(Portuguese here) Portuguese Parliament and Government publish law every day and afterhours[1], as a citizen I have to keep up with this. MPs believe they are doing a great job by producing more Law, instead of checking if what is in place

We now only track sales, stopped Google Analytics or any type of third party analytics. Site analytics can be a waste of energy and time. Also, user privacy is critical for success. With this, we cut our competitors targetting our clients w

My grandfather was a meteorologist (taught me forecast based observation and weather station data), and I am also a first officer half of the year (as well have education in modelling for navigation). This year was rough with modelling. I u

Smells bad to me. Paying 6 figures without HMRC touching it, hummm! People that engage defamation need to have a proper sentence, it can start we community service.

What’s amazing is the wrongdoers blame a 70s law, when GDPR is place, and well know. The only legitimate entity to receive such information was PSP(the police responsible) no one else, not even the government. For me this is the tip of the

not even humans. what humans don't understand is that when you protect ecosystems, i.e. the planet you protect your own species. We are part of a biological "balance" a change creates risks for us.

What is shocking to me, is why aggregators got bailouts. This is not sustainable for the market. 16% to 30% commission, taxes, costs, almost hotels are subsidizing tourist stays. There is a path outside the marketplaces, we offer plenty of

Booking.com does nothing special, it is the hotels that charge your card, and pay a commission to Booking.com. The only thing is that they enforce some common policies. Hotels give power to the marketplaces and then Stockholm syndrome kicks

I know it is hard, but I have done it and I am a Revenue Manager in hospitality and a tours company. You have to be strong, it is a long process where you get repeat customers and friends of customers. A small loyalty program, best protecti

Stop using marketplaces and book directly, these companies have no risks and take 16% to 30% commissions. If consumers start booking directly, recovery from the pandemic will be much faster.

Some years ago I had manager that replied to a staff member ”you are paid to work, not to think or speak”. Yep, the company went bust. People need to be cared for, if they want to talk about Pluto and politics, let them and listen. This all

This post was an inspiration, so I decided to cancel my subscription. It was a swift cancellation, 3 minutes, maybe because of the effect of this thread. I typed 2 x "I want to speak with areal person". regardless of the question

Complex customers can use 0.5% extra service from Stripe, they could even build their own solution. Billing, recurring, invoicing can be done here. What could be interesting is setting up a billing service that the client brings its own Pay

Stripe is charging extra 0.5% for the billing feature, so a billing charge goes in the US with stripe 3.4% + 30¢. It could be done for 2.9% + 30¢ + 5¢, stripe will still get the its cut, but not the extra 0.5%.

¢5/transactions for billing services we could do it, might need some small seed funding to set up a small dev team. Do you think we could get interest customers?

by hugoromano 6y ago
5¢ made sense, 0.5% is a parasitic approach, the tech stack and engineering costs them 0.1¢ per recurring transaction.

Climate by Stripe is nonsense. We need action and mindset change, not another fee. Eventually people will be arrested by carbon offsetting fraud, fake projects and ecosystem destruction. Wait for it...
