That 30 cents - is what's often ignored but makes up a disproportionate amount of the fee.
On a $30 transaction, paying 30 cents is equivalent to a 1% fee.
So Stripe on a $30 transaction is effectively 3.9% in fees (on a $30 transaction).
Interchange (which goes to the issuer), would only be approx 1.75% (of the 3.9% fee charged by Stripe).
Yet the acquirers seem to be always absent from these lawsuits.
(and your experience will all depend upon the contractor)
I thought OpenBSD / OpenSSH operate without a tracker and it’s all email distro based.
From the article:
> Over the last few months Giacomo Cavalieri has entirely rewritten Gleam's Erlang code generator that has an entirely different design, and most notably, outputs a different format. Previously Gleam generated Erlang source code, now it generates Erlang abstract forms.
Where are these financials coming from?
Every GP is a slightly different car running bleeding edge tech and code.
Muse is:
- a single thread
- has avatars that you can name
- has approval cards
Now dots is similar in concept but that only launched a few days ago and Muse launched a month ago.
Many times, UI/UX makes all the difference in user adoption & use.
When the definition is that broad, aren’t you effectively already defining what SaaS is today.
Especially when you include interfaces in that definition.
because if someone feels physically well enough to go to Burning Man, then the probability of them dying in the next week is near zero in comparison to the national average (which includes individuals hospitalized, terminally ill, etc).
It’s having agents update websites, charts, etc for human consumption.
But isn’t the future the AI labs are (subtly) saying is that no human digital interfaces need to exist … and the interface is just the agent surface itself.
Because a lawyer selling a contract template, is in many ways, very similar in concept to tech industry selling a software license/seat.
They are both akin to “templates”, and selling IP.
It's not like you get the permit before you have even bought the land and designed the plans/architecture/engineering for the data center.
You have to do all of that first, and only once all of that is done, can you submit for a permit.
Which can take not just months, but maybe even a year (or more).
So the situation is, regulation changed during the planning phase. So what do you do now? You obviously can't deliver on a contract that would cause you to break new laws/regulations - that didn't exist when you started all of this.
In 2025, Texas state government announces a $40B infrastructure investment specifically calling out building data centers for AI as a key part of that package.

Then, just this week, Texas government reverse their position and halts permits for all data centers:

I'm not trying to defend Oracle, but I can understand their perspective on this.
If the state government is only now blocking what their contract commits them to deliver, it's unreasonable.
In this situation, governments are now enacting new regulation that ban companies like Oracle from building new data centers.
Force majeure is basically there for situations where something outside a company’s control prevents them from delivering on a contract.
I can see Oracle’s argument here. A number of states and local governments that were originally very supportive of new data centers, including places like Texas and Pennsylvania, have since started blocking or restricting new construction.
If Oracle signed these contracts and the government later changed the rules and have stopped those projects from moving forward, it’s hard to argue they should still be held to the same delivery commitments.
(That seems pretty close to the type of situation force majeure is meant for.)

Like Prefetch: https://developers.cloudflare.com/speed/optimization/content...
It has the highest base clock of any modern AMD chip (4.3 GHz), plus 16-cores, which is already more than most workloads need.
Can’t wait to see what Zen 6 brings early next year. Rumors say 24-cores and another big jump in single-core performance.
In the later, I don't have to worry about hardware/power/networking/etc at all.
Because there’s many shades of gray here, no?
I’m afraid posts like this might become fleeting.
Do you think this could be extrapolated to areas with no objectively verifiable results / outcomes?
