There's good negotiating room at lower values (£1M+) for existing businesses *if* you can demonstrate your avg transaction size and split of cards (particularly credit/debit cards). Though not with Stripe, we always had to use others.
6. The game changes drastically for businesses processing $1B+ per year (maybe even at $100M+ yr) where there is a lot of negotiation leverage. Pricing is custom, and far far lower than this. Adyen is a leader in that space. They won’t bother with small players tho!.

When I read Databricks might acquire Neon I went "nooooo!". Then I remembered there's two 4-letter-starts-with-N Postgres startups and @niledatabase is the one I care about 😂.

It's ridiculous that it takes me as long to drive across Dorset as it does to drive to London.
It's ridiculous that there's no continuous motorway from London to Edinburgh.

Don't know who else to say this to @DynamicWebPaige but in AIStudio when researching a topic w Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 03-25 - which it's awesome at btw - I find the output in "Thoughts" more helpful than the reply. Can we have a way to save your compute and output Thoughts only?

Wake me up when US politics reaches this level.
Oswulf son of Eadwulf, ruler of Bebbanburg (Bamburgh), slew rival Copsig #OTD in 1067. Oswulf stormed Copsig’s hall at Newburn-on-Tyne, but his quarry fled to a church. Oswulf set the building ablaze. When Copsig emerged from the flames Oswulf beheaded him. 📸Vivek Chugh

Been wanting this for ages!.
New in Chrome 134 on Android: the ability to place the Address Bar (aka “Omnibox”) at the bottom. (Could be you need to flip on a feature flag if you don’t see the option in Chrome’s Settings). Chrome on iOS has had this for quite some time now, happy to see this on Android too.
