I think the most interesting development is the increasing amount of Bitcoin being wrapped in Ethereum, somewhat validating the store of value idea, I could see it giving Bitcoin some legs But... is it like sports memorabilia at that point,

Realistically... if you wanted to pay $30/year for a set and forget photo album, is Google the best place to do that? Given how they often they deprecate things and how hard I've heard it is to restore a disabled account, I feel l

And all the while the most serious avenues for crime get forgotten, if anything they become an even greater risk because we're lulled into a false sense of security

As someone who fought battles with webpack and webpack 2, I’ve since been pleasantly surprised that each upgrade has just gotten simpler and more stable, and I can progressively delete more of my own code as the features get built in. Big t

I think it’s more if 5.0.0 doesn’t work the first time, you could simply let the community find those issues for you and by 5.0.xx it will mostly likely cover your specific setup (except for the documented api changes)

I still sometimes forget that currying is named after a person, thinking there’s some analogy to composing arguments as if they’re ingredients

They achieved this in Australia by saying "we don't care how you achieve both security and putting backdoors in, just have a 'capability'". If you don't have the ability to open a backdoor for them you've

All I know is I went with Stripe so I didn’t have to see the PayPal logo (or any logo) in my checkout process You don’t have to confuse things with an intermediate brand to wait for a user to auth a transaction in their banking app, just le

Stripe is starting to inject themselves into the transaction, turning more into Apple Pay by saying the charges API is deprecated I think OP is just looking for something similar to Stripe. I’ve found Pin Payments to be pretty good. If they

It reminds me of the whole .NET ecosystem. All of these custom magical special ways to do everything, compared to ‘dumb’ setups like node/ruby/go where the actual logic is just right there in front of you And every release .NET ju

If I’m reading it right that’s for if you control the app though. They still lose login if they follow a link from a mail client or slack app over to a mobile web app, which wouldn’t happen if they were going to an actual app

The biggest feature I'd like parity on for mobile web.... is logins. As the tracking war rages, humble little login cookies are becoming a casualty. For example if someone gets a transactional email (say a new booking notification), op

Neither are Chrome or Android (or all of the other Google products that were once silo'd from each other through privacy agreements and could have been monetized in other ways) Now they all do their best to feed your data straight into

Wholesale is only around 30% of what you pay. Distribution takes 40%, and retail (customer support and sending bills) is the other 30% As for why it's what way... probably regulatory capture

Isn't this just the same as getting tax credits for donating to a non-profit though?

The scary thing is that a large number of people (sometimes in Australia I feel like it’s more than 50%) _would_ give access to their brain, vote for it even. People crave feedback, they can be scared of themselves, so something in their he

And most likely what they're told is hey, do you really want to spend political capital on this and risk going against us, or do you want to pursue things you can change enough to get reelected

They can't make it illegal to work for cryptocurrencies. Or to spend them for digital services like content, anonymous server hosting, or paying people for work. It's just not possible without destroying cryptography itself

I think it's deliberate, he never gives a 'maybe this, maybe that' answer. He does the analysis, but then does an intuitive glance at the end and takes a side one way or the other Sure he's wrong a lot, but at least he&#

But the whole question of "which payment method do you want to use?" is unnecessary complexity if they're sitting there with a card in their hand. Wouldn't it be better to let the front end service handle that question,

I had this exact experience recently too! Stripe was so easy at first so my estimate to upgrade was only a day, but the number of concepts and the muddled way they’re introduced meant day after day I was still working out if I really needed

30% of a $5 app that they found through the app store? Yeah maybe 30% of a $50/month SaaS service just so a client can have a mobile front for something they mostly use on a desktop? Surely that's ridiculous
