Not just each failed attempt, but every transaction. Previously, Radar only checked the card on a subscription at first use. It will now check every transaction unless you opt-out. So not only do you have to opt-out of Radar Standard, you a

Between this and the Invoice feature cost increase a couple years back, Stripe now has a track record of being disingenuous when it comes to pricing. If they need more money to run the feature, just increase the cost per transaction and tel

My understanding is if you opt-out and move to the Lite plan you get AI powered protection nonsense but lose access to the default block rule "if payment matches one or more values in default Stripe block lists". That makes zero s

Also, good luck sending in a PR and getting it merged. Unless you are part of Matt’s inner circle, it isn’t happening. Even the most basic bug fix PRs are routinely ignored.

Development has dropped off a cliff over the last couple of months. The release cycle has moved from quarterly to yearly. He's basically taking his ball and going home. My guess is we'll see more internal initiatives like this AI

Diamond Salt is still made this way north of Detroit. Almost all restaurant salt in the United States is sourced here.

Not only this, but a user who understands how to switch their default search to Google is likely not being fooled into clicking on search ads anyways.

Element visibility should not be triggered via focus or hover. Visibility states should be triggered with a button click or enter key press.

Someone has been running a massive fake DMCA notice bot targeting website contact forms with links to Google Cloud Storage files for the last year. I wonder if this is in response to this ongoing campaign?

I could see that. The reason I think it could be more extreme is the AppStore. I don’t have stats to back this up, but I would assume they make far more money from the iOS/iPadOs AppStore than Mac AppStore. It never truly caught on wit

I have a theory that they’re not actually intending to make it more touch friendly but rather they are trying to unify the interfaces between MacOS and iPadOS for when iPadOS supersedes MacOS. Slowly boiling the frog, so you don’t notice wh

Agreed. I think the long term strategy is to continue to iterate on iPadOS until it's close to feature parity with macOS and then drop macOS. It may take a decade or longer. Instead of rethinking the desktop UI to fit touch interaction

Agreed. This is going to be my exact use case for Universal Control.

My instances have stayed up but I am having problems with API calls. If your instance is down, I wonder if it's isolated to CloudSQL Proxy connections. Seems like this could be an issue at the API level.

A few years back, I stumbled on the master transit plan for the Metro Detroit region prior to the freeway system being built. The original plan called for rail running in the median of the freeways, similar to how spots are in Chicago. The

I think this is credit card company policy and not specifically Stripe. IIRC, there is some language regarding using your own credit card because it could potentially be used to give yourself a loan. Credit cards have a much higher APR and

You're right; regardless of which model you pick, one side is going to be affected more. I'm sure you ran the math on it and saw Stripe customers skewed closer to the $10/mo sub than the $1,000/mo sub. In the survey, the

You're welcome; appreciate the response. For what its worth, I have yet to get an email about the increase and HN is the first I've heard of it. I should have known something was up when Stripe sent out the email survey two days a

I feel that spinning this as a several-year grace period is a bit disingenuous. I'm a huge Stripe fan, but this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Here's the exact notification that went out on April 6, 2018 in the dashboard: &qu
