Increasingly, the best part of using Stripe is the millions of other companies using Stripe. How we use the network improve the product has been a big focus this year. Here are some of the networked ships from Stripe Sessions this week: Fraud. Radar is trained on signals from across Stripe, which now just sees most internet users and most payments. If a bad actor signs up for your product, we've generally already seen their device fingerprint, their email, or their card behavior—on someone else's business. For one AI company, 80% of the bad actors Radar caught had sailed right through their prior anti-fraud provider. As Stripe grows, the better every business on Stripe is protected. Link started as a way to save your payment details and has grown into a network of more than 250 million consumers. Link now stores stablecoins, powers agent wallets, and drives a 5% conversion lift for returning customers. Whenever a user signs up with Link on one business, every other Stripe business benefits the next time that customer checks out. Money movement. It turns out that Stripe businesses pay each other 4.8 million times a day. So we built instant, free transfers between Stripe Treasury accounts. Intelligence. 1.6% of global GDP now runs through Stripe; over 70 trillion data points last year. We've historically used that data to power our own products (Radar, authorization optimization). But now we’re putting it directly in your hands with Stripe Signals. Send us a customer, a transaction, a business—on or off Stripe—and we return a real-time risk score and explanation. Here's everything we announced this morning: stripe.com/blog/everythin….









A candidate interviewing for L5 @ Google was asked to break down the design of Google Drive. Another candidate who was interviewing for the role of SDE-III @ Amazon, was asked another with a file upload system question. I’ve faced these too. System design rounds love “simple” file upload questions until you add one layer of complexity: – Add virus scanning? Whole new security headache. – Add multi-region storage? Now you’re fighting replication and consistency. – Add instant previews or image compression? Welcome to async pipelines and job queues.







🚨 🇺🇸 D-WAVE CLAIMS QUANTUM SUPREMACY—BUT NOT EVERYONE AGREES Quantum computing firm D-Wave says it has achieved "quantum supremacy" by solving a real-world problem faster than any classical supercomputer. D-Wave CEO Alan Baratz: "Our achievement shows, without question, that D-Wave’s annealing quantum computers are now capable of solving useful problems beyond the reach of the world’s most powerful supercomputers." Their system reportedly solved a magnetic materials simulation in minutes—something a traditional supercomputer would need nearly a million years to complete. Source: IFL


Solar is quickly becoming the cheapest source of electricity & will fundamentally change the energy system. This paper argues that solar will be cheapest source of electricity around world. Surprisingly this is INCL short- & long-term storage costs. nature.com/articles/s4146…





China's chokehold on wind turbine manufacturing threatens the national security of any country reliant on wind power. China controls EVERY single supply chain segment: 75% of gearbox manufacturing 65% of generator manufacturing 60% of blade manufacturing


BREAKING🚨: Google’s quantum chip solved in five minutes a problem that would take 10 septillion years. Physicists say it “proved” we live in a multiverse!
