This rule of thumb, when used correctly, is supposed to refer to womens' dress straight sizes. As in, for an average height woman, losing 10 lbs is roughly equivalent to going from…

These are really good changes for your overall health, but what I hear anecdotally is that a lot of the young adults diagnosed with colon cancer don't have traditional colon cancer…

Yes, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Cloudflare, among others.

I think what you're missing is that prior to the acquisition, Anthropic was a customer of Stainless. They did not need to "rummage through [their] data and workflows" to understand…

The front page of Hacker News was not exactly the place where I was expecting to discover that you were changing jobs, but congrats, Tim!

You totally could, but the purpose of the OpenAI/Plaid integration is to help you analyze your spending and finances with OpenAI (using it as a budgeting/financial planning app), s…

This is a common belief, but the CFPB has stated your bank is still legally required to make you whole in the event of fraud even if you handed over your username and password to a…

We just this week launched a new sign-up flow to make it waaaay easier for non-businesses to use Plaid, I posted some details below. Actually, as part of publicizing our new hobbyi…

So you don't have to be a business to use Plaid, but you do have to be a business to buy Plaid via the Sales channel rather than via the self-serve channel. Admittedly, when folks …

Plaid has a pay-as-you-go option that's only about $2/month for this use case. (I believe the current rack rate PAYG pricing is 30 cents per month per connected bank login).

Thanks for the details! Glad to hear you've got full Production access -- if any of the security attestation requirements seem unreasonable for your use case, feel free to reach ou…

Plaid does support personal use (including personal use access for Chase). I'd actually be interested in seeing where you saw that it doesn't support Chase for personal access so I…

Plaid does have products that do request bank credentials, but those products are not used for age verification. It's very common that a given customer-facing flow will use multipl…

I work at Plaid. Plaid's KYC product doesn't ask for bank login credentials. (EDIT: I originally had a line in here saying "nor do any of our competitors' KYC products, that I know…

My heuristic is that if your interlocutor asks follow-up questions like that with no indication of why (like “why do you want to do X?” rather than “why do you want to do X? If the…

I work at Plaid, so this got me curious about who their provider was -- per Wikipedia, Mint used Intuit's internal account aggregation tools from ~2010-2024. It's possible that Min…

From the article, it's not clear that the prevailing reasonable meaning was Connected Parties. In fact, it sounds like the author thought the meaning was connected parties -- other…

These were popular at my workplace maybe seven years ago, and while I was into the idea at first, IMO it was impractical most of the time. Turns out it's a pretty unreasonable burd…

The context isn't fully spelled out, but Powell is describing the inspiration for "The Interrogative Mood: A Novel?" Those lines are the beginning of his novel and the novel itself…

I can't speak to the Plaid/Square integration specifically and why transaction history is requested in that case, but in general, a common reason Plaid would want transaction histo…

It's not. But an article explaining the real reasons why your resume was immediately thrown out (you have none of the required qualifications; you live in Australia and the job is …

I work at Plaid. The basic, non-discounted rate for the Transactions API is like 30 cents per connected account per month (or 45 cents per month if you're buying some optional add-…

I work at Plaid and I think that pricing info is a bit off — assuming we’re talking about just the APIs for transactions data (which is what the budgeting apps typically use) and t…
