Stripe now supports usage-based billing: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/pr...

https://rewilder.xyz does this, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's other similar projects out there.

Congrats folks! With that much data you'll be able to build a great financial health profile of your customers. Are you planning to offer loans?

Viva Chipax!

Thanks for sharing! Is it this one: [0]? I'm a weekend warrior climber, and Blood Orange beers are my favorite! And even better if it's for a noble cause.

I quit alcohol a year ago, but still enjoy non-alcoholic beer like Athletic Brewing's [0]. It's got great selection and taste, although lacks the alcohol kick of course (which I don't miss).

I now sleep and feel a lot better, my resting heart rate decreased substantially, among other benefits.

It's not easy to quit alcohol, especially from a social aspect. But good non-alcoholic beer makes it possible for me at least.

Although brief and US-specific, this books gives a good overview: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36055478-payments-system...

As a spoiler, most of these institutions communicate by exchanging text files over SFTP or similar.

As for Blockchain, I'd start with Satoshi's Bitcoin paper: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

Disclaimer: I work at Stripe.

Not sure what makes you evoke such a strong reply. If it's something I said, then I apologize.

Probably not the answer you expect, but the I18N team is hiring :) https://stripe.com/jobs/listing/internationalization-enginee...

Otherwise, if you're a trained linguist and have demonstrable consulting experience QA'ing technical documentation then we'll be happy to arrange something.

In either case, we appreciate your feedback, and my emails are open!

I work at Stripe, though not on the L10N/I18N or identity teams. It would be tremendously helpful if you could send me some feedback so that we can improve, jlh at stripe dot com.

I'm a native Spanish speaker too, and nothing in this announcement strikes me as unintelligible, but that might be my own biases at play given the familiarity with Stripe's lingo.

I hate to break it to you, but you're probably out of luck. This is why the common "not your keys, not your coins" phrase exists.

Drop me an email if you'd like to know more about Stripe @ LATAM! jlh at stripe dot com . Spanish / Portuguese friendly, too.

Which country are you (or your company) based on? Which countries are you selling to?

But not even the proposed example does a great job regarding entity salience.

Google, headquartered in Mountain View, unveiled the new Android phone at the Consumer Electronic Show. Sundar Pichai said in his keynote that users love their new Android phones.

Results in:

Google - Organization, salience: 0.27

Mountain View - Location, salience: 0.10

Sundar Pichai - Person, salience: 0.07

CES - Event, salience: 0.07

Android - Consumer Good: 0.07

So "Android" which is a central piece in the announcement ranks lower than "Mountain View", which is mostly irrelevant.

Anyone around using it in production? Thoughts?

And also from our experience, it seems that they're only allowing TLS 1.0 and up. https://github.com/alexreisner/geocoder/issues/1034

I hope they won't do that. I believe those approaches do a disservice to Android in general.

For instance, it really annoys me when Android Studio pushes you to add app indexing stuff, which in turn needs Play Services to work. Play Services unnecessarily bloats my APKs, so I go great lengths to avoid it.

I prefer a more agnostic Android Studio (and Android in general) rather than gravitating towards Google sponsored add-ons.

Although the testimonies sound great, the landing page gives me mixed feelings about the book. Perhaps too much salesmanship. Could you tell us a bit more?

Peopleware has great insights for both managers and programmers. Recommended read for both.

Any idea on why does this happen so often? DDoS? Crucial changes that go south? Scalability issues?

Couldn't this be achieved with imagemagick's builtin blur + histogram?

Why the downvotes? I'm curious on how I could improve.

Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. Really enjoying it. Interesting how certain times can shape the perspective of the roles of society, companies and government.

Before that I read the entire Game of Thrones series. Not really worth the time invested if you ask me, but it was fun nonetheless. Might be one of those few books where watching their TV version is more enjoyable (disclosure: haven't watched the series).

On the technical side, I'm trying to read Google's papers once in a while. Good mixture of theoretical background with practical approaches.

Are there plans for Go bindings anytime soon?

Next step: JavaScript API?

Looks good! No results on the third SQL challenge?

    SELECT employees.*, departments.dept_name FROM employees
    JOIN dept_manager ON dept_manager.emp_no = employees.emp_no
    JOIN departments ON departments.dept_no = dept_manager.dept_no

Exactly

Why use Rails as a frontend? One of the reasons I'm using Go for service decoupling is to get rid of Rails long startup times. I just route the requests using Nginx and skip Rails altogether.

Ghost (https://ghost.org) is built with Node

Cool project! I guess that with the Pi2 you could do some basic image processing to detect changes and then decide which footage is interesting.
