Having worked on the banking side, I’d say it’s because bankers hate technology. You’d be amazed at what some people will do to avoid it. I had one guy retire in 2005. When a new account manager took over his clients, we learned he’d been t

It is. Illegal stuff happens all the time.

Yup. I’m just pointing out that tips get stolen that way very often. You should ask the server you think your tipping if they get those tips. Far too often you’re just overpaying for coffee.

I feel like stripe changed their api every day. They support legacy apis forever but you could definitely have a full time job keeping up with the latest version of stripe.

I didn’t realize this was Zed until reading your comment. Now I’m smirking thinking of Mr. Shaw getting frustrated by implementing payments “the hard way.”

I used to tip the highest option at the “woke” coffee shop that I went to on the daily. Then, I asked the barista if she got the tips. She said the employees never saw any of those add on tips and I should give her cash if I wanted to tip _

I’ve talked to one of the founders of stripe on the phone after tweeting a complaint about their product. This was probably ~2014 but I’ve been an advocate for them ever since. It feels like a personal slight to read this blog post. Hopefu

Just to explain, people selling stolen cards have a reputation that makes them money. If they have a reputation for selling cards that have already been burned, they can’t sell each card for as much. But, I’d they have a good way to test th

This happened to me with Citibank. But, I called citibank and got a new card number. Then, citibank gave the new card number to the fraudsters when they tried to charge me the next month. Unfortunately, I’m going through a divorce right now

I don’t think “liberal” or “conservative” are the most important adjectives to describe this woman. First and foremost, she seems stupid. Her ideas about liberalism are dumb and her conservative truth teller is Candice Owens. Sorry, but she

I don’t understand snaps. They really make me only want to run Debian.

Does it give you the callouts based on the areas that you’ve clicked? I’d love to know how you did this. I should have done something similar on a project but we never quite figured it out.

Yup. Why break 2FA when we could have the Obamaphone program work with the case workers so that they don’t loose track of people in the first place? Also, homelessness isn’t the problem we think it is. It’s millions of problems. Any solutio

Do these devices not have any hard drive at all? Why not have 24 hours on the device and upload when your wifi isn’t being jammed?

It blew my mind in San Francisco when uber and Lyft had huge wait times but I could hail a cab on the street no problem. The cab had free water in it too.

Agreed. I love the idea of not negotiating pay all the time.

AT&T had a project to run fiber into every home in America in the 90s. It was scheduled to be completed by 2000. Then, the Bush administration broke them up...

My favorite web framework is still Bash on Balls but I like to see that Frotran has entered the game.

I feel like the real problem is the technology not the law. The technology is kept by the intelligence agencies who then ask the courts to give them permission to use their own systems. Here's my fix: put the systems under the control

Not your question but I think the bash source code is the worst I've ever seen.

I think you're misunderstanding the difference between sobriety checks and these inland boarder checks. In a sobriety check, you retain all of your rights as a citizen. In these boarder stops, you are treated the same as someone enteri

Our prison system in America is so much worse than mugshots. We have a system where you can buy your way out of jail until your hearing (i.e. parole). But, it's not available to poor people. Guess who have worse outcomes. It's so

I feel like any app should implement a pattern like this: action -> UI recognition of action -> display API response For actions that succeed 99% of the time, I think the "UI recognition of action" can be the success

I hate ycombinator comments like this. Now I need to go procrastinate by writing a tool where I can go through the YC application every quarter.
