If you have an app with a traditional backend, you likely wouldn't. I saw the need when I had a couple of simple apps where I didn't really have a web server where I could create payments/subscriptions via stripe's serve

I created a similar project about a year ago that never got much traction: https://paysly.io/ Its similar in principal, but it also creates a signed version of the stripe response [1], so you can hand it off to a backend an

Ah, yeah, I'm with you. I think the distinction between taste-driven preference vs technical superiority is important (maybe a more interesting discussion would surround the juxtaposition of audio gear and organic/non-gmo food mar

It really wasn't intended to come across as an argument, thats why one isn't present. I don't think this is really a problem easily fixed (short of overhauling the ethos of consumerism). I was just curious if the commenter th

I bet I spend 20 or so hours a year researching headphones. My current daily drivers are $11 earbuds and a pair of $80 cans for focused listening. As with most things, there are a vocal few who do obsesses and come across as elitist, but I

Do you think it preys on delusion more than the "high end" spaces of other niche markets? I think the same kind of upsells occur in spaces like sporting gear, bags and luggage, computer peripherals, etc. Hell, I think even fine fo

It feels like a bit of both. The phone is probably a focal point for other issues. But, I don't think we should downplay the fact that the finely tuned, variable reward scheduled, Skinner boxs that are many modern apps are anywhere nea

It attempts to makes the left ear only hear what is coming out of the left channel and the right ear only hear what is coming out of the right - as if you are using headphones. Normally with speakers, both ears are going to hear both.

I'm with you in that there are other stats which we can compare which may be more similar, but I do feel that the context is still important for those that don't have a real frame of reference for death tolls. "apples to oran

Yeah, I agree - I think that shift is a part of what prompted the change I mentioned. I just feel like there were already a smattering of other games that followed the "convenience" or "vanity" based cash shop model and

I found this a good read, but I don't feel that Fortnight's business model is really as novel as the author suggests. Free to play games (MMOs in particular) had been leveraging this consumer behavior for quite a while. I think it

Nice - this is a great idea! How hard would it be to add support for other kinds of cards? We typically do "welcome" cards for new hires, but (as we are now all working from home) that has recently become difficult.

If you are using the checkout flows, they will use SCA. I am currently working on a solution to swap to the payment-intent (SCA compliant) driven flow for elements, but I found that I wasn't getting the events back which I needed from

Based on the content, it seems to be primarily a clever title. I don't think the author is trying to refute a hypothetical group of engineers who are trying to apply Marie Kondo's philosophy to software. (Not that there aren'

I would think that employees at those companies would probably prefer if they weren't doing business with some of those people, but I think it is much more difficult in cases where there is just a good being purchased through retailers

I'm sure these people have varying viewpoints across the spectrum on a variety of issues, but this is a direct contract with a client that currently has a large target on it's back. These employees agree they would prefer not to b

Yeah, I am curious about this as well. I can say that I _would_ be more likely to recommend a service that is easy to cancel, but I am curious if that is enough to offset the people who don't follow through. It probably depends on mark

I feel that this sentiment could be applied to almost anything and isn't really meaningful. Almost every accident ever could be attributed to negligence somewhere.

"Security hole" may have been poor word choice on my part. "Potentially unsafe process recommendation" would probably be a more apt description. My concern is not a security issue or vulnerability on their site or servic

Looking at the docs ( https://docs.bolt.com/v1/docs/step-2-load-bolt-checkout ) it instructs the reader: "The onSuccess method will be called when Bolt successfully processes a transaction. This can be used as
