Yep. Looking to use Chargebee + Stripe for my Saas offering later this year.

$15 due to a single sale seems very significant. Correct me if I'm wrong, but by your reckoning just 100 super collectable sales (average $5m) could raise the overall average by over $500.

That's a bit simplistic. Substantial demand makes economies of scale possible which can lead to lower prices. The opposite is also true (i.e. lack of demand leading to increased production costs).

> I am more tolerant or opposing views than most, unfortunately. Why do you say "unfortunately"? I would say it is a strength if you can tolerate opposing views without necessarily accepting them.

We should be taxing productive activity less and income earned through simply owning things more. The balance has moved too far in the opposite direction.

I think you'll enjoy this short video[1]. It's about a couple in the south of NZ that purchased a small piece of land with a rundown house and transformed it into an 'edible garden' of sorts. They developed a very '

I would say that identity politics is inherently divisive. I count myself as decidedly 'of-the-left' but feel very excluded by the type of identity politics practiced by, for instance, The Guardian.

I take your point, but if we are going to measure how likely it is for an activity to lead to death then total deaths and total participants (or 'participant-time') are what we will look at. Most people would agree that driving ha

Like others here are saying, a lot of this seems to be commercial rather than residential use so an immediate presumption of profligacy might not be appropriate. Having said that, I remember years ago being shocked when someone told me that

Illegal in Europe. Maybe by 'anonymising' the data they are satisfying the legal requirements of some other jurisdiction(s).

Email as username and a password. Sign in with Google/Twitter/Facebook? No chance. While (c) is nice, and I have considered it for my own projects, it is impractical because of greylisting[1]. See this comment from just a few hour

To me (not a lawyer) it seems like a weak argument. The policies in question are Birkenstock's. Amazon doesn't necessarily know anything about the restrictions placed on the retailers.

Assuming each workday you travel to drop your child at school, then to work, then back to collect your child, then home, you will be travelling (15 + 15 + 22 + 22 + 15 + 15) x 5 = 520 miles each week. I'm sure you have come to some oth
