It'd be useful to take a closer look at your invoices, so let me know. The Stripe Tax fee is charged for the volume of the invoice—a trial invoice should have a volume of $0, so the Stripe Tax fee would not be charged.

However, after the trial and when your customer starts paying, you'll have an invoice that's >$0—that's when the Stripe Tax fee would be charged.

We talk about a bit about this in https://stripe.com/docs/tax/faq#when-do-you-charge-a-fee-for..., but we'll try to update this with a clearer explanation.
Murdering human beings in an illegal war of aggression is pretty barbaric to me.
> Yes, politicians and teachers' unions share most of the blame. It's unconscionable how long they insisted on keeping schools closed, despite the massive impact on families and students and the minimal danger posed to kids. I feel sympathy for parents who are trying their best to survive while teachers have taken this as an excuse to work even less.

I don't know what to make of the teachers' unions. My personal experience with individual teachers is that they work plenty, and what I saw during remote school was no exception. (Being a kindergarten teacher over Zoom is hard!) And I never heard a particular teacher in my area advocate for closed or remote schools.

But school administrators blamed the teachers' unions a fair bit for being slow to reopen. In general I suspect school administrators were looking to blame someone else for their own leadership failings, but there still might be some truth in it. I could see how the unions might have adopted the position of the most risk-adverse (and/or laziest) of the teachers.
I've never had a merchant sign an NDA for me to fix their problem and/or transfer funds to reconcile a processing error, lol.
Out of interest where can I learn about MLOps specifically? I’m okay at aws and containers etc but have no idea how it looks to deploy an ML project
To me that makes sense, like if you own a factory, visiting the production line might tell you what is really going on at the core of the business.
Smart and YOUNG, seek and try to conquer complexity, pushing open The Gate of Truth. Only to be completely consumed and burned by it.

There are abundance of smart people. Wisdom, has and possibly always will be in short supply.
Fair, there's some other articles showing the SAT score spread. It's similar, albeit the delta between highest and lowest ethnicities isn't drastic.
> Some people love the lack of commute and less semi-forced hanging out, some people hate onboarding on a new company as a remote person and so on and so on.

My team has been able to hire people from all across the country, gaining access to talent that we normally would not have been able to reach.

Because my entire company has gone fully remote, if someone on the team has to take a trip overseas, they can choose to continue working if so desired. If someone wants to bail to a seaside town during the worst of winter, no problem.

People aren't forced to live in overpriced urban areas, they can live where they choose to!

> I think that an environment where someone can tap me on the shoulder when they need help leads to overall higher productivity, even if individual productivity suffers temporarily.

I agree, but I am getting 1/8th of my waking hours back from commuting.

Since the pandemic began I have been putting under 3000 miles a year on my car. I am eating home cooked meals every day. Mid day I can walk down to the local grocery store and pick up food to cook later for dinner.

My QoL is insanely improved.

If I need maintenance work done (Late last year I bought a house that was built in the 1950s, so, yes, lots of that happening) I am here all day long if need be. I don't have to worry about when expensive packages are delivered, I am always here to pick them up. I can have someone come by and cut my cat's claws whenever need be. I can schedule doctors and dentists appointments at any time of the day and not have to take a day off of work to make them.

And so on and so forth. WfH rocks.
>e.g. you're building Figma

i think what it comes down to is if you have to make a decision of "should i build an SPA?" the answer is no. the web is good at doing pages. if your app has pages, use the web's default page mechanism.

and i don't say this as a hater of single-page apps. i love webapps, and i think that building a webapp should be the default for most cases. there's a lot of apps that don't naturally break into a "page" metaphor, and all the technologies that are part of the single-page app concept are great for those cases.

figma is a perfect example, because there's no obvious division between what would be one page versus another. it's not a paginated website that has been built as an SPA, it's literally just one page that has a whole bunch of interactivity.
The one example of someone who maybe should renounce their American citizenship, Boris Johnson, and who in fact did renounce it https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/feb/08/boris-johns... was not a digital nomad.

So hey if you have a citizenship somewhere else that is among one of the cool, slightly respecting rights of citizens countries in the world, and you never want to go to the U.S because reasons (including never wanting to work there - which seems weird given your digital nomad lifestyle) go ahead, renounce it.
Yeah it does have the backronym flavor to it so that tracks.
You’re absolutely right and to be clear, my dad also pours over data roll-ups, charts, etc., but he’s never stopped looking at receipts. It’s a habit he’s had since the 70s. Back in the day, he used these electro-mechanical cash registers that had very loud typewriter-like receipt printers. At the end of the day, the manager would run the journal and my dad—-in his office across the store—tell you what kind of a sales day it was simply by listening to the sound of the register doing the end-of-day sequence.
Not only that, but they also believe spending many hours a day meditating is normal. In some ways it might be seen as.. unhealthy.
> what they wrote doesn’t feel like it’s in bad faith

Not a stripe employee, but this is why I’m glad this was written and published, too.

Obviously the author is upset — I would be, too! — but even if I don’t totally agree with them, they presented their story in a very reasonable, non-inflammatory way, and suggested improvements.

That’s going above and beyond, as far “customer complaint” goes.
This is basically a package repo of WASM file(s), which seem to have been compiled from Rust source mostly, but other language that can be compiled to WASM would work too.

And from what I've read the CLI downloads the WASM and runs it.
The "runs it" part is interesting, as it's cross platform - so does it run a JS engine, e.g like V8 or NodeJS?

I don't personally like the idea, esp since Rust can compile to all those supported platforms anyway, and the native code would be so much faster.

It says on the website that it is opensource, since 2019, but the Github account has zero repos.

The website looks flash, but has many spelling errors and typos, and so if little things like this get through after 3 years of development, then the chances of malicious code getting through is very high.
And working in good faith to resolve the merchant's problem and rectify the issue can often prevent a lawsuit in the first place. You're overthinking it.
He didn't enable "Stripe Tax for Canada". He enabled Stripe Tax.

The whole selling point of Stripe Tax is that it calculates tax for customers in every supported location. It needs customer location to function. He's supposed to charge tax in other locations where it's required too.

Using Stripe Tax to only handle tax for customers in the home region of the company when the company also sells outside the home region seems like a strange goal.

Missing the forest for the trees.
This is a common phenomenon sometimes referred to as the Google tax. Which is why when you search for "company name" you still get ads for that company when the first actual result is their website, they bid on their own name so that competitors don't appear ahead of them.
Yes I do think she understand, and yes, many don’t.

But even if they don’t understand, they generally understand how to manage laundering: yiu require proof that assets come from a source that isn’t illegal.

This has nothing to do with immutability (and in fact is aided by it): if a US exchange has data that suggests an illegal source that triggers money laundering work - which involves providing evidence of the legitimate source. Similar laws exist in most countries at this point.

You can’t get around this by using a foreign exchange either, because bringing the money into you country of residence also likely runs into laundering checks.

So even if they don’t understand immutability (which I suspect is not going to be the case) or whatever magic feature crypto is ostensibly offering, they do understand anti-laundering tools, and those are increasingly effective now that banks have actually started receiving penalties for violating anti-laundering laws.
> I discovered in actually using them has made me realize how much effort they put in to marketing to developers

I think the problem is. When I used them like 5-6 years ago, their offering was absolutely legendary. So much so that I happily moved over from 1.5% fees on Authorize to 3% on Stripe.

Right now? It’s basically become everything it seemed to be fighting against in the past.
If companies had to settle on exactly 1 pay rate everywhere around the world, the last thing I’d be willing to bet on is that they choose the salary of their most expensive COL location.
Yeah, market rates, but those studies end up in bad offers outside tech-hubs as top 80% of the market is still targeting way less skilled people than the one they "want" to retain.
It's almost seems like the policy is designed in this way so it sounds fair and at the same time keeps new locations from popping up
The article also talks about Eduardo Saverin, born Brazilian, become American, then renounced in favor of Singapore.
Then you underestimate the human ability to recognize patterns.
> I personally prefer a company where everyone's on site

Pretty obvious from the rest of your comment.
Interestingly enough, I vaguely remember a pg article about how Lisp was so effective he could deploy fixes during a customer support call about the issue, to the point the customer thought they had messed up instead of the application. I can’t seem to find that now, but this one is close (in praising Lisp’s speed advantage for startups):

Who can still block on IPs? An interior Tor node doesn't have the information available to do that.

I think you missed the point of the abductive argument: you're describing a cat and mouse game, one that is fundamentally unrealistic. The more realistic scenario is that the intent described in the article has nothing to do with encryption, Tor, or anything like that.

Six Types of Neural Networks that you must know about
I’ve found cljfx very productive. Steep learning curve, and the abstractions are somewhat leaky, but it’s worth the pain around the edges for the core workflow. Wrapping controls like ControlsFX is trivial. We’ve written a wrapper for TestFX as well so we have full functional tests and everything gets built, tested, jlinked and jpackaged continuously. It’s been one of the least painful projects I’ve ever worked on tbh.
Lektor, a Python-based SSG that I've used in the past, actually had a self-contained Mac app for a while that was maybe 75% of the way toward that. (IIRC, the app didn't let you edit templates and most site-level configuration; the idea was more that you got things set up in a more programmer-nerd way first and then used the app for site maintenance/deployment.) Unfortunately, the app broke a few years back and nobody left developing Lektor seems motivated to fix it.

I've seen one other SSG that has an app, Publii, but I've never used it. My impression is that it wasn't as full-featured as Lektor, which could be made to do a lot of neat things. Although if Publii's app still works, that's one big thing Lektor doesn't have, so... :P
Fortunately Asia is moving away from being overly influenced by the west so hopefully they will discover their own style soon rather than just copy...

Could you elaborate on how does "running many containers" relates to the topic of distributing and running *a single tool* (that was the context of the article)?

I suggest we go back to iframes
i don't believe GP was specifically impugning the intelligence of the average Russian soldier/commander, more commenting on the apparently high displayed level of incompetence shown in the field so far (of which the use of wide-open unencrypted HF radio comms with basic tone squelch/CTCSS at the company<->battalion<->brigade level is just one example).

it was not a critique of intelligence, if anything it was a critique pointing out the failure of high-level RU military planners. what kind of competent general staff lets [at least some] of their battalion-and-below radio comms go out into open frequencies that are easily listened to, transmitted on and also easily jammed by consumer-grade cheap chinese radios?

that is madness. it is incompetent.

I don't know. They're Christian but their argument is more nuanced than just thinking meditation is opening up to the dark side. I think it's worth talking about, especially given the experiences shared by other posters in the comments.

In what world does he not have to pay tax because the customer is in the US? You have to comply with tax regulations where the customer is located. And that is the problem that Stripe Tax helps with.

If you only sell locally then it's not exactly hard to implement and stay up to date with the requirements where you live.

The goal of Stripe is to make things simple. I shouldn’t have to implement a webhook to discover that none of my invoices are actually being paid. I’d expect a notification email to be sent to the account until that is explicitly turned off.

Thanks! But mid pandemic would be a year ago right? Not quite what I was thinking of as new hire, though cool to know regardless.
I haven't seen anything from any side that isn't propaganda one way or the other (incl. the supposedly homegrown stuff). It's too soon to tell how this is really going.
I’ve onboarded around a couple of companies remotely and it can be done really well, if people put thought and a process into remote onboarding it works really well.

Some things:

- make sure your laptop setup is documented (install x, y, z: setup like this)
- document where all resources are, confluence, repos, dashboards, everything and how to access
- setup virtual meetings with peers, in team and across company - one place suggested you reach out to 5 random people for a 10 minute chat - you could reach out to the lowest or highest person and the people being reached out to expected that random people would do it and it was fine - this really helped
- setup virtual calls with managers, their managers, their managers - just ten minutes to introduce yourself to each other

I’ve had better remote onboarding that starting onsite and twiddling my thumbs for over a week not knowing anyone or doing anything - I’ve suggested I leave places if there isn’t anything for me to do or any way for me to work before.
Yeah, I was gonna say SPAs are not really good for marketing type of sites. Doesn't work easily with SEO. I learned this the hard way, but there are other use cases for SPAs. Just don't use it for sites that require good SEO.

I am pushing for a rebuild of that site using Laravel and minimal amount of javascript, actually :D

hi, my city is host to rapidly growing (foreign) usa war bases.

As an engaged citizen, I notice that local media over the past 10 years have not given this significant change to our town the scrutiny that any similarly sized development would receive.

scandals such as sexual assault are reported by outlets in other cities, but not locally.

what advice can you share to help me understand what is being done to so effectively manage the otherwise useful local media?

The question is whether the police should be allowed to view live footage owned by private organizations of an ongoing crime (such as the mass looting of the Louis Vuitton store in Union Square on Nov 19, 2021). Under current law, it takes at least 3 months for the police to install a camera or borrow a camera feed owned by a neighborhood nonprofit. The only exception is “an emergency involving imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to any person”, which is almost the same as the use of deadly force law (Penal Code 835a(c)(1)(A)). So basically, currently, the police are justified in borrowing a video feed of a criminal at the same instant that they are justified in killing the criminal. The Mayor tried to allow the police to borrow video feeds during property crime incidents, but Supervisor Aaron Peskin blocked her.

I haven't tried submitting any programs I wrote to Linux distributions, so I don't know how easy it is to find people in Debian, Fedora, and possibly OpenSUSE to package an app with no users yet, or to write your own OpenSUSE or Ubuntu PPA or Arch AUR package to distribute your app. Nonetheless I hear horror stories like https://lwn.net/Articles/884301/ saying that new packages have been waiting for up to 11 months to be reviewed. (Right now, https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html has 55 packages down from 208, and 9 of the 55 packages have been waiting for over a month to be reviewed.)
