It’s called Stripe Billing, not Stripe MDR. What a pointless exercise but I guess someone wi have some takeaways from this, not sure which one though.

Re: Why doesn't Stripe use Stripe Billing?
#13I work at an HR/Payroll company with a phenomenal app that we put our blood, sweat, and tears into every single day. And every single day I clock in with Oracle Time and Labor. There's a legal reason for this and we do it for compliance. I'm guessing Stripe is in the same boat with this product despite its flaws.
The company where I work disallows us from using our own product because it would be considered a conflict of interest. Some co-workers say it's a federal regulation, but I've never seen that anywhere in print, so I suspect it's just a workplace rumor/justification.
I've had customers complain to my face that we tailor the products to our needs, and are surprised (and sometimes vocally disbelieve) that we don't use it, ourselves.
In certain industries, dogfooding is considered bad, and sometimes illegal.

What's the legal reason?

#15Seems very understandable to me that your customers' profile doesn't necessarily meet your customers' customers profile.
If I sell a cash register app to indie businesses who sell trinkets at the art fair, that doesn't mean my solution meets my own needs for billing my millions of those business customers.

#16See how your site looks like on mobile with content blockers turned on. For me the navigation bar doesn’t collapse and covers the whole screen.
It loaded slow but apart from that it looks normal. I use firefox on android with ublock origin.

#17Evidence of a recursion limit in the simulation?
The only damning evidence we need is quantum physic gotchas + uncertainty principle + matter/wave dualism which happen because the simulator does not have enough precision, performance or memory to fully simulate the reality within it operates and needs to cut corners. But maybe this simulation IS reality and reality is simply limited in its precision, performance and storage.
To call the uncertainty principle a precision limitation on measurement is something of an oversimplification.
Passing from the general physicist's uncertainty principle to a more restricted but still physically meaningful case, the Fourier-transform version of the uncertainty principle (requires no physics to derive and) states that the narrower and less smooth a spatial representation of something is, the wider and slower-decaying its frequency representation becomes. (Sharp and abrupt sounds have wide spectra, which is why they get mangled into the strange but recognizable bubbling in low-bitrate MP3s. The two-dimensional case of the same phenomenon is well demonstrated by the JPEG "ringing" around sharp edges, with the caveat that JPEG transforms every 16x16 block of pixels independently.) Physics comes in here only when you say that position and momentum (amplitude) distributions are Fourier transforms of each other.
If a single sample or the average value is all you get, then yes, the width of the peak becomes the uncertainty of your measurement. If you can get many samples, though, then you absolutely can trace the shape of that peak. It's just that the instruments used at the dawn of quantum mechanics were not built that way.
(What "particle-wave dualism" means, I think nobody really understands except maybe Bohr scholars; "dualism" was his personal German-philosophy-style all-encompassing idea that he was smitten with before he even started thinking about QM. It's a wave, period, it's just that high-frequency waves can look like particle propagation if you squint, as seen in optics and acoustics.)

Yeah most of the time I hear conflict of interest I don’t believe it at this point. Conflict of whose interest? If you used your own product wouldn’t you learn some issues that exist within it?

Conflict of whose interests? You say the product is useful and other people should buy it, while you yourself use it seems pretty aligned.
It cannot possibly be the case that Microsoft runs on Open Office and MacBooks.

For a long, long time Microsoft was using Unix sendmail for its own internal mail system, while touting Outlook for its customers.
They only started eating their own dog food when people started making fun of them in public.
