Yeah, Mercury's going to have to up their game if they want to stay relevant. I remember my disappointment when I found out I had to park 250k in a 0-yield checking account to qual…

I wouldn't be so sure, there was the rather plausible speculation that the 3% from Robinhood was a loss leader that wasn't meant to last long, in order to drum up hype for the laun…

From the first sentence under the "What are securities" section: > SIPC protects stocks, bonds, Treasury securities, certificates of deposit, mutual funds, money market mutual fund…

Surely I can't be the only one irked by the fact that they're bringing the concept of "copies" and "borrowing" to what are just bytes sitting on hard drives that can be copied and …

IANAL, but according to this: https://www.sipc.org/for-investors/what-sipc-protects > SIPC protects against the loss of cash and securities – such as stocks and bonds – held by a c…

From the deafening silence I'm going to take the less charitable interpretation that it's meant to enable Cloudflare to essentially sell Warp users' IPs to Cloudflare customers as …

I wished on more than 1 occasion that I could just use one of my ZeroTier nodes in other locations as an exit node and tunnel traffic through it though. I think that might already …

Wow... this is actually quite tempting for $595! Are there any limits to how much you can make use of this offer or the kinds of spaces available? _Surely_ they won't let you just …

They have an app now, works much better than the text receipt feature in my experience so far: https://brex.com/mobile/

Brex also has a Ecommerce card that's based on projected monthly sales: https://brex.com/ecommerce/ That might be more directly comparable to the Stripe card.

Most successful companies do both. Listening to your users is of course important, but it can't be a wholesale replacement for data driven aggregate behavior analysis because peopl…

> forgetting the kind of person who is techie enough to use RSS feeds is probably techie enough to turn off telemetry More like they have no choice but to ignore them because these…

That explains why everybody puts up with it. It doesn't explain why a startup like Mercury can't come along and shake up the status quo by not nickle and diming their customers lik…

Interested in learning more. Could you provide some sources on why Qualcomm Atheros is "Tier 1"?

I'm curious what the article is referring to when it comes to collision resistance. I was looking at the GitHub repo posted below and saw only claims of "strong" collision resistan…

I use Google Voice extensively too. The problem I often run into is a bunch of services (like Uber, and one of my credit card companies Synchrony Bank) don't accept Google Voice nu…

I can absolutely imagine why existing tech companies would be interested if the protocol became so popular that they'd be stupid to ignore it and start from scratch with their own …

Being somewhat of a functional programming zealot (coming from the Clojure camp, so please excuse me if these are stupid questions, considering my lack of familiarity with typed fu…

Thank you for providing your side of the story. While I can no longer edit my post to point to this, I have upvoted this post to hopefully bring some visibility to it, and encourag…

To quote one of the follow up comments from the author: > If you go to matrix.org and look at the list of about a dozen or so servers: you will find that none of them actually work…

I had a pretty positive view of Matrix until I came across this post and the follow up responses from the developer behind an unofficial Matrix server implementation: https://news.…

I'm a huge fan of the WebTorrent protocol too, and think it has potential to completely transform the content distribution paradigm on the web. However, the JS implementation leave…
