When I started, Stripe was not yet available in my country, Latvia (it now is).

Personally I've had good experience with Braintree. Particularly their support has been impressively good – they take time to respond, but you can tell the support agents have deep knowledge of their system, they have access to tools to troubleshoot problems, and they don't hesitate to escalate to engineering.

Ask HN: What is your present sentiment on GraphQL?
A few years ago GraphQL was looked at by many as a Next Big Thing. I'm looking for a comparison from developers who have now implemented REST APIs as well as GraphQL APIs in production. What is your preference now and why?
To some extent, AWS's introduction of Savings Plan (just before 2019 re:Invent) did significantly eat into the margin available in this space. Prior to Savings Plan, Reserved Instances purchase advising was much more lucrative (IMO). Once Savings Plan was introduced, that became a pretty great low-cognitive-effort default and could be supplemented by direct RI purchases where you either needed to reserve capacity (not that common) or where you had a fairly steady workload and could buy RIs to cover that and SP to cover most of the balance.

For us, that turned this process from something that was large part black magic, spreadsheets, and guesswork into something that could be done 85+% well on half a napkin.
Well, it really rather isn't. Punks aren't renowned for musicianship and appreciation of finely crafted instruments. Most 'punks' would have little idea of what to do with a Brian May model Gretsch. But making your own guitar is rather garage, if you'd asked me, as garages are often workshops.

I was in the beta for this and it's been really cool to hack around on this platform. Been working on making a read-write stripe app to connect to an external CRM.
To be honest the only struggle I experienced is that sometimes the console of the browser doesn't return the error and therefore it requires a little digging to figure out what's going on that causes the app to not render.
Consumer hardware is totally fine if you use multiple machines - the probability of them failing at the exact same time is very low.

His stack already uses multiple appservers (so the loss of one wouldn't even be noticeable) and has a manual way of failing over to a DB replica.

It's often cheaper to work around node failures (which you often need to do for other reasons anyway - DC-wide outage, etc) than have more reliable nodes.

Unless Tether itself is the entity on the other end of that transaction. From Tether's reserves report, it has $82.42bn of reserves against $82.26bn in liabilities ($82.19bn of which are the tokens), for a net equity position of about $160m. However, its reserves include $4.9bn of "other investments (including digital tokens)".

Suppose that's all bitcoin, which is valued at "cost less impairment" (i.e. the lowest price bitcoin reaches since the purchase), and bitcoin drops by 10%. That would wipe out about $490mn of equity, putting Tether underwater. The same could happen with a similar drawdown on $3.7bn in "corporate bonds, funds and precious metals," which are marked to market.

That kind of thing happens to me all the time. iOS c. version 6 was a refuge from it, mostly, but they've since added so much more stuff to it (and replaced the home button with a gesture) that I find myself doing things by accident on there all the time, too, now.

It's much worse for my parents, because when they do something by accident (or when some designed-by-assholes program decides it needs to replace your usual screen with some "helpful" full-screen message about an update, on launch or on trying to take an action) it takes them far longer to figure out what's happening and how to undo it. Often they just give up after a while.

> with proprietary switches

MX is a type of switch, so from the name, I'm guessing it uses MX style switches (the most popular style of switch). Specifically MX describes the shape of the connectors on the switch. This means the keyboard will be compatible with aftermarket key caps, which are very popular.

EDIT: While the switches do look like MX switches to me, Logitech is also using MX as branding to describe mice, non-mech keyboards etc. This is confusing for someone who knows mechanical keyboards.
My ex who wasn't from stem background was learning Python. Its very anecdotal, but few things I very well remember was:

(1) Here getting confused with scopes. E.g. assigning variable in one function and using it somewhere else, mixing global/local scope, assign/use order. Looking at that I was thinking a language that has more explicit and strict way to declare variables and look at scopes is probably better for beginners. The alternative with Python is that it can be somewhat confusing, and at times you see them only if they get executed. Racket definitely doesn't have that problem. It is as obvious as it can be.

(2) If your introduction is through some kind of project (data science, web app ...) you'll likely be using some object oriented features from very beginning. I saw her getting confused with `foo()` vs `foo.bar()` vs `foo.bar`. There was definitely a big gap in her understanding, but I think Racket's focus on functional paradigm and most libraries being that way -- is somewhat a nicer experience for beginners.

Overall, Racket is a simple language but can get fancy as far you'd want it to, so I think the barrier of entry is probably better than Python.

things like redundancy and crc checks I assume
You basically described Lisp.
The data is represented large enough on screen that compression doesn't destroy it.
See https://askubuntu.com/a/204 - also applies to Debian (and most likely other derivatives) too.
That is what redundancy and error correcting codes are for. It will reduce your data density, but I am sure you can find parameters that preserve the data.
In a short play you're paid immediately in USD. You sold the minute you acquired tether and now all you have is a Tether-denominated liability to pay back, which you assume will cost you 0 since you ll be able to get all those tether back at much less than you sold the initial loan.

Ofc, for servicing this liability in tether, you have to pay interests in USD, as long as the market stays irrational.

You need to find a large sleepy holder of Tether, fully bullish, who wants to make some easy premium money on your back while you make riskier short term downward bets on their back. A lawyer, a contract, a repayment schedule and hop, the matter is settled. We do that everyday in my investment bank in Hong Kong, with pension fund partners holding large inventories of stocks for their own clients and who dont know what to do with all that sleeping inventory.

You can contact us or our competitors if you have above 200k in cash to invest in the short and we'll find you counterparties for a fee. If you plan to short regularly a few millions a day, DM me.

Ofc, we d never touch a Tether short, we re not as insane as the crypto market. I d advise you to only short on short term bets, with full transparency with your counterparty so you avoid any sort of surprise. You should also pay a bit to hedge a catastrophic reversal, we have entire desks of people for that, so you can pay a bank for that service.
I think it’s increasing obvious that uncurated package managers (PyPI, NPM, etc.), while so brilliant for discoverability and development speed, expose a very large security risk. It seems to me there are two options:

- curated package manager, potentially paid, that ensure the security of the libraries available.

- languages/platforms that are able to sandbox, with permissions, at the library level.

I’m not sure what the way forward is but I don’t think the status quo can necessarily continue.
corrected. HN’s algorithm had removed “how”.
Why not? Information asymmetry is hard to overcome sometimes. Someone might attempt due diligence but still get burned.
….and I assume the revocation can’t be back-dated?
The best rebuttal to this is the following quote from the article in question, which shows that not only is Tether NOT fully backed by cash, a lot of their supposed collateral sounds quite shady and they are also not letting anyone else audit what they are doing:

"Regulators and economists have long questioned whether Tether has enough assets in its reserves to justify its stablecoin’s purported peg to the dollar.

“USDT is, quite simply, fully backed by collateral,” Tether said in a statement Monday.

“It has maintained its peg because every USDT is redeemable for dollars via Tether, and as such any time the price goes below $1 investors can earn a profit by buying USDT for a discount and redeeming it with Tether.”

The company previously claimed tether was backed one-to-one by dollars in a bank account, but subsequently revealed it was using other assets including commercial paper — short-term corporate debt — and even digital tokens as collateral after a settlement with the New York attorney general.

Last week, Tether said it reduced the amount of commercial paper it owns and increased its holdings of U.S. Treasury bills. For the first time, the British Virgin Islands-based firm said it also holds some foreign government debt. Tether declined to comment further on the source of its funds, but said it is pursuing a more thorough audit of its reserves."

This is a problem with how you're thinking about low probability events. Yes, rules only matter when the low probability event occurs. Do you, for example, not care about up-to-date A&P logs on the aircraft you fly in as well?

I'll be the first to admit that regulations can go beyond what should be considered an acceptable risk, but we have to at least acknowledge the risk they are meant to mitigate before determining if it's a reasonable regulation. That often involves understanding the consequences of low probability events, something we're usually not good at thinking about very well on a day-to-day basis.

It feels like there should be a more direct way to grow stuff. AppHarvest is doing something interesting. Why plant in dirt outside and rely on lossy transmission of fertilizer and water to the plant? Plus fungus, parasites, etc. A controlled environment where you can get the nutrients and water directly to the plant seems a lot more efficient. I know the capex is huge but still. We probably should all be eating less (and wasting less) food here in the US.
Let's be honest with ourselves... Tether is almost certainly intentionally fraudulent.
Ok that was not my point and I forgot that the T-Mobile brand existed in some EU countries. But my point was that the phone wasn’t available outside of the US.

Just recently bought a Samsung A53 5G in part because of the extended update time frame. I was going to get the very similar A33 but it's not available in the US.

The only real lack that jumps to mind is no wireless charging, but it does have a feature I enabled immediately - capping the battery charge to 85%. With that and the updates there's a pretty decent chance that I actually will still be using the same device 4-5 years from now - possibly without the battery replacements needed on my previous phones.
> If creators start encoding their source material into their files Google would probably be fine with that

Not true at all, lol. Google has a paid file storage solution. YouTube is for streaming video and that's the activity they expect on that platform. I couldn't imagine any service designed for one format would "probably be fine" with users encoding other files inside of that format.
Why do you think any stablecoin exists? What need do they solve?
It doesn't say the surveillance footage would be only limited to people who wanted photos taken of their own property. The default is that they will sell it to whomever wants to buy it. So I think the title, though editorialized, holds up.
Exchanging money for goods and services is the norm and frankly I’m not even sure if anyone offers true privacy! Even EU wants to insert spyware on every box now so it’s really preferences in the play. To each their own.
Another example is the order in which you access memory. To multiply two matrices, in one you move by row and in the other you move by columns. One makes the cache happy and the other unhappy, so it's faster to transpose one of them (the correct one, I never remember) and them "multiply" them. We notice this in Fortran with -O2, but the difference disappears in Fortran with -O3, so the compiler is doing some magic.
No, YouTube is not lossless.

The video that is created in the example in the README is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmm1AeYmbNU

We can see that data is encoded as "pixels" that are quite large, being made up of many actual pixels in the video file. I see quite bad compression artifacts, yet I can clearly make out the pixels that would need to be clear to read the data. It looks like the video was uploaded at 720p (1280x720), but the data is encoded as a 64x36 "pixel" image of 8 distinct colors. So lots of room for lossy compression before it's unreadable.
The G Pro X Wireless felt awesome and first and seemed like a great headset, but my mind changed when I ran into issues and saw how many others had issues as well. If they made it a bit more durable I would say it would be almost perfect.

I had an SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless as well before the Logitech one, and I ran into the same issue! Huge disappointment after having loved the SteelSeries Siberia wired headset
What you are looking is called a greenhouse, they are what enable Netherlands to be the world's 2nd largest exporter of food and much of UK vegetables come from there.

Vertical greenhouses trade space efficiency for energy efficiency, you have to provide lights because they can't make full use of natural sunlight.

This only makes sence for some low-calorie foods, like berries and salads - you have to provide too much light to grow something calorious like -potato

They wouldn't, and DDG has a convenient way to disable ads which I am sure many users take advantage of.

Still, millions of users do click those ads, because if nobody did, DDG would not exist. A less tech savvy user, who is probably DDGs main target, came on the promise of privacy and does click those ads and is also being tracked around the web by Microsoft if they use DDG browser (from what I understand).

This is less than ideal from the standpoint of "privacy simplified" promise, but really no other way around it when selling ads is your business model.
Blasphemy! All kidding aside, I know what you mean. I say the same about audiophiles.
I think part of the problem is that a lot of generation X and millennial people grew up as latchkey kids[0], and are reacting against it by raising their kids like veal: no unstructured play, no time without adult supervision, no time alone to think for one's self, and certainly no push to take on adult responsibilities until a kid's well into their twenties.

> If it can't legislate, then it's not a legislature, is it?

The EU parliament votes on new EU 'laws' as a part of ordinary legislative procedure. It can reject laws or amend them. But contrast to national parliaments, it cannot propose new laws.

The truth is that even on national level, most laws are proposed to parliament by government, not by MPs.

> If you mean that the "laws"(they aren't laws technically) don't apply anywhere until actually accepted and adopted by the EU member states - then yes, that's very much by design.

That is not true, there are directives and regulations (as EU 'laws'). Regulations apply directly, without any adoption by members states. Directives have to be adopted, but member states are required to adopt them and in some border cases they apply even if not adopted.
> So, if you stole every last dollar from every last billionaire in the US and redistributed it for the last 30 years, each person would only get 500$ per year.

This is a faulty analysis. It’s well studied and well known, for example, that the top 10% of people income wise have ~70% of the wealth in the US. Similar patterns exist globally. This has been reproduced many ways by many people and squarely contradicts your calculation.

`static` also allows it to optimize, and it's more of a code hygiene thing. Your original code as written unintentionally defines `find` as a function that must be preserved (as a separate function) into the compiled output, and `static` undoes that.

Many things. A stablecoin that implements ERC20 interface can be used across Ethereum ecosystem and it’s smart contracts. You could even program your own smart contracts around the token, such as to setup a time lock or auction.

Examples: converting it to another token on a decentralized exchange, purchasing an NFT, holding the token in a non-custodial wallet, holding the token in a multi-signatory wallet, participating in DAOs, using a smart contract to handle decentralized escrow, interacting with decentralized lending protocols and liquidity providers.
