One word why I think this will work out well: money. I can see FB/MS tapping into deep pockets to offer some top streamers a great deal to move platforms. If they get enough of them to move and the service is stable, intuitive and fun

Well this blew up, and the deal got pulled anyways.

I don’t get the hate on this offering. It’s a huge gamble for sure, but the upside is there if they pull it off. Do I think they will? No, I don’t. However, as long as someone isn’t betting their life savings on this I don’t see or take any

Makes a ton of sense. I’ve experienced and dealt with a lot of customer confusion with Facebook, Google etc sign in where they lose access to that account & then it’s just a cascading failure of whack a mole trying to have them get thei

Reducing friction in a signup flow is key and that’s what FB login did. It made signing up easy as people already had an account. You could pull some data attributes depending on what you were looking for but overall, it made signup flows s

AZ salaries, when factoring in COL, are more than most tech jobs in California. This is leaving the allure of non-valued startup options but on average the salaries I’ve seen (yes, n=1) are in the realm of the upper curve of Bay Area salari

New or used? If new - the best bet is to call your local dealers and talk to them. I'm aware of many dealers that haven't turned a unit in 3 weeks now, they need the business and likely will be willing to give you a great deal bec

It's already happening. Auction houses are down significantly, and you're seeing like 70-80% of MMR value at auctions for vehicles ( https://publish.manheim.com/en/services/valuation ). It depends in which

I’m sure I’ll get downvoted but why should it be? Stripe has thousands of items in the backlog across many areas, and in a larger company there’s prioritization at many different levels. I’m happy that they addressed this but I often see on

Agreed. Renting my router/modem makes sense to me too. I rent an apartment and if I had my own place, I would own my equipment as I’d want the extenders, more cat drops etc but with renting a place it’s much easier to rent the combo. I

I pay $8/month to rent mine, and it’s worth it. It’s a dual modem/router & works fine. Considering a nighthawk or similar would end up being the equivalent of ~24 months or so of renting the unit I have it makes sense to rent.

Isn’t senior debt always the highest pecking order in the event the company fails? I thought that’s how the bond agreements worked, but I haven’t dealt too terribly much with senior notes so if you know more please expand :)

They don’t have a ton of cash to tap into it would appear on their balance sheet. Selling bonds is an odd move, they don’t have any real collateral for the investors to get back their money first making it incredibly risky to hold the bond.

Sure, you could. We more or less do this today, but if you need to setup a new workflow to take payments (one-time or recurring) there's a lot of work already done for you in the Stripe.js ecosystem. So in our case, to take one-time pa

We are, indeed. As far as PCI compliance, I was just saying your comment about more work is true depending on your setup w/o using Stripe.js. In our business we already have our own proprietary fraud models and other PII we secure, so

We’re big-time Stripe users (ACH mostly to the tune of $300M+ annually) but soon will be branching into debit/credit & in the research so far have found the Radar product impressive. Having this information up-front and center make

Considering they just released they had 60 positive tests, they’re still testing.

I’d take a look at SVB, Brex and others (PNC is good as well) depending on what you need the business account for. I have one with Chase and haven’t had any issues but it’s a small account anyways so might not apply for you.

I fully believe that the former CEO didn’t actually know what was going on and was just looking at top line metrics. You have this in many companies, not the fraud part, but the mantra to be succcessful at whatever cost. In this instance, t

Sorta. This feels more like Jack/activist investor coming to common ground on the direction of the company and also a proper succession plan for Dorsey to walk away from Twitter. He only owns 2% of the company, and at this point I’d im

The same reason that Quality Assurance or Manual testers as been re-branded as “Quality Engineering / Quality Engineers”. Everyone wants to be an engineer and it’s a recruiting tactic. Do you see many DBAs anymore? I haven’t seen them

Except there’s enough cases now that show that isn’t the case. The H1N1 was more “mild” than the speculation but COVId-19 isn’t. H1N1 also managed to be starved out more or less, but so far that doesn’t seem to be a real possibility for COV

I do, but only if you seemed like you mucked up part of the interview. I’ll go check Github, spend 2-3 minutes googling the source code to see if you copied/pasted or if it’s yours. I’ve passed a few candidates who bombed technical int

I need to go back and check, we might be in one of their test groups as I haven’t heard any issues with 2FA. We do a catch-all and based on the error, we prompt the user to manually provide their banking info to proceed. Worth noting I don’

Not even close to true. We’re one of the larger clients with Plaid and that’s not on Plaid but the service provider to not provide a manual entry. Plaid works great and we’ve ran into next to no issues with customers linking Plaid

It’s such an infrequent purchase that you don’t have a baseline for what is a good price or not. It’s not like when you’re buying food and you always buy bananas for $1 and you stop to grab a few items at somewhere new & bananas are $2

See a new doctor. Getting blood work is super important and can help pinpoint if you’ve got something else going on. When dieting it’s also important to weigh yourself once a week, ideally in the morning about 20-30 minutes after you wake u

Common practice to sue or appeal the decision to make sure your company didn’t get screwed out of it based on unfair terms. You can also find out where you went wrong on your RFP and make adjustments for the future. Knowing why Amazon lost
