Currently, the biggest issue I’ve been having is that their support group seems to be disconnected from each other and from automated processes. The platform is otherwise pretty solid, as long as nothing breaks.

From the docs ( https://stripe.com/docs/tax/checkout ) it looks like Apple/Google Pay is disabled when Tax is enabled. I wonder if there is a technical limitation there or if that is something that will be supp

The big problem that immediately pops up to me is: a good chunk of the examples of low wage workers are in fast-food (i.e. the McDonald's example). Just about every fast food company out there is a franchise, and I'd be very surpr

I think it's regional. When I lived in the midwest all of the appliances came with the apartment. Now I live in Los Angeles and you have to bring your own fridge.

That's an interesting take. Facebook is basically Television 2.0, with all of the advantages (free entertainment) that come with inherent costs (advertising), and as was pointed out in a sibling, with TV the advertisers didn't hav

That's a good question. AFAIK Stripe already had their magical Dunning rules for retries, which were supposedly already optimized via machine learning. I'm curious if this is substantially different from that.

I hear that argument all of the time, but in reality the colleges aren't the ones giving out loans. What will probably happen is that loans will start being more difficult to get, which in turn will make getting into college even more

Many of them already are, but they aren't "sexy". I personally do a lot of .Net, and MVC 5 has relatively good defaults if you just install and go. ASP.NET Core is even better in some regards (CSRF tokens are completely trans

Hey, I was just looking over the GitLab product page[0] and it looks like there might be a small issue with the FAQ: Under the "Can I add more users to my account" faq it indicates that additional users would be billed at 50% upon

I know exactly what you are talking about. I'm just really afraid of what the knock-on effects are going to be of starting kids out in walled gardens. I wouldn't be an engineer today if it wasn't for the fact that it was poss

Yep, and that code isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Big, boring, slow moving enterprise software. I work on one of these systems.

I think contemporary parlance pretty much has TLS and SSL as synonyms, as they are effectively two means to achieving the same ends.

Nothing is wrong with hubs, but now there is yet one more thing you have to have available (at least until they become more prolific in external devices)

Freaky... I had the exact same thing except it was when I was 18. I also ended up moving to another area which has helped my allergies out a lot.

I think there was an underlying theme that this post was about a progression in time. At the beginning, its all about ideas, no companies (you shouldn't need lawyers and accountants for a small project). Later on its a Sub-chapter C c
