Re:Why We Switched From Stripe To Balanced on Saturday March 02, 2013 @02:19AM (#5308828)

Well Balanced also offers a service that some claim is illegal: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5299327

And has yet to offer a response other than "thanks!"

I'm also not sure how many customers Balanced has or what kind of volume they're doing, but I suspect that they're taking o a whole lot of risk with next day payouts that Stripe and Braintree refuse to take on. While some businesses may like this, I find it worrisome.

Are you saying this service is illegal without the money transmission license?

She's not saying that the idea is wrong in and of itself, but that we should all be focusing on ideas that go beyond sharing photos - solving hard problems.

Re:A Week With Uber And This Blogger Is Totally Hooked on Thursday March 03, 2011 @01:46AM (#2283128)

How many people are willing to pay twice the price of regular cabs - it's not really something I'm interested in splurging for unless it's extremely inconvenient to get a cab where I am.
