Adyen seems to have higher revenue, a faster growth rate, and stronger overall financials. By nearly double. They're at $25b. How is $35b justified?

The article doesn’t, however the study does. You can see it’s circled in the map along with China and India. Read the study.

Wait a second, there was just a report put out by NASA that stated the world is become more green, specifically citing the Amazon Rain Forest as an area that’s more green than it was 20 years ago. Something seems completely wrong here. htt

Sound engineering. If you're a good sound engineer, you can basically get any album or record signed. All major labels look for excellent sound engineering first, and creativity second. This may sound counterintuitive, however if somet

Adyen is actually 23b as the 19b you mentioned is in Euros. It’s also noteworthy that Stripe has about 1/2 the revenue and the same growth as Adyen, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out in the public markets given that t

I strongly disagree with this. I enjoy the Uber experience and the customer support that the company provides. To me, Uber is a great company both as a customer and entrepreneur.

They built an incredible amount of infrastructure to support it, better than anyone due to the fact they were all ex payment execs. Business cards are nuanced and they didn't focus on it, though they're about 1:1 with Stripe.

There definitely is not. Good idea though, however the margins would be razor thin. Possibly too thin.

Adyen will be better if you have more consumer cards vs. business cards being charged. Nearly 100% chance of this, otherwise Stripe may win.

It's hard to pronounce and means nothing.

Adyen is ~$10b startup and actually significantly larger than Stripe. They don't get a lot of press because they have a terrible name, most likely. They are significantly better for large consumer facing companies than anyone.

So does this mean that quantum computing will become more viable? Since in quantum computing, calculations are accomplished by measuring the spin of an electron, I would imagine this would increase the throughput to a measurement instrumen

Your version of "on call" is not congruent with ours or most of the world. When a doctor or DBA is "on call", they have to get up, fix something, and spend hours if not days doing it. We simply enforce communication. If you want to call

Hey Elbear, that's not in our contracts, at all. We do make sure our developers communicate within 10 hours regardless of the timezone. We feel that is more than reasonable and it's worked extremely well for Toptal. However, that's not i
