New best story on Hacker News: Shopify says remove Stripe billing or get booted from their app store

Shopify says remove Stripe billing or get booted from their app store 532 by ponny | 163 comments on Hacker News. We're a SaaS business currently listed on the Shopify App store. Today we got this stern email from Shopify's 'Partner Governance' team. TLDR: Don't even have Stripe as an option for Shopify users or we'll boot you. Also backpay since Jan 2019. "At Shopify, it is critical to maintain high trust and integrity within the Shopify App Store, so merchants have a reliable place to find solutions to grow their business. During a routine investigation, Partner Governance identified your app [our app] as offering external billing for Shopify merchants and not using the Billing API for all payments. [a couple of images of our cart] As you are aware, all paid apps are required to use our Billing API, as noted in our Partner Program Agreement (Section 3.2 Payments, Point 5) unless express permission is granted by Shopify.

My experience as a Gazan girl getting into Silicon Valley companies 655 by daliaawad | 137 comments on Hacker News. Hiii everyone, this is my first time posting here!

Help desk work seems the most promising / practical, but I haven't been able to find anything yet. The remote jobs I see posted are nearly all for higher-end positions. I live in the poorest region of the United States, but I do the best with what I have. I’ve worked on my family’s farm and done a couple stints at retail beauty supply shops that friends own.

What unique or high-quality content only exists outside the English-speaking web? Is there a Chinese equivalent to Hacker News? A Hindi StackOverflow? I would love to broaden my horizons :)
