Everyone worried about privacy - not sure if they realize everyone is already collecting this type of information anyway?
I think this is cool and probably the future of B2B websites. My holdup would be, if the buyer enters their company and the copy just changes into what we think they want, are they going to lose trust that the copy is a true representation of our focus? Maybe it's a framing problem, lots of websites have "solutions" sections for different industries. Potentially could be cool to have a "how we can specifically help {your company}" with an exact use case outline.
Think this will make it easier for them to invest in strategically important technologies (like AI) in adversarial countries (China) without getting pushback like they have been
This is so true. When I was a kid I could have gotten my parents to pay $5 / mo for me to explore my creativity. $200 not so much. I think this pricing is actually a really good thing for consumers.
Using git on the command line can be hard to learn and unintuitive for people - the desktop client makes things easier and that's a good thing (kind of like how the GUI made computers accessible to more people and ended up benefiting everyone in software...)
This type of thing is great for people who hire or run companies - the more other organizations focus on meaningless things the more great people are available if you can find them!
Maybe the software engineers are worried they're being made redundant, but it is super fair for them to not allow their own work to make them redundant without permission
Vercel has been awesome for us - they've solved all these little pain points that really add up. Definitely a great starter service like what Heroku was. Also free for individuals.
Totally support this and am rooting for alternative ad networks - especially ones like this. However I think it's fair to acknowledge that without tracking it's inevitable that you'll have less value to provide to advertisers. We can't have our cake and eat it too.
It's pretty crazy how much of these edits are low quality, false, or just vandalism. Very impressive how the organization has been able to maintain such high quality information despite the general public.
Customers shouldn't have to bother random employees to get support on critical issues. In general I think Stripe does a pretty good job with support compared to other big tech firms - the inability to reach humans is problem endemic throughout the industry.
It's a shame because a good customer support interaction can create a serious evangelist (hard to quantify but extremely valuable). Maybe Stripe knows this because they put a lot of effort into appeasing the HN community (many developers/entrepreneurs who make processor purchasing decisions). I wish they'd apply this attitude to all their customers.
