The sad thing is that after using xmonad for the last few months I'm confident having xmonad style virtual workspaces independent from the monitors is ultimately the best solution. At one point I want IDE|chat split. The other time Bro

Thanks. Just to be clear, I appreciate the effort and do not say it was something illegal to do. I was just wondering about theoretical consequences of cloning UI/tool of a successful company software with the reason of the tool/i

Yet we have patents for rubber band scrolling :) (someone posted a comment here about this scrolling patent but then removed, not sure why)

Are this kind of full clones legal? I understand that the server-side implementation is based on GitHub as a black box but I'm wondering about the blatant clone of the UI.

No, Braintree is using Wells Fargo in US as a Merchant Service Provider. This has nothing to do with the ownership.

Unfortunately it's interchange + 0.9%, not just 0.9%. Interchange ranges ~1.2-2% so the difference gets much smaller. With a 100€ minimum the 10c transaction fee becomes 10c only after the first 1000 transactions (1000*0.1=100). If ign

Braintree processes ~11b/year. Paypal ~$145b/y. This year Paypal expects to process on mobile twice as much as Braintree is processing as a whole. The margins in this business are very small, .9% transaction fees on 11b are not th

TechCrunch story is a bit juicier and easier to digest. Maybe that's the reason, no idea. That article also mentions the rumor that Braintree has been in stalled talks with Square. That's an interesting rumor but unfortunately att

Title is a bit misleading, Braintree is not acquired by Paypal. 1. The transaction is planned between eBay and Braintree. 2. At this point eBay has plans to acquire Braintree (agreed to acquire).

eBay acquired Paypal in 2002.

Ah no, my English sucks, had no idea what "does not levy" meant :)

I'm afraid all reputable providers have chargeback fees. That's something banks charge from the merchant [1] so it doesn't make sense for the provider to take that risk. Provider does add a bit of extra to cover their side of

It looks like a spin-off from leetchi.com [1] crowdfunding site. My impression is that the mangopay itself is also more geared towards group-buy etc ventures. If they do not provide a credit card vault that you can take to another payment c

GMail has a little trick that you can postfix anything to your email address username separated with a "+". For example my.name+linkedin@gmail.com. Later this +postfix makes it easier to find out which source is the leak. Most of

These keyboards come with Cherry MX switches. Very hard to find them cheaper than $1 a piece. For a 104 key keyboard that's already over $100 :) In addition to better feel and ergonomics [1], switches also have better maintenance prope

I wish to see a similar site made for changing passwords. One use case is when the password storage is compromised but also helps when you grow more paranoid over time and need to rotate and max out the passwords.

Most of the Plus additions are reasonable as a separate commercial offering. What concerns me most is that "on-the-fly reconfiguration" and "advanced load balancing" [1] has been introduced as Plus. It feels like they fr

Interesting that Braintree went to the whole EU at once while Stripe seems to take it country by country. Not sure if it's related but at around that time Braintree changed the pricing to add Interchange fee that depends on the card us

The cause for the 'network traffic anomaly' was not identified and it was big enough to contain usernames, emails and hashed passwords (no data-blobs) [1]. I find it hard to believe that a programming or devops error could result

Thanks! I considered KeePass but I wanted to have a 2-factor auth with a yubikey usb token so went with a LastPass Premium. Now I see that KeePass has both TOTP TFA and also yubikey support so -- way to go -- many thanks for the heads-up!
