Stripe Checkout 12 years ago

I'm trying to understand why Stripe didn't send out an e-mail to all merchants before making this change. I, too, was blindsided.

To my knowledge, Apple has never replied officially to any post on their company fora. It appears as though it is intended for Apple customers to communicate with others in the "community" - probably why they use that term in their fora. That aside, I've never understood their post policing strategy. Obviously someone at Apple has moderation duties.

As a manager who has hired people before, I don't see how this could replace a traditional resume. Resumes allow for me to quickly evaluate a candidate. I really don't care what my potential candidate's social media history is or any other arbitrary information (badges are nice, but as a recruiter I wouldn't know the scale nor why I should care). I do think something better than a resume is worth looking into, but the execution has to be right.

What reason do you have to believe it's inaccurate? What would Facebook gain by posting juked numbers of government requests? Seems pretty honest to me. We'll see if they stay true to their promise to scale deeper and show what kinds of requests they receive.
