I bought a small amount (4 shares) of SpaceX stock on IPO day for $160/share. This Cursor purchase does not upset me as a very minor shareholder. Elon Musk seems to have a unique ability to help grow companies that lead to shareholder

Looks like Outlook may be having issues. I was fumbling around trying to get 2FA codes from one of our providers, and discovered no emails were arriving. Microsoft's status page is still showing all green, but we're down, and it s

I have droplets in a few regions in the US. They are all up except my Droplet in SFO2. Anyhow, it appears it's DigitalOcean, not you. My droplet has been popping up and falling back down. Hopefully they'll get it all fixed soon!

I just wanted to toss out one quick idea that worked for me. First, my experience with the standing desk: 1) If standing still, my inclination is to lock one knee, cock my hip and lean in. This gets pretty uncomfortable and is probably not

So, here are a couple of arguments for: 1. I have a relative who is an MD. He was recruited cross-country at great expense. (Average cost to recruit an MD can be about $250K). So, if his comp was $200K/year and it cost $250K to recruit

So, first, congratulations on the huge success! That's a significant amount of income. Second, make sure you have your taxes straight. The S-corp thing is a reasonable idea, but only touch that if you have an accountant doing it for yo

I'll share some of my first thoughts. It seems that DO might be more stable as a long-term product than, say, Google Cloud. Google is famous for their Google Graveyard, so it's possible that Google may kill Cloud, since they are s

Yup, it does seem to be coming back alive. A 3rd party API that I use is in an Azure data center. My customers were reporting outages, but I just got a text from a customer that things are working in real life. So, coming back up!

I can confirm this is also my status. Thanks for the reassurance that it's not just my instance.

Anyone have any inside contacts at Google who have more information than their useless status page? In particular, I have a high availability instance (HA!), with a bonus read replica. The main server and the failover server seem to be malf

One of my Cloud SQL instances disappeared from my dashboard on and off. Of course, that makes me nice and nervous.

Hi Tara - first, thanks for coming here for Q&A. My first question is, will any revenue be available for companies that build on top of this platform? Normal banks make money on interchange on bank cards and interest spread (as well as

Edwin - 5 stars on being a real human! I just shot you an email. Also, I love your job title. Did Stripe issue that title to you? Or did you get to make up the title? Either way, it gave me a chuckle.

The main reason is that I'd have to program another integration post-haste, and I don't want sloppy code out in the world because I was rushed. I have an existing relationship with Worldpay Integrated Payments by FIS, and so I&#x2

For my personal selling, I wouldn't trust the API's:-). However, I have a product that helps a particular retail vertical list their items for sale online. I imagine my clients wouldn't mind having their items automatically c

Sign up for Privacy.com seems to be only in the app or with the extension, but after you sign up, you can sign in just in the browser and view your virtual cards. (I hope this comment will soon be outdated - a fix for that would be nice.)
