I'm very sorry about these issues, and appreciate the vote of confidence. Looking back at the state of our fraud controls in July 2012, we've definitely come a long way. We're currently testing a revamped set of fraud prevent

Thanks for bringing this up. A couple of clarifications (I work on risk at Stripe): 1. This failure mode existed up until a few months ago, but has since been fixed. In order to avoid anyone wasting time, we have systems that alert us to po

> I like stripe - a lot - but I really wished that you would separate marketing from fact here and make it plain whether or not transactions for multiple stripe account holders are passed through the same merchant account or not. That's

I wouldn't quite think about it in terms of a merchant accounts -- it's an old term in a changing industry, and it doesn't apply to Stripe users. They get the same benefits that they'd get with a merchant account (independent reputation, fu

I work at Stripe, and I can assure you that the situation you described would not apply to any of our users. All Stripe accounts are independent of each other, and the actions of one user do not affect anyone else. We've worked closely with

As others here have mentioned, the questions on the jobs page are explicitly designed to not be cute puzzles. If you don't have a Github profile or other code samples, these questions help us get a sense of how you think about programming.

There is quite a bit of screening/evaluation behind the scenes, but one of our goals is to not have legitimate businesses worry about any of it.

Good question. A lot of PayPal's issues stem from the draconian fraud measures they need to employ to handle user-to-user payments. Our business and fraud problems are fundamentally different because we don't support this use case. Addition

So rather than acquiring strategically pointless startups like casual gaming site Kongregate, they'd be wise to ramp up their efforts to compete with Steam or even acquire whole digital distribution + consumption stacks like OnLive itself.

Regarding your first point - you could enable a special Anon mode and have the user jump through hoops to comment anonymously. I believe impulsive upvotes and comments are the primary reason for declining quality and making real identities

It would be a big change, but enforcing real identities could help. Very few top commenters on HN are anonymous, and people are much more likely to be rude or intellectually lazy when no one knows its them. Given HN's readership there is a

I worked with logoworks.com last year and was satisfied with the output considering the price. If you do go with them, I would recommend the $400 package because you will most likely need more than two revisions from the designer. http://l

High ebooks prices are mostly due to the 'agency pricing' model adopted by publishers specifically for ebooks. In a nutshell, publishers do not want retailers like Amazon to discount ebooks too heavily and ultimately force publishers to acc

Not holding grudges and not worrying about things that I can not change often seem like mental garbage collection techniques to me.
