The intent is that it was customer money. There is a fiduciary duty. They have separate custodial accounts for customer funds. They did not separate funds. It was clear as day.
I have the exact same experience.
We used Braintree and during the time they were bought out by PayPal and all th terrible PayPal support was integrated. We could never reach a live person at Braintree again and ended up switching processors.

It's scary to think a processor can't answer a phone call but hold your entire business' money in their hands.

I run $1,000's if not $10,000's a day in FB ads. I can confirm we've all known this for quite a long time.

Our general rule is if the product doesn't have broad appeal, you don't run it on FB.

My running theory on all ad networks is pretty simple. There are a very small subset of users, 25%-30%, of people who are regular purchasers and these companies know that based on conversion data. They generally just throw your ad in front of these people and let it ride.

It should be. I was at a talk where they said Envoy was and I believe that Istio is coming soon. From what I remember, Envoy is what you need to plugin to bridge your infrastructure.

Right? I feel like this article was just another way to get publicity and social traffic to his domain. Anyone worth their salt would know he's probably stuck in the "Google Sandbox" https://ahrefs.com/blog/google-sandbox/
I started doing this and began feeling a lot less stressed. It's helped a lot with my general well-being.

Don't make too much sense or they'll make a law against it
Re:Ask HN: How do you manage your SSH keys? on Saturday March 12, 2016 @11:29PM (#11276209)
Keep it simple. I use ssh-agent .. just ~/.ssh/ - keep keys here. Backup the actual private keys and stick those on a drive you keep in a safe. Make sure your machine's HD is encrypted and you should be fine.
I think that like anything, it's exploitable. Just see the example of bitcoin where a mining pool had over 50% of the computing power. If the internet was driven by a block chain, with enough money and time, you could "control it".

In theory LXC could do this. It needs to be tested more and clearly has security issues right now.

Did anyone else notice a user named Gopher? Go at Facebook?

Re:Is your system organized? on Tuesday June 17, 2014 @04:45AM (#7903390)
I actually like this, great tip.

Is your system organized?

Is your system organized? Do you have all of your folders organized and clean or do you have junk all over and you just know where it is?
