As an investor, you’re surely familiar with people underestimating the significance of exponents...

Not expressing any opinion on the merits of the respective budgets, but that number ($59B) is small just because of where the spending happens. Including state budgets, total government spending on education is >$700B/year.

We’ve added official TypeScript support to our Node.js library. 🎉 You now have type errors, autocompletion for API fields and params, in-editor documentation, and much more! Get started at and catch those errors early. 📝

I believe that Kissinger said that, in DC, you spend down the intellectual capital you bring. I think this phenomenon generalizes to an unsettling degree.

If you’re using Stripe Corporate Card check out the new virtual card feature. It’s in the dashboard. (Instantly issue a new card not tied to a particular human, in case you want to put all the SaaS on one card, have a card just for AWS, make per-team purchasing cards, etc.)

Improving access to opportunity and supporting geographic mobility are among the world's biggest challenges. We're running a bunch of billboards across California this week to support , the bill that would enable vastly expanded housing supply across the state.

Missing pages and inability to read more of the book. I understand that copyright agreements are an impediment but the limitations ruin the product. (I’d be willing to pay to read more if necessary.)

Google Books is the most frustrating product I use on a regular basis. It’s *almost* incredible (search all books instantly!). But instead it feels like what you’d get if JSTOR ran Wikipedia.

(Separately, I *also* love the way that errors -- like the one here -- include a debug URL. In addition to helping the developer fix things, access patterns to those URLs give us practical telemetry about what's causing confusion so that we can make improvements.)

Inbox: "How does Stripe maintain a high level of polish?" Some thoughts, in my personal capacity as someone who writes code occasionally and knows a bit of the story but isn't involved in it daily:

Couldn’t a future board / CEO change how encryption works, even if initially E2E encrypted?

In our survey last quarter, 85% of Capital users rated their satisfaction 7/7. We're excited to continue expanding access over the course of 2020!

I also liked 's idea (from ) of "article ransoms": unavailable until a fixed total amount is collectively paid.
