In a world where Stripe is used in very few countries - Braintree seemed like a great alternative(It was just about the time it was being bought by PayPal).

Six months into our "cooperation" they sent an email breaking the contract with us(e-commerce retailer) because their "bank" was protesting too many of our sales..

The truth of the matter is that Braintree was literally accepting all credit card transactions and had almost 0 fraud protection(for example we had orders being shipped to a Greek city, ordered by Iraqi-named citizens using US based credit cards..they all went through fine).

So they just breached the cooperation and they kept a large chunk of the owed money for like 4 months until their "bank" verified some thing or the other.

In my personal experience you cannot rely on Braintree to block fraudulent transactions for you - you have to do it yourself and pray that still you don't miss on too many frauds passing through to Braintree. Makes you wonder what use all these "credit card gateways" have if you still have to bear all the cost of doing the fraud-prevention yourself..

Imagine if most popular comment threads were actually actively manipulated by the CIA - sophisticated social engineering applied here too. Most popular thread here is: CIA is pathetic they just use silly tech

(I miss John C. Dvorak)

I wonder how many CIA agents pose as innocent HackerNews commenters?

If this world is corrupted then spies are among us here too

I live in Europe and I can certainly see how this seems like a mess and how can a company obey the laws in one country and at the same time being illegal...

I just want to point out something that is often neglected. EU Commission is basically a referee entity. It all starts with someone making a formal complaint about Apple or Google or Amazon and then they check into it. And in MOST cases the complainers are other US companies that feel that their complaints are being neglected in their own country(ex Yelp)

Node.js solves the problem of "live webpages" w/ Websockets and Polling and chat apps and notifications etcetc.

And that counts. A lot.

I mainly disagree w/ the points he makes, but the "vampiric" screenshot of the sidebar is very hard to neglect. There is something magical that goes away when you take away all the color and replace all the icons w/ glyphs. Especially on places like the sidebar where you interact w/ it too often and 99% of the time you are scanning/looking for stuff.

So Steve Wozniak has to talk to the Average Joe supporter of Trump and address his fears about jobs/healthcare/housing???

In a world of super competitiveness and your-death-id-my-life it is quite rare (and refreshing) to see so many people unite behind a common fear.

I think we should all pay attention to what they say..

Still not good enough. For example the popover/tooltip that pops up on hover is fixed right below the target. If for example the viewport/window is smaller than the available space it will "bleed" out of view. You still need javascript to place it properly, and javascript that manipulates :after and :before pseudo elements is not straightforward.. Just saying :)

I loved VB.NET especially LINQ :) The syntax kind of made more sense than C# for me

This has to be the best kind of user complaint. I amreallycurious if anybody from Google actually answers and I am dying to see how they explain this kind of "flaw" to their loyal user

I have to say a few years back I really really digged this idea of a "classless society"(lol) and 1. the existence of pseudo helpers like ::before ::after and 2. when used in a project that has no user-html like comments or descriptions made it look like a solid idea too.

It turned out a very opinionated and inflexible framework that could not evolve.

So although this seems like a great idea I have experienced high complexity and inflexibility in evolving a project – these are worse than the typical class mess that comes with the other approach.

I would love it tho if we could decide on a better basic HTML layout for apps using just the basic blocks of html just like we have with documents. now the help section of a website becomes more fun to develop because of the native support of html for text formatting.

Just sat on my PC and patted my Chrome window with my cursor for all the bad things it heard on this thread!!

+1 for exposing the fake writer profiles. Very amusing!

The new testament was written in Greek, not in Hebrew. And yes, back then, the word virgin could actually have allegoric meaning(young/innocent/beautiful/... girl). Imagine if she was actually the first ever mammal to asexually reproduce..

lol. Assuming Google did this is illegal and unethical in every way since Google does no evil.

90% market share + hiding competitor sites to eg Google Places is punishable by EXISTING EU law.

LINQ

In love w/ Ember. i kind of liked habdlebars tho..

1. Going public on this shows lack of common sense, since the guy there said that contract had 0 refunds in it...

2. Expecting to pay $25k and pressing a button and then making $2k per month for eternity is NOT wise.

So why on earth can't we find the Tomb of Alexander The Great yet?

We have gone to the moon. And we have lost a totally popular monument... This just proves how fucked up the Middle East really is...

How did Italians take Greece? This was a great moment for the West because Mussolini invaded Greece from the North and he was repelled. The first moment where the Axis forces showed weakness-it showed that Hitler's forces where just humans and that resistance is possible-organized well it could mean victory.

Point about IMAP is right on. All else is utter nonsense. Author mistakenly assumes that user experience plus features carries on to IMAP which is..wrong.

Still in no-www camp!

sure

The truth is the Sparrow team is a Mac only team. They didn't care much for Windows. If at all. To test the Windows builds, Din Viet used a virtual machine running inside OS X..

Some parts already are Open Sourced. Mainly helper libs tho ( https://github.com/everydaypanos/Peacock ).

No code was reused. Just Jean-Marc's artwork. Plan was to port LibEtPan in Windows and replace current email engine during Beta, but.. you know.. dead.

:)

Shh.. Sparrow for Windows was just a few weeks away. http://tmblr.co/ZWzfbyPpHG3B http://t.co/OBeYi3Zp
