Shenmue3 achieves 1M goal
I have considered doing this myself. I have used Mint for a long time, but more and more I feel they are trying to push other services on me. Not to mention it doesn't 100% fit my use case. I have also investigated other solutions, like YNAB as someone else mentioned, but never was impressed enough by them to spend money.

Ultimately, I decided I wasn't worried about it enough to dump my own time into it, but if it's something you're passionate about I'd say go for it, and I wish you luck!
Well, they don't have to sign then... Sign up after most people's three months run out. Or negotiate for better terms. Or walk away from the table.

What's happening here is not a shift to net 90, and it's also not an attempt by Apple to rip any rightsholders off.

Instead, it appears Apple and the major labels believe that three free months of Apple Music threatens to hurt Spotify's userbase growth at a crucial time for Spotify (fundraising pre-IPO). The industry has lost its faith in freemium (Apple Music, trial aside, has no free tier) and either this will kill Spotify or get them in line.

The indies, who overall can't afford losing three months of revenue, are just caught in the cross fire.
You can't just add up marketing spend and conversions over the same period of time and divide them. That's not an accurate method of measurement.

The conversions and the visits they lead to them are not guaranteed to happen over similar timeframes. If you calculate this the way you're suggesting you are making all sorts of implicit assumptions about variance in visit volume, marketing spend, conversion rates, etc.
We're essentially peeking inside a very rudimentary form of consciousness

Blatant sensationalism. There is absolutely nothing here that would suggest consciousness. If you have a mask for matching images, you can reverse that mask and imprint it as an image. What we're seeing here is a more complicated version of the same process. Heck, look more closely. Some of those "building" images have obvious chunks of pedestrians embedded, probably because the algorithm was trained on tourist photos.

Is it interesting? Yes, from algorithmic point of view. Cool as hell. However, this has nothing to do with consciousness.

If anything, some of those images are just a more elaborate version of a kaleidoscope. It's not like they run a network and got a drawing. They were looking for a particular result, did post processing, did pre-processing and tweaked the intermediate steps (by running them multiple times until the image looked interesting). Finally, we as viewers do our share of pattern matching, similar to how we see patterns in Rorschach inkblots. And there are captions that frame what we see and "guide" us to recognizing the right objects.
>certain circumstances (such as where you breach this Agreement)

It concerns me, as this still gives them full power to terminate the agreement immediately anytime they want. They never define what "certain circumstances" are, rather, they just provide one example.

EDIT: I would just like to say that I was mistaken. See the reply to my comment. That said, the US terms differ in an important way.

Every time I see a post like this it makes me wonder if other businesses have unfairly gotten a bad reputation because of anecdotes reported by anonymous customers whose version of the story is subjective, biased, possibly exaggerated, etc.

When a company is huge, even one out of 100,000 transactions going badly adds up to a lot of anecdotes.
Why doesn't the processor do this?

Preventing fraud is the most difficult part of payment processing; are they outsourcing it to the merchants?

I completely agree with you there. There are a handful of firms that do this consistently and they are leading the pack.

You seem to keep missing that it has a different effect on scope and therefore you are incorrect in insisting it does "the same thing"

This is not a minor infraction, nor is it the work of a handful developers (the GP said Google, not Chromium). This is a business decision, and a hugely flawed one at that.

IMNSHO, user-hostile business decisions should be fined in a way that does impact the business. We've long since passed the point where this can be resolved with a slap on the wrist. So yes, 5% of revenue seems like an appropriate figure to start with.

Ask HN: Why does nothing ever work in software?
So, I want to start a new hobby project with a few friends, so we think hey lets get some kind of project managemnt tool, like a kanban board, and possibly a git server with code review.

Look through a bunch of software, decide lets take "libreboard" and "gitlab". And now, you enter a world of pain.

So we think, hey docker should solve this right, just docker pull and docker run some libreboard image right. Oh no, container cannot be started, and now you have to mess with port numbers and your iptables and add nginx as SSL terminator infront of your app. More pain.

A day later, and we still havent gotten around to doing anything on the project.

Got stuck in useless software problems, why cant anything be simple, why cant it be pacman/apt-get install/-S libreboard or gitlab and have it work?! Oh noes, you have to configure user, and setup database and connection strings. Vomit.

Why is it like this? Why cant we in 2015 even BUY software and "Click" until it works and we can do what we wanted to do?!
They do in their TOS.
Could work dump the incoming steam to disk in some sensibel text format and have an asynchronous queue process the data into the database.
I feel like this was the key part: "This makes no sense as I have had hundreds of payments and not a single payment has been disputed. So how could it be true that the payments are unauthorised?" Disputed and Unauthorized are two very different things - especially with the time frame of less than a month. It would have been much more convincing if he'd said "I've had hundreds of payments and all have been authorized by the end user" I suspect there's some sort of crowd funding element but either way shall wait to see what the blog post says.
There is also a bug report from a year ago. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=381747
It's fun to think of the regular expression which matches all strings off by Levenshtein=1. For "hello" it's something like: hello|ello|hllo|helo|hell|.hello|h.ello|he.llo|hel.lo|hell.o|hello.|.ello|h.llo|he.lo|hel.o|hell.

All of these payments services are going to die within 5 years anyway. Before people get all pissy and down vote this assertion let me you remind you that a massive(and growing) portion of the world has become completely disillusioned with the global fiat currency system(or perhaps just enlightened as to how it works?), regardless, its days are numbered. I am not however entirely convinced that cryptocurrencies, namely bitcoin, aren't in fact a creation of global financiers anticipating rejection of the fiat currency model, but fuck it we'll see.
If I were doing a high number of transactions and relying on Stripe to provide all my CC processing, I would gladly pay an extra $25-50 a month to have priority support in instances where there may be fraud. Shoot, even at a couple hundred in transactions each month I would gladly pay for priority support. I would rather have a $25 expense each month than risk business loss due to real or suspected fraud. Shoot at some level I might even consider an extra nickel per charge to have a dedicated account manager who was always there for me and knew my business inside and out.
Funny thing.

I think that thinking about the design of my programs is easier once I have some amount of working code.

There's a minimum organization needed for starting to code, but every time I decide to think any further when solving a problem I'm not used to (optimally that would be always), I end up optimizing for the wrong problems and have to restructure it all later anyway.
I'm willing to wager that a huge number of Credit Card transactions are submitted with names that don't match the credit card. In 10+ years and hundreds (thousands?) of transactions, I've never submitted a credit card transaction that matched the name on my card (which has my full name, and I just use my first and last name in the fields) - I've never been rejected.
As I said, I will be writing a more lengthy blog post about this. The only reason I posted this on HN is because I want Stripe to give me attention and solve the problem. I love Stripe's API which is why I want them to solve the issue.

Also, I made a new account for my privacy.
Ask HN: What's the cheapest way to trademark something in the US?
British person here. I work with an organisation that has a trademarked product in the UK, and they want to launch in the US. Hence, they are asking about trademarking it in the US as well - we've been told it starts at $300. The cost in the UK is less than half that, so they're questioning it.

1. Is this typically the cheapest trademarking solution in the US?
2. Are there any other gotchas?
Also, depending on your processor the business' rates may vary depending on how much extra information they provide to help combat fraud. Ex: If you only give credit card info you might be in the highest bracket. If you also give zip code, you'll get dropped down to the next, etc.
This is an insightful analysis. Thanks. I'd like to think you're right about their intention :)
If most of the projects you work on use Java or Python, I would start with those. In additional to a server side language you could also focus on a server side framework that will help you in ramping up. Like http://www.dropwizard.io for example.

This is true of any auto-updating software, including your operating system and all evergreen browsers.

They do have a user ticketing system (Uservoice), there is just no user facing view of it.

When you send an email to support@stripe.com (or any of the public email addresses they put on blog posts), it goes to Uservoice. Then it gets triaged, depending on the severity of the ticket, if it falls into account or developer related support it gets assigned into a queue (at times it gets put in the wrong queue and then has to get reassigned). But long story short there is a system.

Phone support is also being worked on were told.

That said I do love Stripe but I do agree that support needs to be fixed, though I may have a bias as I see a much higher percentage of upset users than most.

I've been doing ES6 for several months now. Not once have I mistook `=>` for `>=`. Not once have I made a typo when I wanted an arrow function.

Of course any syntax can be abused in such a way to create ugly code. But if I compare

[1, 2, 3].map( a => a * a ); // [1, 4, 9]

to

[1, 2, 3].map(function(a) { return a * a; });

I prefer the former. It's more concise, and strips off a lot of visual noise, and I think it's more readable (the intent isn't wrapped in lots of boilerplate).

That doesn't mean one can't write horrible code with the arrow form. Of course you can. Furthermore, it's not necessarily something you should use all the time, because it's not completely analogous to a normal `function` because it binds `this` lexically. Which means `function` isn't going away any time soon, especially if you need to bind them dynamically.

In short: use the best (syntactic) tool for the job. There are use cases where the arrow makes sense semantically, and there are cases where it doesn't. Use as appropriate, as one should always do.

I work in real estate and am privy to the behind-the-scenes details of some of these all cash, foreign buyer deals, in markets like SF, NYC and Miami. There's nothing new about it: money laundering has been around for a long time. And that's all it is, money laundering. Chinese families are moving assets out of China and into real estate in Western countries in order to evade taxes, evade lawsuits (often for obvious theft) and/or protect themselves from political crackdowns. In Miami, it's South American families doing the same thing to flee unstable or unfavorable regimes in that part of the world.

If I were a law-abiding millennial trying to buy a house in one of these markets I would be extremely frustrated. The playing field was a little uneven before (young versus old) but the influx of foreign money has taken it to the next level. The domestic political challenge is that current homeowners have no incentive to stop it because they receive a net benefit from rising home prices. And of course the real estate machine (agents, appraisers, contractors, etc) are all incentivized to ensure it continues.

Most economists seem to agree that the best long-term solution is a high land value tax (replacing various other taxes). Let the foreign owners pay 3% of home value each year to local governments - it will encourage them to invest elsewhere, or at least discourage letting properties sit idle. But in the short term house prices in areas like California would fall.
Console games have survived for many, many years without the ability to issue critical fixes and they seemed to do ok. I've played console games since 1991 and I've never ran into a game that had bugs that made it unplayable. I think the QA cycle would be more complete if developers didn't rely on on-the-air patches.

It shouldn't really become acceptable to ship an knowingly subpar product with the attitude "we can always issue an update later."

There is an art in exploiting bugs in old games and working to glitch your way to worlds you aren't supposed to enter at that time. The kind of time and effort in finding these is really amazing. Finding and exploiting those bugs is an art form in itself. Take a look at this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq6pGJbd6Iw Skip to 12:15 for the real insanity.
I think it's an absolutely amazing piece. I know, I'm on HN, I'm not allowed to appreciate anything, but hear me out.

A lot of people here seem to be criticizing it because it has something they don't think fits everyone: austenallred thinks most people won't like its brief explanation of classes, others seem to delight in picking out things they think most people wouldn't understand and writing snarky comments about them. But "fitting everyone" would be impossible due to the gigantic range of people reading the article. This article brought together everyone: old and young, the suits and the programmers, PHP script-kiddies and artisanal Haskell sculptors into one mass of enchanted readers.

The people I know that read this have almost nothing in common: wannabe teenage intellectuals, middle managers, a kind, witty man in his 70s, spouses of programmers, people learning to code. As another commenter said, this article is something new: an article as an event. [0] An article as art. [1] But instead of dividing people, as may be expected (news events all too often separate crowds into opposing mobs; modern art separates people faster than oil and water) it brought them all together to talk about code.

Actually, Haskell is not a completely lazy language. It is (literally) "non-strict" and that means that it intersperses both modes.

GHC tries to do its best with its strictness analyzer; it looks it works in many simple cases, still blowing up in non-trivial places, producing space leaks. Although I must say that space leaks may be very well produced by a redundant strictness and people who want strictness by default seem a bit luddistic to me.

My ideal language (or rather its compiler/runtime) would do complete analyses of what strategy suits each part of the program. By the way I'm a little surprised by Haskell insistence on static analysis, disregarding tracing VM and automatic run-time profiling.
