For those wondering, this was originally a salty comment by one of Plaid's founders calling out Stripe for being "so damn boring".

Plaid doesn't have publicly listed pricing at all. Might as well be infinite.

If a startup can use Stripe, who they're already integrating with, or integrate with a new provider with hidden pricing that requires them to contact a sales person, I wonder who they're going to choose. Good luck.

This is standard for all acquisitions.

- The acquiring company's share price drops because it often pays a premium for the target company, or incurs debt to finance the acquisition.

- The target company's short-term share price tends to rise because the shareholders only agree to the deal if the purchase price exceeds their company's current value.

So true. I assume it's because modern social media is monetized so much more, so the incentive is to encourage any and all engagement, including troll feeding.

Leaf blowers are the worst. Several cities in CA have banned them. I don't know why more haven't followed suit.

There's a myth that groundskeeping is more costly without them, but the city of LA reported that costs didn't significantly increase after banning them.[1]

> This essay was somewhat high on opinion, somewhat low on evidence

That's putting it mildly. It's littered with straw men and other logical fallacies.

He asserts, without any proof (because it's a faulty generalization that can't be proven), 'when someone calls a statement "x-ist," they're also implicitly saying that this is the end of the discussion'. He then wastes a bunch of time explaining the implications of his straw man.

Same. The sad reality is that what the article calls "silly, unpersuasive propaganda" still works on a ton of people.

How exactly would this business hours regulation work?

Why are we downvoting someone who is respectfully disagreeing?

You just shared a URL that says "Please do not share this URL publicly".

I agree. But that's not what the commenter said. They claimed that U.S. politicians are electing themselves via fraudulent votes. That's a conspiracy theory.

Can someone please downvote this nonsense conspiracy theory? Would rather not feed the troll beyond that.
