliminated with the client, I don't lose my job, I just get reassigned. Perhaps as part of this, YC (or other funding group) gets the investment options an employee would otherwise have had, for example.

- For the startup, they'd be getting employees who weren't worried if they'd have a paycheck in the next six months, and they'd know their VC folks are confident in that employee's ability. For all the other risks startups take, hiring a good developer/designer/business manager would be less of one.

- For the employees, they'd have a stable income they could base real estate and financial decisions on.

- For the fund, they'd have possibly gained more investment, and ideally, having known employees that they've seen the work of before should add confidence to the success of a given business they've funded.

Disclaimer: I have literally no experience or expertise in claiming this would work out financially or otherwise for the startup industry.

The people willing to vote republicans out of office have been doing it already for decades. In my (extremely limited and young) experience, republican voters are fiercely loyal, and willing to actually go out and vote, while democrat voters seem to be utterly apathetic in most cases. This is compounded by the current situation where, many things cause a democrat vote to be worth less than a republican vote in actually changing power balances.

Pro (from my personal perspective, YMMV): You get to work on something that will actually see the light of day. For me, there's nothing worse than being this tiny little cog in the machine that comes into work from 9-5 and produces something so microscopic that you question your importance at all. Working at a startup means you have to pull your weight, wear many hats, and get shit done. This also means you can climb the later and get noticed much easier. It also means you can't slack off and fuck around all day. Most of my friends that work at larger public tech companies — it just feels like they're constantly doing unimportant things, going to conferences just for the sake of it, getting into work late and leaving early. etc. That life, that cushiness is just not for me.

Cons: As others have said, the pay is always going to be lower. The stock options are, in most cases, always going to be worth $0.

> shaming cities into actually funding their road maintenance budgets.

This makes it sound as if there aren’t hard choices to be made and that budgets aren’t tight. Would you rather have smooth roads, clean water, or low taxes?

Road maintenance is expensive, and tends to get deferred because of lack of funds or more important priorities. This means that road maintenance gets even more expensive. People then like to criticize the city for not fixing things when it would have been cheaper.

We like the narrative that government is wasteful and stupid and has all the money it needs to maintain everything in the city. Sometimes it is lazy and stupid, but mostly (especially at the city level) it is not.

When there isn’t money to do work, the government doesn’t do work—even if there’s work to do. Until we allow enslavement of government workers, this will continue.
Not an issue in Sweden, there it is illegal to have any transaction fees on credit cards so cash will be at least as expensive.

The cruelties of familiar children, like siblings, cousins and neighbor kids, are typically presumed to be less harmful than the cruelties of random strangers who may be pedophiles etc.

I'm not saying its necessarily true. I'm just saying it tends to be less feared.

Another thing that has changed is that people move a lot more. My parents bought a house when I was three. I graduated high school with kids I went to kindergarten with. Historically, buying a house for life was much more normal. Knowing the same people for many years made it easier to calculate risks.

One of the reasons we have the saying "better the devil you know" is because familiarity allows you to adapt and figure out coping mechanisms for known problems. Unfamiliar territory routinely endangers you in unexpected ways at unexpected times. Being caught unprepared can easily have worse outcomes than familiar problems, even if those familiar problems are potentially equally dangerous.

Americans haven't really learned yet good metrics for when to butt out and when to feel responsible in some way for people they don't know all that well. So, as a group, we butt in a lot when we shouldn't.
You'd be surprised. Handling coins and bills, dealing with unexplained losses, hiring someone to transport it to/from the bank, the time taken to deal with counterfeits, not having money immediately after purchase...

It all adds up.
Open plan offices and general lack of a quiet, contemplative, professional working environment is the hugest con to me, even huger than the compensation issues pointed out by other commentors.

I would look to start-ups to be leading the effort to improve industry practices for software development ergonomy and human-centric working spaces (i.e. focus on privacy, quiet and individual customizability).

But instead, start-ups often try to conflate “collaborative spirit” with some shallow and false idea that collaboration is equal to being continuously embedded in a real-time stream of preemptible audio and chatter.

Headphones, jabberboxes, telephone rooms, limited freedom to be remote — none of these are useful and none address the underlying privacy and human centric ergonomy points.

Practically the only thing left that can convince me to take the risk of a startup, with its lowered compensation, poor insurance, and the poor risk characteristics of equity, is giving me my own private office, and making sure everyone on the team who wants one also has one, from the summer intern on up to executives.

If a start-up cannot offer a private office, then the start-up has to offer me the same market rate salary, bonuses, insurance and work-life balance that any other company would have to offer me.

I'm not sure that's a distinction with meaning. Ultimately nonocrypto is worried that the exchange will behave in shady, fraudulent ways to which he doesn't want to be exposed. Ditto for the bank. The fact that the most obvious expression of those two kinds of fraud are different doesn't really change the risk analysis much. Someone willing to game one end of a system is likely to try to game the other.

> The credit card issuers are not particularly worried about fraudulent "merchant" charges.

Sort of true, but... isn't that exactly what happened here? The reasons banks don't sweat merchant fraud is that they can just refuse to do business with them. And here Wells Fargo is preemptively deciding that all exchanges are shady.

I lived in Japan for several years and most people I met didn't ignore Japan's actions during WWII. But they didn't like that basically every interaction between Japan and China/Korea was defined by China/Korea airing grievances from WWII.

WWII has been over for more than 70 years now, and Japan has been among the most productive, peaceful nations in the world since that time. To continuously insist on portraying Japan as evil warmongers qualifies as racist propaganda.

Imagine if the people, and the governments of the nations of the world insisted on portraying Germany as unrepentant Nazis at every opportunity. Surely you can agree how stupid and frustrating that would be as a German.

The biggest fraud of USB-C is it just doesn't do what consumers expect. I bought a USB-C device, expecting the device to then provide all the functionality that USB-C was advertised as having.

Repeal of Net Neutrality makes his a possibility. Yours not so much.
I don't know if I've been unlucky twice, but I think the biggest problem I see with working at a startup is the lack of transparency on runway and the security of whatever form of compensation I am getting. Twice now (in 2 diff companies) I have been stuck in the position of finding out with only a few days' notice that paychecks are not getting wired and we're hunting an investor to bail us out.

Somehow it has become ingrained that a CEO's job is to build everyone up and paint the vision. Well, that's great but somewhere along the way we forgot about the basics of personnel management. Think a co-founder is taking a chance by going without a salary? How about the dude with options and a family.

Here's what I consider the 'sweet spot':

A small company, say 20-50 people or thereabouts, that has a profitable niche and does not require much in the way of investments. Here's why:

* Small is more fun for me - I like knowing everyone I work with, and the chance to see what other people are working on, and maybe move around some in what I'm doing, rather than 'the same thing day in and day out at BigCo'. Your work also feels more valuable and meaningful. Startups are a lot of fun that way, however...

* Investments and not living off what you sell are inherently unstable and stressful. That's ok to take a chance on when you're younger, but as someone with 20 years of experience in the industry, a family, hobbies, an interest in local politics and so on, it's not so much fun any more.

* I have a bias for cash, not equity. It's fine to roll the dice a bit on that when you're younger, and even now for the right thing... you never know, but ceteris paribus, I'd rather just have the money.

Of course actually finding a place like that is easier said than done. You need to avoid things like winner take all markets.
