The lads at Stripe buying every company they can find, splitting the G with the boys at the pub, and building a book publisher because they’re private while public fintech gets blown to smithereens

This is unreal
Hidden within @stripe City are two very different phone booths. We also have them in our office (full human-sized ☺️). Why? They’re a great reminder that you can build things with intentionality, craft, and beauty… or you can build them the other way.

Usually big fans of Ally and Darren fletcher but this commentary on eze’s been a bit weird. He was very good on Saturday on the left. We’ve just got a roaming left back and all our creativity in midfield comes from the right

This is awesome and just so happens to be powered by Stripe…😉
Perplexity is reimagining hotel discovery — more like having a personal concierge. You can ask detailed, complex queries, and get tailored hotel recommendations in seconds. What once took over 30 minutes and required juggling multiple tabs and sites now happens with a single question.

Just listened to my partner have an in depth 5 minute conversation with Gemini (via her Pixel) on financial ERP systems. Ask Siri the same thing and guess what? Nothing.

Never thought I’d see the day I’d agree with a Fox News commentator but here we are. You can say what you want about the interaction but it should have been private.
Rove: But the only winner out of today is Vladimir Putin. This is a mistake to have it broadcast. It is a mistake for Zelenskyy to get his dander up. And it was a mistake for the president, vice president to be so public in their comments. This was not a moment that should have been televised

Startups are rocky but boy do they rock. I've recently had to spend a lot of time talking about my previous experiences and the ones that ironically bring me the most joy are notorious war stories at start-ups

If you're brave, smart and restless go push yourself at a scrappy startup you believe in. You won't regret it.

This might be my favourite "stumbled across this" series ever.

Still can’t get my head around Canadian tax laws and taxing unrealised gains. That plus much lower tax free investment amounts surely stifles growth

Unfortunately he’s getting reelected isn’t he? Despite my many many issues with Trump you’ve got to admit the man is a marketing genius

Mornings have freed up quite a bit recently and have been gently reminded how much I love and missed exercising first thing. Minus life threatening decisions on long runs it’s been quite pleasant 😂

@BBC_HaveYourSay This has got to be one of the worst strategic political decisions by Sunak. Crazy to see this happen in real time. Also a great day for the Lib Dems it has to be said. #bbcyourvoice

I've recently been thinking a lot about what a customer centric approach actually means. Lots of companies tout it; but when you dig a little deeper very few actually walk the walk.

A customer centric approach honestly is ensuring a mutually beneficial partnership beyond just solving key business objectives. It's we are growing together hopefully forever 😂

Insane stat
We hit 99.99988% availability for Stripe's payments APIs in April (and at record scale). Just a hair more than one error for every million payments.
