People usually associate Stripe with the simplicity/power of our APIs (which we're proud of), but I think the revenue uplift that users report is just as important. (The increase comes from a combination of network-level optimizations, adaptive payment method coverage, and better UIs. This is basically a Pareto improvement for the ecosystem -- the uplift for businesses is also a reduction in friction/barriers for consumers.) stripe.com/newsroom/news/opt…

Today, we shared our annual user letter which highlights the power of @stripe’s payment optimization tools. For users like @HLInvest, the UK’s largest retail investment platform, we helped them reduce failed payments by £540m last year.

Today's Bits about Money covers some fun but unglamorous improvements to credit card protocols spearheaded by Stripe, using an innovative hack around having to upgrade every bank and business using card to get them over the line. bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/i…

Kind of crazy that a computing device designed for desktop gaming has become critical to the emergence of super useful AI systems.

For two decades we’ve all worked hard to teach our parents to not type in a question into a search engine. Now they’re having the last laugh.

insane how the only notable change since Sandy Hook is that kids are now formally trained to hide, barricade doors, fight, or run for their lives. that was the solution. to literally put the responsibility on them to figure it out and wish them luck.
