not a different day. that post is from 3 hours ago.
- metadat 4y agoI meant that today is a different day from yesterday, and the day before.. It's a common English idiom. I don't have the reference links handy but the TL;DR is that Stripe has played dirty lots of times before. The formula is: 1. Pretend they want to acquire a company with a product they like 2. Then, once they waste enough of the competitors time (buying buffer enabling them to figure out the secret sauce) 3. Clone stamp the competitors product, fucking them over royally. Also leverage the tremendous public reach, visibility, and clout of Stripe itself to promote their clone. It's a very ugly and distasteful way of doing business. It aligns with the values of the Farenghi on Star Trek. It's naiive on the victims part, sure, but Stripe is dishonest and shan't be trusted.
- iamcreasy 4y agoI do not know about other instance. Could you please share?
- metadat 4y ago"Stripe hiring issues make some lose job offers" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29403976 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29403976 I think I was confused, and I apologize. There was some prior drama with the Bolt founder claiming Stripe was colluding against them. It seems an error on my part, an honest one but still incorrect. Sorry, again.
