These copper thieves are almost always hardcore drug addicts. The “inequality” explanation is incorrect. A failure to recognize that has grave consequences for everyone.

I just tried this site on my phone and it has an extremely ad invasive experience. Is this how the citizen app also gets its data?

I dealt with millions of dollars in chargebacks with Stripe. We sold tickets, they're easy to re-sell and our customers were tourists visiting shows from all over the world. Stripe Radar was not a good product. It would score large num

I have only been to Germany once, but my assessment was that we have a very different population here.

As someone who lives in central LA and has them circle my neighborhood frequently, actually shaking my house, I think this is awesome. These needs should be filled by drones. Way less noisy, dangerous and expensive.

You can get the seats into "baskets" (reserved) in minutes. In my experience they will not sell out for some time as they usually keep dropping back into inventory. "Sold Out" is a matter of opinion. There are usually lo

Having built a ticketing system that sold some Oasis level concerts there's a few misconceptions here: Selling an event out takes a long time to do frequently because tickets are VERY frequently not purchased--they're just reserve

Forking an IDE is not expensive if it's the core product of a company with a $900M ARR. I doubt MS has ever made $900M off of VS Code.

Huh, I got attacked from 170 countries last year (HTTP) and Cloudflare's autonomous detection (machine learning powered) rules did almost nothing. It was millions of the same requests over and over and the only thing that we could do t

Here's a recent statistic from San Francisco: "City officials said that 40% of the unhoused population surveyed in San Francisco came from another California city or even from out of state, increasing from 28% in 2019." Sourc

What do you believe was incorrect? I asked Chat GPT 3.5 and 4 this question verbatim, seems they both gave the correct answer: it is taxable income. 4 was very thorough. 3.5 not so much.

I think there are a lot more potential buyers of $38M companies than $380M companies, particularly if the burn rate is low. There are a lot of exits in this range in the B2B software space to private equity types of co's that are rolli

Very cool. Is there an easy way to easily toggle on/off various scenarios like "pay for private school for my children" to see how that affects wealth? I didn't see a way to do this without copying a whole plan. My finan

I have experienced the same. An absolutely ludicrous set of suspicious data points like that and Stripe scores it a zero or near zero. We process hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions. Have gotten zero help from Stripe on this sco

Does this allow you to use existing PDFs as "templates"? We do that a lot with PDFs. It allows end users to design in Adobe Acrobat and upload to our product. We can then inject dynamic data into placeholders at runtime. We do thi

Adding in a machine boundary does not guarantee loose coupling. If a dev does not have the skills to make a loosely coupled monolith, how they can they suddenly have the skills to make a collection of loosely coupled services running on mor

Not true at all. As a user of AWS and Azure, I can say that I prefer the latter and it is gaining rapid market share. As a CTO I see a lot of resumes every week and there are plenty of startups being built on .NET I was actually bearish on

You’re missing the main point of the judge’s decision, which is that this strategy doesn’t factor in the severe pain caused to people’s financial livelihoods.

Seems like a lot of friction introduced into the purchase process, and $1 is extremely expensive. Stripe's chargeback protection is likely to be significantly cheaper for many transactions and they are guaranteeing no chargebacks! htt

Testing has indeed "ramped up" in Los Angeles. Last time I checked there were 39 locations in Los Angeles where you could get a free test, no symptoms necessary. That count does not include going to your doctor or to a private lab

California at the state, county and city levels routinely flouts federal laws that they vehemently oppose. I think many of those decisions make sense and act as a catalyst for change. I also think Tesla's stance makes sense and is a ca

That count is actually way low for California according to the LA times (which does its own count). They have it at 49% in California. They’ve reported the state’s data has glaring omissions.

Most disputes have nothing to do with the quality of your product, they're because it's a card number has been stolen and being used illegally and the merchant has no way of knowing this. You're not just out the $15, if you&#
