My team leverages feature flagging heavily. Developers want to clean them up but product doesn't prioritize the tickets, and it creates more burden for QA as well having to do a full regression test.

Perhaps we should consider why we allow the U.S. to have SWAT teams that respond in such a manner?

Kind of crazy how all these articles come out about what it's like working at Stripe and how to apply. Everyone I've talked to who has applied has not received a response from their application.

Even in my most recent experience I wrote a cover letter, reached out to multiple Stripe recruiters. Most of them either ignored me, or said that they were not working on that role and said my status is still "pending".

I imagine that Stripe's recruiting team is overwhelmed but it was unfortunate that they weren't able to get back to me. I ended up accepting an engineering manager position over payments at another company.

> do you plan to have a simple password instead of email link?

security gave the A-okay to give users an option to be able to stay signed in for 30 days. soon you will be able to check a box to stay signed in.

> are there any brave banners i can use to promote brave?

> will u provide a command line tool to verify websites?

not in the foreseeable future. we have had some discussions allowing keybase as a trusted connection and mark any properties they have verified as verified in brave as well. we might have more news on that front in the future.

> why are referrals tied to channels instead of account?

very good question, this is a symptom of tech debt. we're hoping to move it over to the account very soon

> will you expand to micropayments?

we're discussing more ways to spend your BAT and that's all I'll say about that :)

> will brave always block ads everywhere or will you switch to blocking only on verified sites?

brave will block 3rd party ads, in the future we will be introducing publisher ads which will allow websites to define sections of their site to for Brave to insert local privacy-preserving advertisements. the publishers get 70% of the revenue and users receive 30%.

You can sell BAT via any crypto exchange or website. Coinbase, Uphold, Binance, etc. You can even choose to have BAT automatically convert to USD, Euro, etc.

Brave does follow this patreon style model. There's a section in the Brave Rewards panel that mentions "Auto-contribute" which does what your describing.

You can also easily enable and disable Brave Ads while still contributing (though you'd need to fund your browser wallet)

Pretty sure the Brave Browser can do this if you change a couple of settings :)

I think Brave's business model of blocking all these harmful ads that track you is awesome. Users can then opt-in to get paid to view notification-based privacy preserving ads. Websites and publishers can make up for the loss of revenue from these ads through creators.brave.com

That's why I use Brave Browser, it blocks everything by default. Doesn't even download them.

The problem with signing transactions is basically then you can identify the browser history of the user. The BAT-ledger explains the principles of the transaction system

The current process is the data is anonymized and then sent out for privacy reasons.

Brave is completely open source and the ads are opt-in.

You're right the business model is advertising, very similar to Google. However the key difference is that they're trying to enable ads in a way that is privacy focused. They don't let websites track you. The whole point is that there are client-side algorithms that decide what advertisements to serve you.

Since it's going to be using chromium as a base then theoretically you could install whatever extensions you want to it right now, but that's still in beta

Health care is by nature very complicated and any attempt at standardization is going to be sophisticated. Just look at how many ICD-10 codes there are.

HL7 is complicated but I see a lot of work being done to conform with the FHIR standards. FHIR has only been around since 2014 and release 3 was only completed last year. I do have hope for standards to take precedence in the EHR realm but it will take time. Most EHR software was created in the late 80's and there's a lot of legacy code, client customization, and regulations to go through in order to release this code. Healthcare doesn't leverage itself to an agile "move fast and break things" ideology.

In addition the Commonwell alliance was supposed to help alleviate these problems, but the fact that Epic didn't join really ruined things there.

I’m a big proponent of bicycling, not only because of it’s health benefits but also because of city-design. Recently there was a poll taken place in my city which proposed reducing lanes to add more sidewalk and bike lanes to a few streets for the added commute time of around 1-2 minutes. As both a driver and a cyclist this is an acceptable trade off. Especially since the proposed streets had previously seen a lot of vehicle-pedestrian accidents.

I think an important part of having a more bikable city is that it leads to a more livable city. My bike ride to work takes me through the south-east part of town which was previously segregated. These areas aren’t well-suited to biking, but should be. If you are poor and your car breaks down you still have to have a way to get to work. A car is a hell of a lot more expensive then a bike or a bus.
