Likely Adyen considering the press release that came out a couple years ago. But I wouldn't be surprised if they were also using Braintree at some point.

I'm pretty sure this is what Blendle[0] is doing - pay per article. I've been using it for a year and ended up subscribing to a few of the publications.

Not OP but I don't think we'll bounce back as quickly due to the lack of urgency coming from the Federal government. I suspect we'll fall into a vicious cycle of business layoffs, corresponding dip in consumer spending, reduction in r&d/business investment as we are now and after cases taper off which now seems even further away than what it could've been had the CDC/FDA/WH been on top of this earlier. Some countries took the threat seriously and immediately took care of things.

UrbanStems | Mid-level Developer | Washington, DC | FULLTIME, ONSITE, https://urbanstems.com

UrbanStems, a same-day flower delivery e-commerce experience, is looking primarily for mid to senior level backend developers. We are vertically integrated with our own supply chain, fulfillment & delivery, and customized e-commerce platform optimized for a great customer experience. As you can imagine, technology plays an important part at every step of that process. We're looking for more engineers/developers to help build out features for our internal usage and for our customers' delight. You'd have a lot of say and room to experiment. Our API is primarily in NodeJS. Our front-end is a React/Redux application. We absolutely love PostgreSQL with PostGIS and Redis. Lambdas are becoming a new favorite for services. A full stack developer would be ideal but if you're more comfortable with the backend then that's totally okay (i.e. if you're focused on front end dev, this position isn't going to be interesting for you. But reach out to me in the fall).

We'll pay for relocation if you aren't in the DC area.

4+ years of experience

- Backend languages: NodeJS/Python/Ruby/<insert language here>

- Datastores: PostgreSQL (or SQL in-general), Redis, etc

- Building APIs (internal/external)

- General understanding of DevOps

(Awesome to have) 1+ years

- Front end JS (React/Backbone/Angular/etc)

- HTML/CSS knowledge

Email me with your resume and blurb about a project you love(d) working on and why. Chetan Shenoy - chetan@urbanstems.com

You could have chosen to have a productive and civil conversation about the immigration restrictions and how they're related to actions taken by President Obama. Instead you chose to make blanket accusations, inane assumptions about everyone here, and resorted to unnecessary name-calling. Why?

Interesting. Who is the reputed cannibal or was that said in jest?

But odd numbered releases don't get LTS. =/

...but i dont really think it has a large cultural impact. aside from trump this election cycle i feel most 'famous' tweets are about as significant as here come dat boi.

That's absurd. I've seen numerous articles in online entertainment media sites (e.g. People, US Mag, TMZ, Buzzfeed) that are solely made up of embedded tweets. CNN and MSNBC (and even Fox News) reference tweets all the time. Maybe Twitter as a company has failed to monetize the platform properly and shareholders have taken a loss but to downplay Twitter's cultural impact seems largely misguided.

Not trying to defend anyone here but I think you're making the wrong comparison. React (the library) isn't changing. Just like Elixir, JavaScript (the language) is changing for the better and almost everything is backward compatible. What folks are upset with here is react-router, an optional, third party routing library dependent on React. Authors should be allowed to improve their own projects otherwise they become stagnant as the libraries and languages they depend on evolve. It's why semver exists.

Why would you actively avoid every political discussion? The reality is politics affects many aspects of our lives especially with more and more legislation affecting the very technology we work with on a daily basis. Having a rational conversation and listening to other views can help move discussion forward and broaden awareness.

Here's the Reuters article where they state that:

After working on a few large JS applications (using Backbone or Angular or React), I decided to try out Ember for a relatively smaller application.

Ember feels very Rails-y (likely on purpose) and the documentation wasn't great. It took me a few hours to get a surface level understanding of how things worked with each other, especially Ember Data. I ultimately ended up dropping it because of my frustration. It was only a couple months ago (early December 2015).

Obviously I'm just one data point but I know I've talked to other devs who feel the same way. I'm sure Ember will only get better but I don't think it's the antidote at all.

UrbanStems (https://urbanstems.com) | Washington, DC or New York, NY | ONSITE preferred

Fast and beautiful flowers at affordable prices. We're growing and need a highly skilled JavaScript (Node) developer to come help us build stuff quicker. Our backend is almost fully powered by Node. The position requires someone who can adapt and thrive under pressure. Some of the backend is being moved to micro-services but we're not planning to go overboard with it. You'll be the third engineer (joining me and another person) and employee #15 so you'll have a huge impact on not only the tech but the company itself. We're passionate about making our customers happy and know that our tech plays a big part of that process. Come join us!

Most of the work requires backend knowledge:

* JavaScript (NodeJS) application development

* Postgres, Redis

* API development

* nginx/AWS/DevOps (some base knowledge, at the very least)

This is not a front-end position. Please email me at chetan@urbanstems.com. I definitely value seeing your past work over a standard resume but feel free to send it along.

Some condoms contain casein, a by-product of milk which by definition makes it non-vegan friendly.

The Apple commission is for in-app purchases that are mostly digital goods.

That is absolutely the solution. Don't bundle jQuery and other big libraries into your application code. It can drastically improve performance.

A book on your conversations with him could be a fascinating read. Just sayin...

They're charging $7.99 for one-hour delivery. That's about on-par with on-demand courier fees that I've seen in NYC. Presumably the two-hour free delivery will be phased out once they've reached some metric.

/r/AskHistorians is one of my favorites. Mods are insanely hawkish about the rules which slightly turned me off when I first subscribed. But after a few months it started to make sense and the quality of contributions is superbly high.

SEEKING WORK - Remote (All US but Eastern Seaboard if in-person is necessary)

I'm a full-stack JS and iOS developer. I work mostly with NodeJS on the backend and JS libraries (Backbone) on the front. Been doing web dev for 10 years and iOS for a little over a year now. I've worked on a couple iOS apps: one is in the App Store (search CapitolHop) while the other will be released soon. I dabble with designing as well.

I've done everything from e-commerce to simple games for clients.

Even if you just want to connect, I'm always up for chatting.

It's a metered paywall [1]. You'll still be able to read a few articles a month. IMHO, that's fairly flexible.

Just showed my Desi girlfriend your site and she says pictures with models are very important. Some women prefer to see those dresses actually worn by someone so they can understand it better.

I personally think there's a lot going on with the website. Almost like you're selling too many different clothes. If you can cutback somehow or focus on an area, that could be effective.

Also, you really need to highlight the FREE SHIPPING. That's a major seller for many people, even if others are offering it.
