    Stripe is a technology company that allows both private individuals and businesses to accept payments over the Internet. Stripe focuses on providing the technical, fraud prevention, and banking infrastructure required to operate online payment systems.

    Payment logistics

    Using Stripe, web developers can integrate payment processing into their websites without having to register and maintain a merchant account. Stripe has a seven-day waiting period for transactions, during which time it profiles the businesses involved to protect against potential fraud. Stripe then transfers the funds directly into the bank account linked to the payee.

    History

    John and Patrick Collison founded Stripe in 2010 Stripe began as a startup called /dev/payments. The name resulted in misspellings and confusion to those outside the company, so the company renamed itself Stripe. In June 2010, Stripe received seed funding from Y Combinator, a startup accelerator. In May 2011, Stripe received a $2 million investment from venture capitalists Peter Thiel, Sequoia Capital, and Andreessen Horowitz. In February 2012, Stripe received a $18 million Series A investment led by Sequoia Capital at a $100 million valuation. Stripe launched publicly in September 2011 after an extensive private beta. Less than a year after its public launch, Stripe received a $20 million Series B investment from General Catalyst, Sequoia Capital, Peter Thiel, Redpoint Ventures, Chris Dixon, and Aaron Levie. In March, 2013, Stripe acquired chat and task-management application Kickoff.

    Gremlins

    Gremlins is a 1984 American comedy horror film directed by Joe Dante and released by Warner Bros. The film is about a young man who receives a strange creature called a mogwai as a pet, which then spawns other creatures who transform into small, destructive, evil monsters. This story was continued with a sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, released in 1990. Unlike the lighter sequel, Gremlins opts for more black comedy, balanced against a Christmastime setting. Both films were the center of large merchandising campaigns.

    Steven Spielberg was the film's executive producer and the screenplay was written by Chris Columbus. The film stars Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates, with Howie Mandel providing the voice of Gizmo, the main mogwai character. Gremlins was a commercial success and received positive reviews from critics. However, the film was also heavily criticized for some of its more violent sequences. In response to this and to similar complaints about Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Spielberg suggested that the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) alter its rating system, which it did within two months of the film's release.

    Prohibition

    by: Zoetrope

    In an abandoned warehouse late at night in the shipping yards
    The gangsters keep a watchful eye for the man in blue
    As a loaded semi pulls up to an empty dock
    The rear door opens to reveal the demon alcohol
    CHORUS:
    Restriction drinking's against the law
    Prohibition the demon alcohol
    A heavy profit's to be turned on this mountain dew
    But if you're caught you might get killed or thrown in jail
    But what's the fuss it's soon to be legal anyway
    So you may as well go with the flow of things to come
    CHORUS
    What you see is what you get on a one shot deal
    So make it now and worry later about the end result
    When the loaded semi pulls up to the empty dock
    You'll get another week's supply of alcohol
