I found Stripe usage quite complicated. It felt like they were handling very complex use cases at the expense of simpler ones (which are probably the majority).

It's one of those things where once you're already "in the know", the simple use cases are in fact simple to implement. But sifting through the massive and complex API set, with outdated and partial documentation/examples all over the internet, it's very difficult to get into. Every single example starts with "this is not production ready..." And the official docs are difficult to piece together into an "E2E best practices" setup.

Not saying there is a better solution, just that as a competent dev with a simple use case, I found Stripe overly complex.
Heh, I remember a fun bug(?) I had found in IE while using contenteditable on my previous job.

I had been assigned to implement a rich text editor which was pretty close to what OP has posted, except that it a feature where the editable text had 'islands' of uneditable text sprinkled in-between. Sounds simple enough? Just add a nested element with contenteditable set to `false`. This worked well enough in Firefox and Chrome, but for some reason it wouldn't work in IE (surprise!).

After hours of scouring the internet, I found the solution[1], which was setting contenteditable to `true` for disabling the edit in the case of IE. The reason for this behavior? Nobody knows.

I still feel pangs of guilt for the poor sod who has to maintain that dumpster fire that I wrote as a fresh faced grad.

I understand, that's why I mentioned that the pilots didn't recognize that it was a runaway trim issue.

After the Lion Air crash, however, this information was widely disseminated by the manufacturer. If the Ethiopian Airlines pilots were not properly trained on this new scenario then there was clearly a breakdown somewhere in the chain of communication.
On a 14.4kbps connection it took more than 10 minutes to transfer a megabyte, so the hourly billing rate was enough of a cap.
This was a really interesting article, thanks for writing!

At my last startup, we used our DB as the single source of truth. I think using Stripe as the source of truth like you suggest would have alleviated a lot of our issues keeping things in sync.

My biggest pain point though was around managing features on the client side. We had a bunch of different plans from lots of iterating (and customers coming from different sources that had similar but slightly different experiences), so it became hard to decide "should I allow the user to see this feature/do this action?". I haven't yet seen a great way to handle that. The plans literal here looks like a great starting point though!

I'm not a fan of logging errors and returning success codes in lieu of throwing them. It leads to some very nasty support tickets and difficult to debug problems.

There's also a lot of mixed concerns here around in place logging and analytics collection for something that is a very business-logical focussed class.

If you're wanting to do things like this, I'd encourage you to have a look into a message driven Domain driven design structure. It's approach would be:

- remove all logging and analytics concerns from the class

- throw errors based on business rule violations, or alternatively publish a failure type message if it's logic path that had compensating actions

- publish all mutations of the shopping cart as immutable events

- subscribe to events related to analytics/logic and do that work in a handler, or do it in a higher level application service so the shopping cart just contains shopping cart concerns

A lot of this can be distilled down to basic DRY and SRP principals

>MCAS is quite safe

FAA emergency airworthiness directive 2018-23-51 [1]

We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe condition described previously

And what it describes previously is MCAS when receiving erroneous AOA sensor input.

Also, your post basically says MCAS is safe when disabled, because in the very same sentence you claim it's safe you also claim the pilots are supposed to know how to (indirectly) disable it. That's almost comedy.

>why the pilots did not take this simple corrective action

It's a valid question why they didn't take corrective action; it's insulting and asinine editorializing to call it simple.

Stripe is touted as 'developer-friendly', but it's not all it's cracked up to be. I think PayPal is underrated here.

- Stripe's list of prohibited businesses is much larger than PayPal's. They are not business-friendly.

- PayPal is available in over 200 countries. You can accept payments in many countries Stripe is not available in.

- On PayPal you can start accepting payments immediately, no need to submit complex business docs.

- PayPal is easier to setup (Paypal.me link, buttons, send via email etc.) and has lower fees for small transactions.

- People might be more comfortable buying from a relatively unknown site when they are using trusted 3rd party provider like PayPal.

HI Please post this and bring to the attention of the DOJ.

Microsoft got broken up for anti-trust behavior that is PEANUTS relatively speaking today. Bill Gates was right, (proven overt time) - that the OS is not the competitive advantage - its the platform and ecosystem as a whole.

Google should be broken up, so should facebook and so should Apple.

Amazon? I don't know they seem fairly diversified and although are decimating e-commerce its a more difficult sell.
How does this square with the recent story about Canadian forests being carbon positive rather than negative?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/canada-forests-carbon...
> Well, the fact that the average of my wealth and a Bill Gates' wealth is dozens of billions of dollars shows why averages are misleading -- and frequently used to give a false image with statistics.

I'm not sure I follow your example. But let me explain my point of view first.

Lets say we have a game, where we flip a coin. Heads, you win your amount of money (lets say $100,000). Tails, you win Bill Gate's money (lets say $50 Billion).

If we play the game 50 times, how much money will you make on the average?

Well, that's just 50 times the expected value of the game. Even if we have grossly separate results for heads vs tails, the mathematical properties of the arithmetic mean / common average remains the same.

----------

"Proper use" of averages depends entirely upon the use of the number afterwards. How you're interpreting the data and why. That's solidly within the realm of statistics: understanding exactly what "Average" means, and using the math correctly.

I fully agree with you that very few people out there seem to understand the definition of "Average". In fact, I personally prefer the more precise term "arithmetic mean", specifically so that I don't mislead those who say "Average" (also, "average" is ambiguous in the statistical world: mean, median mode? If mean, then arithmetic, geometric, or harmonic??).

But that's more of a writing issue as opposed to an interpretation / mathematical issue. I've used ALL average calculations (median, mode, arithmetic mean, geometric mean, and harmonic mean) at some point in my life. They're useful, and I'm not even a statistician by trade. (Actually, I use those calculations mostly in my video-game analysis...)
That's fair, but I can't imagine it would be a problem at the attitude required for optimal glide slope in an engine-out scenario?

Nature is wrong.

Accelerated weathering is our first best hope of lowering CO2 in the atmosphere.

Weathering is the conversion of carbonates and CO2 to form bicarbonates.

Grinding and aerosolizing limestone and other similar minerals hasn’t been tried very much.

Unlike with anything plant-based, once CO2 goes through this reaction, it stays.

In a few billion years, it’ll cause the extinction of life on Earth, but that’s a problem we can take our time to figure out.

> Even knowing statistics, the average doesn't tell me much.

Depends on what you're doing. Bill Gates and my wealth averaged won't tell me anything, but taking my average speed on the highway will give me a good estimate on when I'll get to my destination - in this case the 99th percentile is only interesting to highway patrol, and won't help me estimate when I'll get home. It depends on what you want out of the information.
You can mentally train your way out of that. For instance, some monks can generate gamma waves off of the proverbial charts when doing a compassion meditation. For the more cerebral aspects of self-inflicted suffering and with a lower barrier to entry, cognitive behavior therapy should yield some results.
It's not so much "degeneration" as making sure the prerequisites are covered. For many students, learning the use of "tools" like math and grammar is more effective in the context of an application than for it's own sake. It's yak shaving all the way down.
Just because you didn't see it - didn't mean he didn't do it.
It's a good point. The more you look into the immense challenges of capturing a significant amount of CO2 from the atmosphere, the easier reducing our CO2 output looks.

There's a lot of (relatively) low-hanging fruit, like making transport more efficient and eating less meat.
Eventually, it wasn't always so but yes that's disappointing.
> Is this retraction and resulting modified study seen as an important victory for people promoting that there are no differences between the "male" and "female" brains?

Not especially - more like an averted defeat. It's certainly not a win for gendered-brain theories, but it's not much of a loss either. Cohen's work is hugely controversial even after taking the existence of "gendered brains" as a given. He makes his claim from two directions: first, that most autistic people are male, and second, that most autistic women have 'male brains'.

Rejecting first claim is obviously compatible with sex differences. The basic answer is that autism in women is underdiagnosed and Cohen is mistaking test error for base rates. There are lots of possible reasons which are indifferent to brain sex (gender stereotypes, clinician expectations), plus the claim that autism presents differently in men and women, which is compatible with both socialization and deep-seated gender differences.

His second claim basically requires brain sex differences to exist, but it's still possible to accept that while disputing that autistic women have "male brains". For one thing, a lot of the debate about brain sex today works from the same underlying framework (e.g. the 2015 'mosaic brain' work) while reaching very different conclusions about how substantial sex differences are, and that whole model is largely incompatible with Cohen's. For another, lots of people charge that Cohen's data is simply wrong - that his stats on autistic women with 'male brains' come from botched studies which should be discounted regardless of what brains are like.

People who reject major sex differences like Cordelia Fine aim at Cohen a lot, because his model would largely invalidate theirs. But lots of people claiming major sex differences also reject Cohen, either because their models don't match (e.g. "higher male variance" versus Cohen's "male brains"), or because they simply think studies like these are methodologically weak independent of that question.

> So that they're not beholden to adversarial corporations.

What is so adversarial about these corporations to the browser makers? What benefit, concretely, do Microsoft or Google or Apple get from being free of the shackles of Disney or CBS?

One concrete benefit I see is less risk of the third-party code destabilizing your code because it has bugs and is running within your address space, but there's an easy solution there: sandbox the EME blob like Firefox (and other browsers too, I assume) does. Then its crashes and buffer overflows don't become your crashes and memory corruptions.

Are we absolutely sure it's the right gas? Maybe we just read it as methane but it's something else
"I'm not sure I understand... ... The plantation being cut down and then regrown has 0 net impact"

Yes, that's correct - that plantation, in itself, has zero net loss of carbon once it regrows.

What you're missing is the activity in the meantime that contributes carbon to other cycles of carbon heat trapping.

So when all is said and done, sure, that forest is back where it was with the same amount of carbon - but the permafrost it helped melt (with accompanying release of methane) is still melted.

This ultimately is not a training issue. Why was a system that can potentially plow the aircraft's nose into the ground utilizing only a single sensor without any redundancy in place? Boeing screwed up. Now both sensors will be used. Great, but sometimes 2 sensors fail. If pilots that operate these aircrafts are trusted with the lives of 150+ passengers, they should have an "easy button" to take complete manual control of the aircraft. My human sensors should trump any mechanical sensor(s) when my life is on the line.
It's honest, instead of the inflated bs you usually have to spin around your half working experiments.
Well, quote the whole thing then:

Hopefully yes, but we don't know how much instability there is. If you assume the answer there's no point having the discussion.

I was making the point that we don't know what was actually certified. Having F-117 level instability is obviously not the case but apparently the instability it does have is actually aerodynamic so your argument doesn't even work. The actual opposite is happening. The non-fly-by-wire design was modified with an automatic control adjustment to fix an aerodynamic issue. All your argument proves is that the MAX didn't magically turn the 737 into an inherently unstable design which is not relevant to the issue of if the MCAS is covering up a large or small instability.
Which of the various methods fit best with your own migration strategy? And did we miss any other options you'd consider?
This is one thing that irks me a bit. You may be doing real-world code tests where you build something, but they're not using your code for it and they don't have copyright assignment over it (unless you sign that away but I've never seen that).

Real-world problems have often been touted as a solution to useless whiteboard tests but then I've seen a lot of resentment when someone doesn't get a job with it. A month is too much time to spend on an interview project though.
