Patrick Collison on the importance of beauty and craftsmanship when building products “If Stripe is a monstrously successful business, but what we make isn’t beautiful… I’ll be much less happy. The world’s just uglier than it needs to be.” Patrick believes that the impact of beauty and craftsmanship are higher than people think. And not just for aesthetic reasons — it’s rational for customers to buy beautiful products. “What does a beautiful thing tell you?” Patrick asks. “It tells you the person who made it really cared."

I don't understand how we're like 3 years away from AGI and vacationing on Mars but trying to copy/paste something from a doc into gmail is still pretty 50/50.

@purduehackers @paulg This is super cool CC @ben_ald @jackchammons @nworbrecneps @retttx

Thanks for the support, @paulg!

This is the worst feature Apple ever invented

@rofloos where dis?

@DavidSven What should I be doing for my spine?

Biggest health risks of 2020, ranked: 1) Lack of self-discipline 2) Sugar addiction 3) Spine health 4) Other disease

Forrester named @stripe the leader in their latest payment provider wave report. So proud of all of the people who helped make this happen.

@usmannk @everettpberry Strong plus one

@everettpberry This is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone say a good thing about Drive search

The difference between using Google Drive search and Spotlight in Mac is astounding. Apple will never catch up.

@ChrisMacSEA But I also vibe with the aesthetic.

@ChrisMacSEA I feel like this likely has too many miles to be a good decision.

This van calls to me. 👍👎?

Restaurants and theaters are here to stay, but it’s going to take a lot more than vaccines for most dense retail areas to recover. Foot traffic may never recover for half those businesses. Shift to online/mobile pickup is just better UX for most services.

@DavidSven This is by design. Consumer printers are loss leaders for ink sales. This problem lessens as you move up market into toner based / high end printers.

My printer just got a firmware update and no longer recognizes the type of ink cartridges that I have been using on it for years. I have a box full of those ink cartridges. It is 2020 and we still suck at printers.

My printer is out of yellow ink, but won't let me print even tough I am trying to print a shipping label in gray-scale. This is why printers are the worst.

Businesses launched on @Stripe since lockdowns began in March have -- somewhat incredibly -- already generated more than $1 billion in aggregate revenue. We're very glad to be able to play our part in helping them sell, adapt, and grow.

This is the first great crisis of the post-American world. The UN Security Council is nowhere to be seen, G20 is in the hands of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and the White House has trumpeted America First and Everyone Alone for years. Only the virus is globalized.

In case you weren't aware, Kenji López-Alt has been posting videos to YouTube every day or during the epidemic. Dropping sooo much cooking knowledge in these vids.

Let's improve our visual selection-fu. The built-in OSX screenshotter has several awesome adjustments features, so just press alt, space or shift and see what happens – or just watch this short educational video!😁 [#DevAdventCalendar day 4]

Holy cow. This is a big deal: no more brokers’ fee in New York. nytimes.com/2020/02/05/nyr…

@everettpberry This is a good fact

Dang Romney is the first senator EVER to vote to convict a president of his own party

1/ From 1997 to 2012, less cash was returned to investors than invested in VC. Given where we are in the cycle, revisit this venture study for a sobering read of what a bear market for the industry may look like. Not unlike hedge funds today I suppose. gigaom2.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/vc-ene…
