I really think you're on to something here. I see at my place of work adding additional complexity as something to be celebrated in terms of overcomplicated pipelines, "Big Data" for questionable reasons etc. I'm startin

If it's foreclosed, is it just a waiting period? After that can't the be assumed by someone or government entity and then just sell it at auction?

Stripe specifically has a great subscription model. When Zuora was getting started and gaining momentum they didn't. We've recently onboarded a Stripe Subscription with their connect accounts even and it's been extremely smoo

This so much. Worst company I've ever had the misfortune to interact with, integrating with them is a disaster, don't waste your time. As a developer or CTO somehow they seem to get the ear of someone in business management or fin

Also, when talking to them they were stuck on requiring photos of a passport as a requirement for the recipient of the payment if I remember right. In the U.S. That's a non-starter as many people don't have passports and even if t

Straight up this company should be dissolved. Is there any precedent of a corporation having its charter or whatever allows it to exist revoked for bad faith? It seems obvious now they completely indend to break the law as part of doing bus

Assuming this does nothing to change the trend of whatever executive decided this was how to turn around some metric. Most likely profit, we can start calling it officially a leading indicator of a march towards irrelevance. See Yahoo! I&#x

Amazing! This more than anything else seems so sci-fi to me. Reminds me of the Diamond Age somehow. In the US we have so much space we take for granted building a new road a new subdivision a new 5acre parking lot. Imagine if there was no m

32 points as of now. Not that many upvotes really. Stripe has hundreds of employees most of which read hackernews, YC alums also you get people upvoting everything from the company to see their investment succeed and finally fans. Stripe is

Exactly why ORMs are a bad idea. I've always wondered whether ORMs help or harm. I feel like the one reason to use it is if you have a development team that isn't capable of writing SQL which in itself is bad.

Up next the Austin method. Local competition fills the void providing better service than before proving that it's the technology not the company that's making the difference. Being Canada it would be funny to see a government cor

What did I just read there, and why do I suddenly feel the need to buy gold? This article tries to provide some sort of muddy historical perspective with Uber cutting out cabbies but it's been said in a million articles much better.

This is hilarious but there's no way in hell they'll be able to extract rent. They'll get their 90K back and a note from the mayor or something and the Presidio Hieghts owners will have to pay up in donations to Ed Lees campa

30 minutes causes time anxiety, so I couldn't imagine myself using it. How about a simple change to 90 min on par with a muni transfer, that way you might be able to run an actual errand. The current version is for commuting only, seem

How exactly is this not just people being fired? I understand they get severance so that's nice for employees, but what's the goal of doing it this way from the companies perspective?

Whomever dreamt up the idea of Indentured Servitude as a idea and sold it to ship owners was quite an amoral businessman. Definitely parallels to the passage of migrants to Europe from Africa, but imagine after that ordeal they'd have
