Never thought I would agree, but recently started a new job in a fully remote company. I was super excited. I thought it would be a dream. Instead, I have found that it's basically impossible to stand out in the ways I have in the past

Sure, but that doesn't make it "ethical." It's still killed, and nothing wants to be killed.

Death !== killing, not matter how you want to justify it.

There is an ethical difference yes, but it’s still a net negative. We don’t need to kill in order to eat. We just choose to.

Hate to break it to you, but there is no such thing as ethically farmed meat. If it’s killed for your plate, it’s still bad karma.

Friends and family is 100x different. It’s impossible to explain unless you are a parent.

That's a ridiculous question. $10k says you don't have kids. I have 3. 15, 14, and 7. I'd give anything to have more of their precious moments saved so that I could reminisce and stroll through those periods once more.

How can an article about a re-design not actually show or compare the two designs?

Also take notice that there is a charge of $1 per invoice when you send more than 2,000 per year. That's crazy!

The only thing I see is that I'm given the starter plan, which means .04% surcharge after 1 million in sales.

Isn't it my job as a Stripe Customer to build that functionality into my own app so that I can manage it in the way that works best for my customers?

Stripe is supposed to be a back-end API, not a front-end API. I don't want them taking over my payflows and confusing users.

But fees will change right?

But I don't want invoices? Stripe needs to decide if they are a b2b API, or b2c checkout and invoicing product.

It seems to me that Stripe has gone from easy to cheer for underdog, to payment processor that wants to eat the world (ala Facebook). I love that they are constantly innovating, but every time they do, I have to refactor my product, and the

They should have just called it a Tweet Storm and let the crowd win. Instead, they tried to pioneer a new term and act as if it was in their heads all along. As for the topic itself, I do find "threads" interesting, but on the who

The sign up flow is confusing. I clicked the button, but was sent to AWS. Finally signed in there, and was taken to a support level sign-up flow. Went back to the original link whilst logged in, and kept getting redirected to AWS when I cli

I stopped going to meetups because they felt like glorified networking groups where I never really found any value, solid connections, or a reason to go back. I tried both speaking and attending.

Based on what I've read, and I'm fully willing to admit it's all hearsay, Steve, while having achieved great things, has a history of abusing his power and treating founders poorly. This does not feel like bad news.

Not everyone has the time or interest. I'd rather go out than cook a meal.

Based on the comments in this thread, it seems like there was some sort of instruction for all the students to come here and post about their experience, which has resulted in a complete non-discussion.

Negotiate a small up front bonus, 2-4 weeks of paid vacation in the immediate future, at a minimum, and then take the deal. Use the r&r to recharge, and the acquisition to bolster your track record. Start something new once you vest.
