Yeah, I do something similar which I call "save yourself poor". Artificially live paycheck to paycheck but this is because I immediately deduct investments, savings, tax portion (my country / visa status just makes you pay at the end of the tax year without employee income witholding) and then have to get through the month on what's left. I know it's a privileged position to be in but it works and never makes me forget that nothing is guaranteed.

The fact the CEO goes on the defensive means he’s triggered by something which has a basis in reality. On the other hand I also get some of the points he makes. It’s my believe a lot of us are just decent normal people who don’t need the constant company employee wokeness and just want to build things, have a nice working environment (preferably at home) and then spend time on their hobbies and with their families. If there is injustice it’s good that it’s addressed but like many things sometimes the search for injustice and the need to make this about themselves is more a narcissistic trait rather than a genuine problem they want to solve.

Minority in the mathematical sense, not in the way most US based people think when they see the word minority.

Have yet to read the hit piece but some of the symptoms of a minority that just wants to be outraged for the sake of it dragging sentiment down whilst the rest just wants to work is quite telling and not the first time it gets brought up.

Also he’s on point about the loudest people talking about being inclusive usually being the most oblivious.

Such a non article without any details and filler sentences. Nothing of substance here, turn around HN’ers.

By doing that indeed or critiquing YC-darling Stripe or any of their employees reading HN.

If I do a 1000 good things but fund logistics for 2 bank robberies I would still go to jail.

See the “Stablegains” posts from not even a week ago. Also a YC company.

Another YC backed fraud / theft whatever you want to call it. Quality really has gone down.

I feel GitHub issues is the new StackExchange in terms of solution quality for specific library or framework questions.

They weren't wrong.

maybe because a mile is longer than a kilometer...

No they don't. Typical bureaucratic examples:

Congrats on the launch, we're currently using https://stoplight.io/ which seems to be a bit more feature-complete but lacks the "assistant" bit I feel your team is focusing on more.

I paid for Bloomberg news thinking it would remove the ads, it didn't.

And this is a dig or a bad thing why?

What a sad excuse of a company Google has become.

I appreciate the reminder of the rules dang, but this literally blocks the article and people are unable to read the submissions. And the fact it gets upvotes means it’s a valid concern.

Did anyone find the close button on the most annoying popup ever? Had to leave the page.

What McAfee was to Crypto, pg is becoming that for startups, he should take a break from Twitter.

It's not the ride sharing company.

This is exactly what we’re doing but we unfortunately can’t do this in 48 hours.

Pomelo uses an Icelandic acquiring bank (actually the same as Stripe used to use) as it has its own payment license and E-money license (regulated by the FCA). This is not for Pomelo.

Thanks for linking this, will come in handy.

No, this is called merchant tokenisation (the token only works with that specific processor and that merchant) so you generally can't transfer over pre-auths unless you actually hold the auth code and card details yourself.

There are other options such as stopping payouts completely and holding 100% in reserve, not shutting down completely within 48 hours.

We have, and their support needs more time to answer our email or chat queries than they've given us notice. So I guess they do observe holiday support times, just not for their customers.

More than happy to do a post-mortem and to satisfy your valuable insights later.

Nope, we're in travel and hospitality (so people book early and stay later) and they don't want to bear the refund risk with Covid-19.

Again, I'm not forcing Stripe to do business with us (even though we never had issues in 4 years and processed millions through them). I just want them to give us a bit more time than 48 hours to switch to another processor in between Christmas and NY.
