Does anyone know more about the mental state that inspires people to commit arson?

Drug dealing or murder often have selfish or monetary gains; but what is gained from burning the wildlands? Is it a power thing?

Calling all armchair psychologists

But like one of the Identity team folks said, the hotel would only have the OPTION to download and store those blobs. They aren't required to, and I'm assuming they would not. They'd be happy with the verification result and letting Stripe handle storing the PII.

Speaking from experience as we use Stripe Identity, and love not having to store the PII.

I actually disagree with this as well. The Hacker News user is not the average user. The average user has no idea what Stripe is, they assume that the business requesting a verification will have access to anything they submit.

I know this because we use Stripe Identity ourselves (in beta) and user's have no idea that Stripe and us are different companies.
