It's a very cool app. It would be great to tap on a plane and see its source and destination airports. My kids always ask where I think a plane is going and it would be great to have a way to easily tell them!

I don't think they're saying that at all. I think the point was, a payroll tax won't necessarily increase costs for a company because it would be offset by eliminating the current healthcare costs.

It depends on if your company capped how much you could accrue. However much you accrued should be paid out. Nothing.

I'm guessing the crumple zone on this is going to be better than a vehicle with an internal combustion engine! That and the fact that semis are everywhere. This being on the road doesn't worry me in the slightest given the other

I suggest reading the book "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success". The author's TED talk is interesting: https://www.ted.com/talks/carol_dweck_the_power_of_believing...

With EVs that you can charge at home, that means that for your normal driving that you probably do 80 to 90 % of the time, you NEVER need to stop to "fill up" because you charge every night at home. The tradeoff is that when you

This seems unlikely given that the Volt has been canceled and much of the momentum is moving towards electric only platforms, even from the major manufacturers.

You don't know that. You have no idea what kind of health issues their families face. And yes, sometimes you are just paying for other people's care, right up until the time that you need it. That is, after all, the point of in

A 1.1% savings account would have lost money due to inflation over 20 years. The author's methodology seems to subtract each year for inflation, so if he's comparing a post-inflation number year to year, and it's the same 20

In the example where you cache the todo list and use an array of the todo item ids plus the max updated time, why is that approach better than just updating the list updated_at time whenever a child record is changed? With your approach, ea

I have, and I can tell you that the speed at which they are able to search for transactions is disturbing. Regardless of if it's related to indexes or another cause, it's still a huge issue for people who have to use PayPal. That appears t

That's certainly one way to look at it. In my opinion, Stripe should be the entity responsible for fraud management and not left up to the individual implementations, but I can certainly see your point of view as well.

Thanks Ross. I can certainly understand an address typo, but a CVC typo seems like a valid reason for denying a transaction. Glad to hear that you're aware and are working on tools to help us!

Thanks for the response and follow up details. I do realize that this is possible with Stripe, but when using software that already integrates with Stripe, doing additional custom integration is less than ideal. I would also argue that it

Thanks for the response. I use Stripe for 3 companies and absolutely love it! While giving us full control is nice, it doesn't help when we're using a pre-built integration, like an ecommerce platform that supports Stripe. In this case,
