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…

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 l…

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…

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 V…

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 reque…

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 …

I could see this being valuable for sales people

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…

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 softwa…

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 thi…

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…

I'm not sure that LAHSAs homeless count is a good source of data. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-24/doubts-r...

Why not try to do both?

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 dy…

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 …

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 plent…

Would be great if it worked with their JavaScript SDK.

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 tran…

Discovered him a few years ago, incredibly funny. If you want to escape the worries of modern times, highly recommend.

If your goal is complete eradication?
