GitHub – Introducing the New Premium Support
To this point, iPhone performance has grown by first doing their own silicon and then by offering more hardware blocks to do what used to be done purely in SW. Of course, they also rode the wave from 45nm to 7nm.

As you look forward from 7nm, the picture is less exciting. Claims of 2x and 4x improvements will give way to 20% benefits from the hardware alone, and they'll have to work really hard on technologies like Metal to limit the amount of SW layers between an API call and the instructions in the chip.

Making products that last as long as possible is good for the Earth, but without breakthroughs in semiconductor physics, the space is maturing. Software already ate the world, and must now learn to coexist with the remaining resources.
‘As Haven describes, he organized a symposium on structuralism at Johns Hopkins in 1966. ... the triumph of the event was an address by a young French philosopher, Jacques Derrida, who was just beginning to “deconstruct” the grand schemes of structuralist thought as mere creations of “discourse.”’

Seems particularly insightful given what we know now in this age of Machine Learning.

Thanks for posting.
A one page resume is a foolish idea. It might make your job easier but a 6 page resume shows more details/depth and can separate you from the crowd. Some people will only read page one so making that into a summary page helps but also provides additional depth for those who want to read more.
A shot across the bow against Square. This will be very interesting. Payments has always been a race to the bottom, I wonder how quickly rates will drop for POS payment providers now that Stripe is going after that business and directly against Square.

Well if there actually was a bug, as you state, you are clearly in the right to point it out. Both parties in a communication have a responsibility. The party criticizing the code has a responsibility be factual, concrete and constructive, and to only criticize the code, not the personality of the author. The recipient of criticism on the other hand have the responsibility to listen and not become defensive or take criticism of the code personally.

Personally though, it also really irks me when someone carefully explains me something I already know, so I understand the mindset.

Transaction functions were always part of datomic, even when running it outside of AWS. I think of Ion as a tool that wraps all the complex insanity of AWS so you can write an app as closely as possible to how you'd write a traditional Clojure app meant to run on a single server. In that sense it's not even specifically about datomic... You can even choose not to use it as your database, but of course then you'll be on your own as far as scaling your db.
Since it is built from the ground up around an event loop, asynchronous requests and responses as well as websockets work much more naturally. With Plack-based frameworks the PSGI spec is not built for asynchronous behavior, so you have to rely on hacks and use specific PSGI servers like Twiggy.

Sure does coal also have accidents. A handful people die having it. Even solar plants burn down or a wind mill may fall over.

All of this is ridiculous compared to a nuclear fallout. But it says much that you chose coal. Another energy source that is on the way to be abolished.

Quick question: What's the advantage of bangs over adding a custom search engine to something like Firefox? In Firefox, we can right click any search bar and add a keyword for the search, so we could just type something like "w topic" to search Wikipedia for some topic. Anyway, maybe there's something I'm missing, but I am curious.
Using Verifone hardware? I'd rather just use Square. Nothing wrong with using both Square and Stripe for credit card processing.
Do you have a larger set than just famous assholes? Its entirely possible they represent the exception and not the rule. In fact since they themselves then to be extraordinary I would believe that they are influential in spite of being an asshole instead of because of it.
I have a different sort of fear from nuclear that's a little more nuanced.

Earlier this year, in Finland, one of the coldest places, a nuclear power plant had to reduce it's output (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-finland-nuclear-fortum-oy...) because the sea waters got too warm.

It's apparent that the planet is warming and my fear is if we pass the tipping point, nuclear simply won't be an option. Both sea level rise and warming waters may make much of the nuclear power plants unusable.

However, the real danger is even more stark, which is if we pass the tipping point, I expect it will be very hard for humanity to have organized human life at the scale that we have now, and when nation states begin to fail, who will maintain existing power plants? Who will take the many decades to decommission them if they can't be maintained?
I think that really separates them from the rest. With everyone else, you need a native app to integrate with their terminal. Stripe offering this is really very cool!
This is apparently a new "plus" plan to their premium plan. Does anyone have any details about what premium content you get access to (referring to the "Access to Premium Content" bullet point)?
I'm not sure what Square charges, but a regular POS from your business bank would be far, far less in percentage for in-person, card-present transactions. I've seen 1.5% figures here in Europe.

So far, Stripe seems to have lowered the fixed fee from 30¢ to 5¢ and dropped 0.2% off their payment gateway fees.
Generally good in concept that companies should pay enough that a full time job puts people above the poverty line and above eligibility for govt benefits -- anything less means that the companies themselves are effectively freeloading on govt welfare (externalizing their costs to the govt, which makes it tolerable to work at these companies)

Much easier solution is to simply increase minimum wage as required, and probably set it at the locale level (more in the urban/high-cost areas and less in the rural/low-cost areas).

Such specific targeting simply invites companies to game the system.
> The rest of your post fails to substantiate this claim.

Re-reading what you posted I have to agree with this.

>Unsurprisingly, this is not a big problem for economic systems that do not reward profit-making.

There are few examples of such systems and they are extremely unstable, there are certainly no examples surviving more than a hundred years or so.

> Witness e.g. the fact that capitalist systems always end up realizing and attempting to solve this problem with a patchwork of laws and regulations.

All systems end up solving all problems with a patchwork of laws and regulations, except the problems that go away by themselves, or the problems that are not addressed at all.

> But the problem of social benefit being misaligned specifically with profit-making is very much a quintessentially capitalist problem.

Again, this is just a tautology. Above you effectively define capitalism as the system that rewards profit-making. So any feature of any system that is specific to profit making can only exist in capitalism in the structure you set up, so it's not a meaningful claim at all.

> Also, consider that your comments about psychology are mostly comments about your own biases and value systems.

No, this is simply not the case. If you think that mammals don't inherently have a concept of personal property you should see how my dog reacts when the cat is sleeping in her bed. We have to spend countless hours teaching children to share, not because it is natural for them, but because what is natural for them is not adaptive to life in a society. Our social structures have evolved much faster than our biology.

I'm surprised either Square or Stripe would do well in the "card present" space. 2.9% + 30 cents is pretty big markup if you're "card present".

Edit: See comment below, apparently the 30 cents is now 5 cents for card present. Helpful, though doesn't necessarily close the whole gap, depending on transaction mix.
Pretty interesting. I wonder if this is going to eventually turn into something comparable to Shopify's hardware POS offerings[0].

For sure, people may have to configure systems and routers to allow this. People would also have to ensure they don't accidentally leak routes for this. That happens from time to time. I'm just saying it would be fine to use this if you are not already using it internally for multicast applications.

An example of vpn's that already do this with routable IP space is the LogMeIn Hamachi gaming VPN [1]. It uses 25.0.0.0/8 (Ministry of Defense). Gamers don't need to talk to the MoD, so that VPN implements it locally on each PC. You can take over address space of anything you know for certain you won't need to talk to, ever.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LogMeIn_Hamachi

Avoid using that VPN btw, super insecure and dangerous. You bridge your PC with lots of potentially infected PC's. I am just linking as an example.
Hmm, that's scary. On Linux Mint it inserts the first one, on macOS the second one...
I named my kid after my middle name, which was my grandfather's name, which was his grandfather's name, and so on until at least the 1700s. Sadly, the name - which admittedly has been generally popular for a few thousand years - had a resurgence in 2002 and 5 years later yelling, "Alex!" at the playground would get at least 3 or 4 boys looking up to see if it was their dad calling to them.

Oh well. At least I personally know I didn't name him after a fad.

I think I'd rather just have the paper ballots counted by a separate machine/person. I know it's redundant but it's worth it to have the systems totally independent of one another (and independently upgradable). It's the IRL equivalent of sacrificing some DRYness to achieve loose coupling.
Yeah this was my question. It seem like a slippery slope for Mozilla since their patronage comes form one of the biggest sources of the behavior they are endeavoring to guard against with these features.
It's definitely not 0. Taking an aspirin will thin your blood just slightly, and irritate your stomach lining just a little bit. There's a chance (though of course only a small chance) that one of those things will have consequences that kill you.

There's also a chance that it'll have consequences that save your life -- e.g., making congestive heart failure a little bit less likely.

It seems uncontroversial that there may be nonlinear effects at large doses -- after all, if some dose is large enough that it almost certainly kills you then it's simply not possible for twice the dose to be twice as likely to kill you. But surely the estimates you're concerned about are not obtained by linear extrapolation from such large doses; they're the result of extrapolating from known statistics for doses small enough to be unlikely to kill, but not so small that the risk can't be measured because it's overwhelmed by background noise.

Those extrapolations could still be wrong, of course. But comparing against something that's obviously wrong like going from 100 aspirins to 1 aspirin is not a fair comparison, and scores much better on rhetorical effect than on actual evidential force.
I work at Stripe. This isn't really competitive with Square—very different customers.
Cool, but now I am looking up the cost of a “Kvarz Active Hydrogen master”

When the Apple Watch first came out they made a lot about hoe precise it is. I wonder if that sounds still true, they’ve kind of dropped it from the marketing.
It's interesting to see:

- Square become Stripe, while Stripe becomes Square

- Stripe owning the whole user experience in purchasing

- If they own the physical end points, will they eventually cut out credit card companies? You can already see that they are pushing for collecting emails with checkout.js. The first step is to have direct contact with the end user.

- If they cut out credit card companies, what's to stop them from moving into personal payments (e.g. Square Cash, Venmo) and then banking?
Especially when you start adding modern peripheral hardware that contains more general-purpose processing power than the C64's CPU itself.
Even assuming we build enough wind/solar to supplant existing coal/gas/oil generation, the unsolved problem is storing that energy for use at night, or on cloudy or windless days. Batteries are the only feasible thing in most places, and they are not available in the quantites needed for such an undertaking, and they are mostly made in Asia.

How much would we need to invest in batteries (mining/refining the raw materials, and actually building them, replacing them as they wear out, dealing with the recycling/waste, etc.) compared to the cost of a standardized modern reactor design.
> And also not sure why whenever anything positive gets posted about Apple, so many enter "APPLE MODE: RESIST IMMEDIATELY IN ALL WAYS POSSIBLE."

There are people here that have both positive and negative opinions about Apple, as there are people that have opinions about nearly every other company. Perhaps with Apple these opinions are a bit more strongly held.

> Why isn't there a way to combine privacy with keeping your data?

Because we haven't figured out how to monetize it yet. Or perhaps more accurately, we haven't convinced the average consumer that it's worth paying for.

In theory, we could build services which do combine privacy with convenience, but consumers would have to be willing to pay for those services - and pay enough to make them viable. But too many people are too accustomed to "free" services, paid for with their data/loss of privacy (an intangible loss which many people either don't care about or believe it's too late to recover), to like the idea of handing over cold hard cash instead (a tangible loss which could directly impact the ability of people on limited budgets to access these services).

Could you clarify? Is this markup only on card present transactions?
I prefer to fail-over to google. If DDG doesn't work, then I use google by typing !g in the search bar. Using DDG and increasing their audience should hopefully make them better in the long run.
Absolutely great. This industry(card processing - esp. in person) is mired by a ton of ambiguity and it would take a company like Stripe to open it up to innovation. Cannot wait to see what comes out of this from the ecosystem.
Looks awesome, already requested an invite and can't wait to put it in practice.

The next thing that I really want from Stripe is an API for the analytics they generate. I would love to be able to display the data that they are already showing in their web application via something like their elements library. I want my customers to have a better sense of how their business is doing, without having to duplicate the work that Stripe is already doing.
Congrats on launching your tool.

It seems polished and thought out. There is clearly a lot of work and thought behind it.

That may be how you feel about it, but the employers feel differently. They wouldn't hire and pay someone unless they felt that the person was providing some value.

Also, if you believe that one should have rent and food without work (and probably not paying for it), why would you expect those that provide the food and shelter to do their job without remuneration? Are you in favor of developing a class of people who have no choice but to do work for the benefit of others without pay? I feel like I've heard of that idea before.

The scooters might be good for this, but Uber is likely encouraging more people to either drive around looking for fares or hail a ride when they would normally use the train or walk. So the brave new world of no regulation doesn't necessarily trend toward a greener world.

Those paying attention would notice a difference in Google's attitude to the AOSP since WP died. IOS's a slight threat.

For search, Bing's the only "real" competition. If it dies, Google will at best, force DGG, startpage... to include tracking and Adsense. Or simply, track through Chrome.

As a Georgia resident, this is highly disconcerting. I would be quite happy, willing, and patient with polling precincts had to switch to all-paper ballots if it meant guaranteeing that my vote was accurate and actually counted.

While I almost never vote for a winner, since I'm an outside middle-ground voice in this extremely conservative state (on the whole), I at least want the confidence that my vote wasn't tampered with. Right now, I have no such confidence. Yet I will still vote because it is my right and not voting is not the answer to this problem.
And that claim is false.

I always feel like a stick in the mud with these convos but you are hitting on exactly the points that I first think of.

1 - Let's target warehouses across the country for this, and raise the average cost of American production. You're right, Bernie. When we take down Amazon warehouses, as the big bogeyman, a litany of other businesses will also get dinged for this. Walmart, Target, FedEx, UPS, so-on. Shitty warehouse conditions and employee abuse is only a shock to you, and you only see Amazon as a big target for this, if you have never worked at or known someone who has worked at any low-wage factory work.

2 - Your point about food stamps is dead on. I have asked everyone I know how they feel about Amazon paying someone more just because they have 5 kids. Regardless of what work they perform or, their experience, usefulness, or quality that they do their job with. Accepting food stamps has very little do with your employer, and more to do with your job and financial obligations.

I can't see Bernie's perspective any more. The pie in the sky legislation that he proposes make me believe that he actually doesn't intend to win the presidency. He's just here to make loud noises.
It isn't that one doesn't like to "do" things or not have interests. It is that the world changes, you change, life changes, and interests evolve and many folks develop new ones. And it seems that you discount the effect these things have on life. It is really easy to say that, "my interests won't change much" when you are on the end of youth. More to the point, though: Your brain hasn't quite stopped developing. You've not reached the change a lot of folks experience in their late 20's. And so on.

I mean, I moved countries (permanently) at age 35. (I'm 40 now). I've learned a language (not fluent yet, but still). I've had times where I've simply not had the time and/or the inclination to do much with my main hobby (art), and over the years it has changed vastly. Other things have came and went, no matter how much I enjoyed them at the time. I didn't guess this stuff would happen to me at your age, though. Life happens. There is no point in trying to speculate on these things, especially if they risk keeping you in a set mindset without evaluation over the years.
I've seen some analogies on here that were reaching but this one really threw me.
