This is a different API than for App Store billing afaik

They don't understand the model where SaaS businesses use Shopify as a billing channel on top of their own subscription model, it's all or nothing - they assume that anything in the app store can only use Shopify billing if the user installs via Shopify, which is fair but their billing API has glaring issues:

- App Charges get added to clients bills, you're not getting paid right away (60+ days in some cases) vs getting paid instantly

- If someone doesn't pay their Shopify bill, tough shit you're not getting paid

- Got fraudulent accounts billing via Shopify? They can use your app then never pay anything - fun

- Want to do refunds? Too bad there's no way to do it via the API you have to manually email Shopify then they apply an App Credit (not even a refund) for the customer, then you email them back

- Uninstalling the Shopify App cancels billing, so you lose complete control of your normal downgrade process

- Payments come via PayPal bi monthly :(

There's plenty more, but you're basically losing all the upside of Stripe in exchange for the App Store promotion of your app.

Been using Puma in clustered mode for almost a year now & it blows away any of the other alteratives (for our use case) by a large margin.

Found it difficult to follow once "today" got down to 1px in size. Shows us just how insignificant we are compared to time itself.

Whilst it's truly amazing that they've found 3 separate photos of the same person in the same spot at the blast there's a few questions that come to mind:

- If he was planning to commit the atrocity he did, why would you stand & talk to someone? (unless they were perhaps working together)

- There's a water bottle in the backpack which leads me to believe that person is a runner?

- The bag seems a bit small to hold a 6L pressure cooker. Plus he doesn't seem to be straining/leaning forward.

- If you're standing in the crowd most people will take a backpack off & put it at their feet?

- The crowd in the second & third photos is much busier which means it's not the same spot. If you planted a bomb why would you stand in the crowd?

Been trying to line up the flags in the last 2 photos to get an idea of where he's standing but can't manage it.

I dunno, seems like the firing is more to seem like they are "doing the right thing" I personally don't think someone should be let go over comments that are part of a private conversation. It was fine for Adria Richards to make sexist jokes on Twitter yet SendGrid firmly stand by her as a company.

Playhaven should have done the same.

Thanks! ^_^

That is a pretty good idea, I'll pop it into our roadmap. We've got a chunk of time allocated this month to work on some stuff & that's an easy quick win :)
