I never said customer support was bad, in fact they're very responsive. I am pointing out how Azlo (Stripe's partnered bank) is telling me it's a Stripe problem and Stripe telling me it's a Azlo problem. It makes more se

I don't think 300/year for a bank is itself a deal breaker. Just if it's a crappy bank and I can spend a couple hours fixing that, then it's well worth the 300/yr savings + having a better bank. The trouble is Strip

About 1, I think Stripe Atlas will help me handle accounting if all my transactions come through there. No? That's one of the reasons I bothered with the migration (other being just having a nice consolidation) Actually I use Capital O

I switched from Dropbox->Seafile after Dropbox stopped supporting BTRFS. Seafile is minimalistic like syncthing, but also has an iOS app that will do photo syncing which is important for me.

Well even if it weren't higher capacity, it has other advantages -- no parking/leaving the car, potentially no ticket gates or waiting for a train... etc. Trying new ideas isn't a waste of everyone's time, it's rese

I initially made this so I could browse HN or Reddit while eating in front of my computer. One year later, it has an extensible plugin architecture so any site can be supported, multiple languages, and there are aready 14 plugins: ( https:&

Coincidentally I tried the python client just earlier today and was blown away. I never even had to record my voice, I just typed two words for the wake word and it was 95% accurate in picking them up even with heavy background noise. I am

This broke my accessibility extension for Chrome that lets users control the browser with their voice instead of hands. Since voice isn't counted as a "gesture" the user can't say "play" to start a a video. It&

Although I don't understand the US's involvement in this -- a man breaking the rules is being put to justice, and I'm very glad. I'm also impressed by the feds work in the cryptocurrency space. In recent years the fed ha
