And even if it did go closed-souce, your existing install can run for ages because the vendor cannot force upgrade. One of my favorite features of FOSS.

Or, you could be a government agency that implemented a method for citizens to upload compliance data - so they have to upload broken CSVs into a broken queue system. Get the worst of both worlds, and deployed as a green-field project in 20

Sorry. I'll try one more time then. Stripe is currently passing on these revenues. Stripe has been hostile to these revenue streams for more than a decade. You seem to think their behavior will change after an acquisition. An acquisiti

You're obviously much smarter and more knowledgeable than me. I'm just going to abandon this conversation.

PayPal lets cannabis adjacent business get paid via MasterCard as a PayPal funding source. Perhaps you are confusing cannabis with cannabis-adjacent business (grow lights, compliance solutions, etc)

It's not billions. My assertion is they will throw away processing millions to ensure they can continue to process billions. You'd ignore a pence to pick up a pound.

And yet some on this thread seem to think Stripe wouldn't shut off valid, law abiding paying customers.

Stripe only accepts the ones where there is cross-over and relationships between high-level employees and investors. They restrict the ones that are smaller and independent. I think that Stripe will shut off paying customers BECAUSE I HAVE

I know it's about risk. Perhaps my point was not clear? Simply put: Stripe selectively applies their own policy about "restricted" transaction types.

I'm sure that PayPal does serve them (first hand knowledge). I'm sure that Stripe selectively restricts them (first hand knowledge). I do believe that Stripe will execute they same Stripe pattern in the merged company which will r

Or, because as you say it's money (I agree) the Stripe will put their "morals" in place - with the financial result they reduce risk, get less chargebacks and lower costs - then pass the savings on to the C-suite. Morals, gen

Then how do other processors go over the Visa and MC rails for these transaction types? How does Stripe allow some and then block others?

In the dot-com situation earnings "didn't matter" as long as there was growth. We[1] all believed profit would come eventually. The lesson learned from that experience was that earning do sort of matter. It turns out there is

The lines (rows) in Tetris have to become complete and then disappear to make room for the new falling pieces. In code the thing has to become stable, can't just keep packing more and more noise onto it.

What can I add? I know the domain could be found. But how did Google index a page that is example.com/$MD5.html - guessing 128bit numbers is hard. I have visited that page from a signed-in Chrome profile.
