Very nice, I like the real-time domain name availability check. However, I tried it with “photo” and it appeared to provide two suggestions that were the same (photoality, IIRC).
BBC does this a lot.
Stripe is just a bundled merchant account + gateway. It isn't like you can break up the bundle, so Authorize.net is losing a potential customer each time a business goes to Stripe. So I would say they are a competitor who works with partners (merchant account providers) to provide the same service as Stripe.
Well, they did steal $31K from him. And based on the numerous BBB complaints that he cites, he's not the only one they've ripped off. So it sounds like Stripe is just as bad as PayPal.

And about "drama boosting", if that's a real Stripe person who posted to this thread, I guess that it worked. A little, anyway. Sadly enough, it seems the only way to get attention from jerks like this.

AFAIK Microsoft use their own URL shortener all over the place including their blog, project, and docs https://aka.ms .

Instead of using random characters, they use a name that clearly shows what it is about for a URL, https://aka.ms/terminal-video as an example. I think it is the best usage of a URL shortener so far.

Do you know of git GUIs that explicitly maintain a bijection between the GUI and the underlying command history? It'd be cool to use the GUI and see the command history, or use the CLI and see updates in the GUI.
Good. It's a terrible job.
The thing that made git click for me was to understand the data structures that make git work.

There's beauty and elegance in the implementation details of git. You can do and undo with confidence once you can translate the changes you want to make to git object transformations.

To get an overview of the concepts behind git I recommend this article by one of the GitHub founders: http://tom.preston-werner.com/2009/05/19/the-git-parable.htm...

I think it's a decent argument, maybe it doesn't apply to your specific flavor of libertarianism since you believe the state should "ensure a non-coercive society" but the devil is in the details with regard to what one considers coercive.
Your "appeal to worse problems" doesn't invalidate the taste argument.

I believe "how it tastes" might be a root cause to trying it.

Anecdotally I know many people who, as kids, tried their dad's or friend's cigarette or pipe, said oh-hell-no and lost interest for the rest of their childhood.

Au contraire, I sincerely appreciate the personal touch. Probably nothing to do with them, but he’s offered a conduit for them to send additional details, and committed to looking into it. That’s more than OP seems to have got through official channels.

Every company of some size has “WTF” edge cases, IMO it matters how we handle them, even if sometimes handling it takes an unusual or unofficial form.
Compare iOS 7 to iOS 13 and despite the time that separates them, are still very similar, but compare iOS 13 to iOS 6 and the difference is night and day. iOS 7 is still pertinent to bring up when talking about iOS software usability because they changed so much in one version; much of the changes in iOS 7 set the direction for future iOS versions, and for better or worse, those iOS versions have inherited iOS 7's design language.

I always wonder what iOS 13 would look like if they didn't dump iOS 6's design so thoroughly.
I would say that is much more damning of their state of customer interest.
I used to work in payments. There's a lot of info that the poster is willfully not posting, so I believe it's probably something to do with her business, or something she did to trigger the fraud alert. For example, why did Stripe hold the funds instead of refunding the money back to the customers and cancelling all the transactions? There's a story to be told here and she conspicuously ignores this. There is a LOT more to this story than what the poster is reporting on so until more details are given, I think it's probably something the poster did that triggered fraud alerts.
I used Authorize.net circa 2010 at a large cell phone manufacturer for processing micropayments. They changed their API without notification and it broke payments for a few days, and it was really crappy considering they were supposed to be a "big dog" in the industry. Any changes were supposed to happen first in their staging environment and our test-suite ran against it to make sure it still worked before it was signed-off to be deployed into production.

Also, when I was in the UK, getting a payment processor (we had our own merchant accounts) pre-Stripe was a royal PITA. They wanted all sorts of documentation and proof that we were a "real business" before letting us process payments.

TBH, it seems like Stripe and PayPal are being pushed by "risk management" corporate suits into being unreasonable and treating their customers like United Airlines' passengers. A few years back I would ordinarily point people over to FeeFighters' Samurai to shop the best deals on payment gateways, but GroupOn decided to buy them and make them commit seppuku.

Why is it so hard for these tech firms swimming in cash to hire and keep a live, human customer services team?
Not really. You can clone all of the github's open source repos and host them elsewhere (eg. use gitlab ;).

This is open source with a restriction on agregate use, thus making it officially not open source.

If we are talking about blueseed, then the answer of who would want to live their is obvious (and was even in their sales pitch!).

The answer would be high skilled immigrant tech workers who don't have a visa, and want to be near the center of the tech world.

The way that the visa system worked, is that as long as you spend at least half your time, not in the USA, then you would be allowed to enter San Francisco as much as you want, otherwise.

Blue seed would be 12 miles off the coast of SF, so that would be a 30minute to 1 hour commute to the city. Certainly doable.

And Blue seed was advertising cheaper rents than the city to boot!

100%. Making your life your work isn't necessarily bad, if you've come to that decision of your own free will and after careful consideration of the alternatives, but making your life a faceless cog in a bureaucracy is a life unlived.

This article is garbage.

Over the last 8 years or so, FANG stock has gone through the roof. Most FANG engineers are multi-millionaires if they have been there going back 8 years. I have a friend whose Facebook stock doubled in the last 3 years and she will have been paid over 3M over 4 years.

Meanwhile, I have a friend who has been bouncing around startups, making zero in equity (because they all failed) and he gave up a job at Google. His equity would have been worth over 2M had he stayed.

I myself worked at a YC startup that had a large exit, and only made about $80k over 4 years (most of the money went to the founders even though I was employee 40). I then joined one of the unicorns and also made about 250k in equity over 5 years. Had I concentrated on my FANG interviews more, I would have made much much much more money over the last 5 years.
Startups don't necessarily have good management or the core values necessary to help weather changes. You will have problems and if you don't have either really good management or something like the Amazon leadership principles it's likely you will fail. Also, at least for many of the startups where I worked there was no appreciation for the lessons of the lean startup movement (or appreciation of the lessons of Steve Blank).

That would be my reason to consider big tech, or at least a company with solid values. Unfortunately in my career I learned a lot at startups but don't have anything financial to show from it.

Yes, you're correct. PayPal (or anyone else) isn't going to let you run out the clock by not responding to documentation requests, and then go ahead and send the money to you (a potential terrorist) because you hit a 180 day time limit.

The 180 days mentioned in the article is BS too:

1) This sentence is false: "This is because the maximum timeframe a customer can dispute in is 180 days". The maximum is almost 2 years... and here's an example for why: Imagine you buy a plane ticket for 9 months from now, and then the airline cancels it and keeps the money... When the clock starts and how long it runs depends on the type of dispute.

2) PayPal can keep your money much longer than 180 days... that's just if they want to hold it for risk mitigation reasons. Their terms actually say they can just terminate your account (no funds) under certain circumstances. Or if you violated their AUP, they can charge you 2500$ per incident. That kind of a fine would wipe out most balances.
Founder of Odoo here. I think you are wrong, at least for the case of Odoo.

All the decisions we took have never been influenced by VC, or a goal of large returns. Quite the opposite: we always execute for the long term (e.g. growing the community), rather than short term benefits.

Our decisions are based on good balance between the good of Odoo Community, and the financial sustainability of the company and partners.

There is no way we will abandon our open source product. To guarantee that on my own, I kept the majority of the shares. (and I work for the project, not the money)

For years, we have had people thinking we will abandon the open source community. But we do that since 15 years now (first VC invested in 2010), and we continue investing massively in our open source version. (Typically, we try to keep a ratio of 80% of what we do is open source, 20% is Enterprise)

...better hire those burdened with a mortgage.
Its unfortunate that these efforts do nit understand that their hosts, the moment they see some self-organized community flourishing, will attempt to take over any self organized society.

A rich guy does something good that benefits a large group of people and generates wealth for all those involved, them an external socialist gun-holder neighbor takes issue with this unburdened group next door, and takes it over for the "good of society"

Its happened many many times and it will keep happening until the cost of attacking/stealing is so high as to prevent an outright takeover (only likely in space)
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but maybe close? SmartGit has an Output window that shows the underlying Git commands that it uses when you drag things around or use its commands. And if you make changes in the command line and then switch back to the SmartGit window, it updates to match.
Why does the rebase command here include the --force flag? I don't think it's necessary.
No, only GCN and later, AFAIK.

The Bay Area offers software engineers a career growth trajectory that other places simply don't.

That $140k number might be a reasonable 50th percentile for what a junior engineer would make at a startup in the Bay Area, but compensation can increase quite a bit after several years in the industry, especially for engineers who move to large companies which give stock compensation. They will far outpace the earnings growth of engineers elsewhere.

It's much easier to achieve that kind of career trajectory in places with high concentrations of tech companies, e.g. the Bay Area and Seattle.
What are the obvious benefits? I don't follow your example... you can run a Python app on AWS, directly on an EC2 instance or in a container, using Lambda, whatever.
Since your API is not consumer facing, it doesn't have to shine with a .com and because there's no .api, .rest would work. Originally for restaurants, but I'd imagine they'd prefer .com for that perceived trust. Thoughts?

I saw a great talk at a conference about this by a woman from the University of Florida. I am sorry I don't remember her name or the conference. But this is a classic symptom of lack of diversity of developers (or test subjects). It's like the sinks that don't activate with dark hands (one of her examples). It's another reason we need to focus on developing underrepresented talent.
Comments like these add nothing of value to anyone. At least _try_ to dispute something in his post to show why it is "vile" rather than express vague, preemptive distain at its future success because you disagree with it.
A financial setup is very hard. You do not get the capital easily and you have to go through a long legal procedure for the setup and incorporation of the company. There are many laws which you must know before investing and which is necessary to know for further working.

I remember writing morse code letters with my then girlfriend while in my last years in school. back then I was able to fluently read and write morse. We didn't want others to be able to easily read what we wrote. It was in the late 90ies and we were so sweetly naive.

Today, except SOS, I can't read/write anything in morse.
> Some kinds of startups are effectively impossible to build given current structural constraints on financing them

I generally agree with this, except I would change "impossible" to "exceptionally hard." You're right that a lot of startups innovating on deep tech need to hire people who would earn $500k+ elsewhere, and that a typical startup can't afford that.

However, very exceptional founders can often raise unusually large rounds early on. I.e. some founders can raise a $10m or $20m "seed" round at inception, which allows them to afford to pay $500k salaries. It's the top 1% or 0.1% founders within their fields, but it is possible.
