Discover is widely accepted in South Korea thanks to a nationwide partnership with BC Card and Woori Card networks. That was kinda nice when I visited. I liked Discover. They were one of the few issuers that supported…
Helix uses a selection-first action model: you select the word/paragraph/whatever you want to perform an action on, then you change/delete/whatever on that selection. I think this is more intuitive than the "verb…
The commercial uses a ton of CGI, props, and camera tricks, so how can you be sure it was environmentally unfriendly?
For arrivals, SFO has signs that direct passengers to a designated rideshare pickup area, and the rideshare apps direct passengers to a designated stall. It would be possible to monitor how many cars are picking up…
Your second point is why the stores need to be opened up. Nintendo breaks compatibility almost every generation, so if you want to replay old games you already purchased on a previous console, you have to repurchase the…
The Sebo E3 is 1200 watts and has a 10 year warranty. Built like LEGO, every part is serviceable too. Miele and Lindhaus are also good.
Those in power decide what constitutes an acceptable agenda. What can go wrong there? You can already see from the books banned it's not being equally applied. It's the same "protect the children!" farce we've seen…
Braintree and Adyden do as well to my understanding. Payment processors are low-margin. It costs interchange fees and scheme fees to reverse a transaction, it’s not free. It’s unfortunate for the businesses that process…
Calculation is trivial if you are only operating in a single tax jurisdiction, maybe. Tax calculation software handles all the different tax rates for product categories your business sells, changes in…
This article is too long for the simple point it makes. “Don’t name your service fun cryptic names because it doesn’t scale well” could have been a paragraph on why it’s bad. I was hoping for a framework on naming…
Parent poster most likely works at Amazon. When the rate of purchases falls below a threshold, many engineers across the company get paged to find the issue. As you can imagine a news event would decrease activity on…
Git completely replaced Subversion so quickly because the benefits were apparent even at a small scale. Subversion was centralized and slow whereas Git branches were cheap and fast. It turns out the distributed model is…
I love using iCloud's Hide My Email feature to create a unique email for every signup form or random person you contact. You can also use a Custom Email Domain with iCloud so I can imagine this feature might be usable…
Is it unusual for a successful company like Stripe to take so long to go public? It seems like their house is in order, and they are profitable, but employees aren't liquid.
The automatic control lowers the window a few millimeters as the door opens to clear the trim. This design ensures a tight seal to eliminate wind noise. If you use the manual control, it won’t lower the window, which…
If your bank supports Oauth it won't share your credentials: >Stripe generally defaults the authentication flow to OAuth if available at the financial institution....OAuth is an open standard authorization protocol that…
https://stripe.com/docs/financial-connections/fundamentals#a... You log into your bank directly and then grant access to Stripe. I presume, behind the scenes, your bank gives Stripe a single application token (not your…
That's not how the service works. You don't give Stripe your banking credentials, you log into your bank directly: https://stripe.com/docs/financial-connections/fundamentals#a...
It wasn’t some IC interviewing for a job, it was a representative of Stripe and Plaid doing a product interview for a possible partnership.
They are not describing a job interview. They are describing a product interview between businesses for some sort of partnership.
This kind of comment throwing shade on your competitors does not reflect well on you or your companies. People want alternatives to Plaid. How do you know they are simply wrapping 3rd parties instead of building these…
Stripe has a huge existing Ruby codebase that powers a lot of the dashboard and more. But there’s also a push towards Java for new services. Notably, Stripe does not use Ruby on Rails: instead there’s a few homegrown…
Stripe does not use Rails. It uses Ruby for some backend services with its own custom ORM framework, logging etc.
Stripe never used Rails. It uses Ruby with in-house ODM libraries, logging frameworks, and more. And a lot of those features are being moved to Java services.
