As several commenters pointed out below (thank you all!), the newsy link is <a href="https://stripe.com/terminal/stripe-reader" rel="nofollow">https://stripe.com/terminal/stripe-reader</a>.<p>Since <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27534156" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27534156</a> was an earlier submission of that link, I've moved the relevant comments thither and re-upped it.
Stripe Reader may be a more accurate link: <a href="https://stripe.com/terminal/stripe-reader" rel="nofollow">https://stripe.com/terminal/stripe-reader</a>. This is Stripe announcing its own own hardware that developers can use to build their own point of sale payments experiences.
Not sure what's novel here. Here's a thread with the same title from 3 years ago: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18007255" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18007255</a>
