"This bus is being held at this stop for a short while to even out gaps in the service". - Welcome to London.

Honestly, PHPStorm and the Symfony plugin. I practically feel like I'm cheating my clients with how easy it's now.

Great article and not behind a paywall, I'm impressed.

Well Trump obliterated any chance of a decent lira value for the next years with his tweets and sanctions.

Turkey?

If you still think that Windows is their core product you should fast-forward to 2018.

Did you read the article? It's Singapore, not Bali where he was quoted that price.

So a donation site with practically no AML/KYC/CTF procedures got shut down by their regulation-bound payment processor?

Exactly.

What's up with that last sentence? So someone couldn't handle dealing with 1M USD and somehow the company that gave it owes them anything? They even had the option for annuity?

How is this new. Have the authors ever been in a British (gastro)pub? Order at the bar mate. Also, no silly tipping rules.

Some of the highlights from last year:

- Applied for a specific payment provider which required some additional checks and setup. Was confirmed that everything was up and running and approved. All good in sandbox but nothing was working on production. After back and forth emailing and twitter (and a lot of besides the question/issue replies) turns out they actually did had a production setup issue for this provider and it would take another 72 hours after we were "confirmed for production usage" to actually start taking payments using that provider

- Discovered inconsistencies in documentation and expected API response results about a year ago. A lot of back and forth emailing and twitter again. Generic reply about test cards and link to docs. After insisting to have another look it was confirmed there was an issue in the sandbox

I've moved all our EU payments away from Stripe and to Mollie which seems to have a better offering for European payment schemes.

Radar is a big plus for fraud prevention (and something Stripe does very well!) but isn't that mostly based on the Israeli startup they acquired?

I've always admired Stripe but the way their support has gone down is baffling. They always had the "developer first" approach but I can get better support from my legacy bank in terms of payment gateways now than from Stripe.

That's not correct. You are talking about fiat ramps (to get "old" money in or out). If you mine or stake and get awarded and just use it within the ecosystem there's no need for "id verification". So saying "You cannot do anything with cryptocurrency without verifying your ID" is an overgeneralisation of "You cannot exchange other fiat money for cryptocurrency or visa versa without verifying your id".

So many breweries!

Great effort, good examples and a lot of info but it's not really a cheat sheet is it?

I think that's part of the joke. Seems to be broken in general.

*no US passenger airplane. Still cargo 747s in operation.

So you've watched Manhunt: Unabom I presume ;)

"But, given what we know today and the data available to us, it could also be worth half. "

And it would still be up 900% from last year. This falls in the same category as the other article "CRYPTO COIN WEAKENS" after Bitcoin dropped 0.5%.

It might be a bubble, but you're still writing about it.

The picture they have selected wants to make me shut my laptop and just give up.

The pilot from this article also wrote a great book called "Skyfaring". A must read for aviation fans. Even though it's more lyrical and less technical I still enjoyed it a lot.

Is this an article or random ramblings?

Upwork is an absolute piece of shit company and so obviously trying to protect their revenue in the race to the bottom of freelance work. We only used them as an agency (to hire freelancers) and they would randomly shut off ongoing contracts, stall refunds for paid but undelivered milestones after shutting down our contract, didn't pay back fees and have horrible customer support. The only thing they do is send a 10 paragraph email explaining that they're not responsible for the contractors on their platform and we should have read the TOS better. Stay away. Absolutely horrible.

I'm still not convinced by online code editors but this looks promising, you do raise valid points of improvement though.

"Everybody in London uses Citymapper and nobody uses Google Maps."

Well I live in London and actually prefer Google Maps directions over CityMapper which I think is slow to start and a bit slow in fetching and updating alternative routes.

I do like the "preferred tube car" to use based on your entry / exit tube station but after a while you don't need the actual app for this as they don't change.

Is there a non paywall version of this article available?
