Fun story on this @patrickc , when you purchased stripe[.]com the former owner still had a valid SSL certificate. It lasted a couple years into your ownership IIRC.
@lanrat and I discovered this and gave this example at Defcon a 8 years ago (expired by that time)
.@patrickc on how Stripe got its name:
"We just couldn't come up with a good name... We were literally reduced to picking random words late at night."
"One of the folks at Stripe had the bright idea of, 'Why don't we just assemble a big list of words and email all of the owners of the dot com domains?'"
"And then we also continued our own creative process. We came up with memorable names like PayDemon... We thought it was super clever because we could have this awesome mascot."
"The owner of stripe.com generously responded to us and had an offer that was at least within our plausible budgetary range."
"But we couldn't decide between PayDemon and Stripe. I swear I'm not making this up... If we could not settle on a name by December 20th, 2010, we would just default to Stripe. And we couldn't think of a more compelling name, and so Stripe it became."

The idea for our 32nd store was to do an apocalypse theme, but that ended up becoming the theme for all our stores.

i cannot believe i was right about this
ALT @chrisarvinsf Jun 5: "i don't understand driver assaults being used as a pretext for transporting cops in riot gear to peaceful protests. if muni refused to do that, would SFPD stop protecting bus drivers?"
ALT @SanFranciscoPOA Jun 10: "Hey Muni, lose our number next time you need officers for fare evasion enforcement or removing problem passengers from your buses and trains."
