If you omit the domain it shouldn't leak, though as with many things web it's browser-specific: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie#Domain_and_path

This is exciting news. How do you see `netlify dev` comparing to `firebase serve`? The `--live` feature sounds great and I can imagine the config variables are handled better, but otherwise I'm anticipating a similar experience. Is t

To add an interesting layer, financial institutions are investing in these solutions. Goldman previously invested in Plaid, and Fidelity invested in Quovo which takes a similar approach. At some point I think it's on the banks to offe

I love content like this. I've found my knowledge becomes more specialized as I age, and content like this gives me an opportunity to grok other specialities with relative ease. For whatever reason (I'm a software engineer), I pa

Very cool. Any chance Stripe lifts some restrictions on prohibited businesses soon? Virtual cards can be particularly useful in travel, but that use case on Stripe has long been considered prohibited: https://stripe.com/us&

I like this, but that's probably because I buy 5 pizzas or so fairly frequently and hate choosing the toppings. That said, I'd prefer roulette on their medium pizzas that seem to be on sale perpetually. That with a modest upcharg

Interesting to see Rails simultaneously embracing React with the Webpacker gem while also trying to offer a better solution in Turbolinks + Stimulus. DHH's complaints here about React (and Redux especially) resonate with me, but I have

I may be mistaken, but I think the meat of this will be in post 2? It sounds like your taking React's render() and replacing it with ERB. But, how are you giving the ERB file access to state and props? I suppose if it's done well

I believe the 3% could still be shouldered by the business, if I'm swiping with them. Venmo would just be sitting in the middle of the transaction so they can prompt me to charge my friends. I think this is possible with Marqeta today

If this card could be funded by my points-generating credit card - with no extra cost - I would be very happy.

To me, the Kapor's are effectively claiming Uber has breached their trust. They also indicate they have been a "team player" during prior incidents: "As early investors in Uber, starting in 2010, we have tried for years
