I would assume a SQL database would be at least a tad easier to do accounting like tasks?

You can actually sue them if they do call you after you tell them not to for $1200 per violation. Is also illegal for them to call mobile phones. This technology actually cropped up because collection agencies are getting backlash from using robo dialers. I'd argue collection agencies are much more regulated than telemarketers. Google the FDCPA law.

It's against the law for collection agencies to call you if you tell them not to.
Re:Is Model-View-Controller dead on the front end?

Hmm, often times the models are not reusable because they end up doing too much. Tryg actually started to create something called ACI because of this.

On the contrary, I find that people stuff too much on the model because of rails. I've found that I much prefer very simple models to describe very fine grained parts of the data and use the controller for much of the tying of things together. You kinda of treat models as 'data components' if you will, mixing and matching them where needed in the view

Whatever your issue was, it most likely has to do with our query planning or lack of indexes. I've used sqlite with success on many gigabyte datasets.

Couldn't you just write the file out in a CSV format sqlite supports?

This may be a bit off topic but I've found sqlite to be quite a powerful csv parser. Once posted you can manipulate the data in lots of ways. When you're working with reports that need to get back into some sort of table format, it's very intuitive and easy for SQL people.

As a React user, I'd be really curious to see what these benchmarks look like when you're dealing with larger, more complex projects. I was under the impression that React scales well when dealing with lots of nested components and diffing the updates for each.
Re:1Password – Standalone licenses vs. new subscription service

Woops! I actually meant to post super gen pass but at least the website I referenced points directly to super gen pass so it wouldn't be too hard to figure out I would hope!

Actually this doesn't fulfill your sharing passwords requirement. It's still something I recommend you check out though at the very least for your personal passwords

I use this everywhere and I've been slowly migrating all of my passwords off of 1password:
http://genpass.supergenpass.com
Bookmarlet and mobile app and I don't need to store any passwords anymore. I also save passwords in the browser to save time after they're generated.

I think page.js supports middleware if you're looking for something to emulate. Basically chainring callbacks.

No they're not lying that their partners do not want them to touch high risk merchant accounts. At the end of the day, stripe answers to a sponsoring bank, which is highly regulated and are usually very rush averse.

In the overall scheme of payments, $5b is small. You need big volume to make money as a payment processor.
Re:Why some businesses aren't allowed on Stripe
on Friday August 12, 2016 @10:53PM (#12280022)
It's because of the higher than normal charge backs that stripe's sponsoring bank doesn't want on their books. There is also some reputational risk I'd imagine and plenty of shady actors trying to get underwritten

They're not the gatekeepers. It's their sponsoring bank.

If your credit is messed up, you will have other issues to contend with besides erroneous addresses.
Side note: if you did have an outstanding debt, a collection agency might serve the wrong person. This could trigger a law suit... Or some sort grief for some undeserving person. :(
