There's a client-side only implementation of Stripe Checkout, which is what the OP might be using. [tutorial example]( https://designcode.io/advanced-react-hooks-handbook-stripe-c... )

Perhaps in your part of the world. The author is based in South Africa. Your statements seem entirely US based (or Western). In South Africa teachers don't need post-grad, many don't even have grad. South Africa also don't ha

Do you mind sharing who’s doing the PCBA? I’m looking to get a similar sized electronics project into production, but don’t know how to vet suppliers.

What stands out to me about all this eVTOL/air taxi vehicles are that they operate in 3D space instead of 2D like cars. This means, even though more inefficient than cars, you can have more “lanes” to operate in. On roads, you have to

Quite a bold statement to make with no substantial backing. If you have any experience with drones or following this air taxi movement, then you’d see many working prototypes out there. This stuff is not so far fetched. For fun, go look at

Sparkfun is a great goto place for electronic stuff like this. However, I’m sure there’s more specialized solar panel sources. Https://sparkfun.com

Thanks. I'm fairly familiar with that approach. More looking for one of those wix.com type services, where a non technical person can manage loading blog posts or changing the content.

Bank-to-bank money transfers in South Africa is a mostly solved problem. (Electronic funds transfer/known as EFT locally) - payments above coffee-shop prices often happen by EFT. - it arrives within 2 days, bank sends proof of payment

Similar to many Mastercard/Visa cards. The electronic chip on the card is capable of actually storing the balance and then syncing it back when it reaches a terminal machine that’s connected to the internet. In my experience, many (mos

Sounds like a new form of ICBMs - reusable ICBMs. I wonder what technology like this would mean for the US’ nuclear arsenal and the cost and complexity of maintenance thereof?

Wow, this looks like a great service! Out of interest what are the average response times to generate a clip of one or two sentences from a configured voice? Imagining the easy text-to-speech solution the OP could build on this resemble API

This truly was an awesome service. Back in the day when I started out dev'ing on iOS, I remember times when it would take up to 4 weeks to get an app out. It was painful, as you'd wait weeks to get a rejection on some simple sub-c

Seems like they've got some server problems and are working on it ( https://twitter.com/arstechnica/status/1080502151363715072 ) It's also gradually coming back together, one page resource at a time.

You could do the same in a pipe. I'm sure this problem has already been solved, given the thousands of road miles in tunnels that already exist. :)

Thanks :) (1) A mixture of the two. We do allow you to write code that we host for you, to make prototyping (or building small features) easier and quicker, and you can access it all through the API, so you could do everything through a few
