If you omit the domain it shouldn't leak, though as with many things web it's browser-specific: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie#Domain_and_path

This is exciting news.

How do you see `netlify dev` comparing to `firebase serve`? The `--live` feature sounds great and I can imagine the config variables are handled better, but otherwise I'm anticipating a similar experience. Is that correct or am I missing something core?

To add an interesting layer, financial institutions are investing in these solutions. Goldman previously invested in Plaid, and Fidelity invested in Quovo which takes a similar approach.

At some point I think it's on the banks to offer OAuth APIs, then Plaid can swap out one-by-one (if it hasn't already started).

Nylas is facing the same challenge in the email space. They have oauth for gmail, but user/pass for Exchange/SMTP.

I love content like this. I've found my knowledge becomes more specialized as I age, and content like this gives me an opportunity to grok other specialities with relative ease.

For whatever reason (I'm a software engineer), I particularly enjoy content about everyday physical goods. Knife steel has just been added to my bookmark list, but here are a couple more I think are worth sharing:

Making the ideal wool fabric for outerwear: https://weatherwool.com/pages/the-weatherwool-difference

Choosing the ideal card-holding material for leather wallets: https://ashlandleather.com/blogs/inside-ashland/johnny-the-f...

The grades and quality of Panama Hats: https://www.brentblack.com/panama-hat-grades-explained.html

I once visited a Panama Har factory and the difference between a $20 and a $100 hat was striking. However real surprise was awaiting in the special room with $600+ hats. They feel like they are made from completely different material - soft like fabric, yet able to hold their form no matter how much you try to stretch them. You get that unique feeling of a very high-quality physical product like you would get from, for a example holding a very fine sword.

Maybe this observation will be unwelcome, but that content exists because it has very broad appeal these days, especially among hipsters and the "bohemian bourgeois". Those aren't my terms.

"Authenticity" is the word that usually gets wheeled out to explain why people want to spend time learning about, purchasing, and living with these goods, whether the goods are inexpensive, common but basic items or more expensive craft products. In the end it comes down to an ethos about quality, hand-made goods, often made locally, that seems to have survived through the 20th C in the high-end clothing and food industries. It's a form of commerce that people can get behind that doesn't involve mass-production by impersonal corporations.

It's a massive social trend.

Could we stop calling it content and refer to it as “writing”?

I don't think that genie is going back in the bottle.

Not exactly the same thing, but you might well enjoy the Boring Conference: http://diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/2015/05/boring-v.html

Very cool.

Any chance Stripe lifts some restrictions on prohibited businesses soon? Virtual cards can be particularly useful in travel, but that use case on Stripe has long been considered prohibited: https://stripe.com/us/prohibited-businesses

Also, any chance for custom prints on the cards?

Absolutely happy to talk about travel use cases -- we are supporting it today. We also (only) support custom designs.

Wow interesting company being kept in the high risk businesses section. Travel is lumped in with hate groups, wonder why

Deferred income annuities. They're insurance against your risk of longevity.

Here's an example from New York Life: https://www.nylinvestments.com/annuities/products/New-York-L...

I like this, but that's probably because I buy 5 pizzas or so fairly frequently and hate choosing the toppings.

That said, I'd prefer roulette on their medium pizzas that seem to be on sale perpetually. That with a modest upcharge and I might use it.

Interesting to see Rails simultaneously embracing React with the Webpacker gem while also trying to offer a better solution in Turbolinks + Stimulus.

DHH's complaints here about React (and Redux especially) resonate with me, but I have a hard time believing a React-less approach is the best solution. I'd rather Rails roll its own enhancement of Redux - and perhaps CSS management - alongside a handful of component generators that make everything from "Javascript sprinkles" to SPAs easier to manage in Rails.

Webpacker is not about React, but about using a modern asset bundler (Webpack) and ease modern JS development for Rails users (Babel, …). There is a generator to easily setup React, Vue and some major JS frameworks, but those are very basic and optional.

I may be mistaken, but I think the meat of this will be in post 2?

It sounds like your taking React's render() and replacing it with ERB. But, how are you giving the ERB file access to state and props?

I suppose if it's done well, this would make it easier for Rails devs to adopt single page apps. It sounds like you're abstracting away a lot of React and creating a Rails-ier API to it.

I think the intention is to go the opposite way: instantiating React components in the ERB template and passing in state/props from the controller instance variables.

If this card could be funded by my points-generating credit card - with no extra cost - I would be very happy.

Very unlikely. Credit card companies charge fees, which is why such apps (venmo, cash-me, etc) all just push that fee onto you. Usually 3%.

I believe the 3% could still be shouldered by the business, if I'm swiping with them. Venmo would just be sitting in the middle of the transaction so they can prompt me to charge my friends.
