@pentacent_hq @benfreu I wouldn’t say it’s “guaranteed.”

I’ve personally found multiple errors and inconsistencies with various Merchants of Record.

Also: depending on the government, you may not be shielded from the liability for those mistakes.

@buildyoursaas 😄

I love the explainer animations that @dnsimple produced for their "How DNS works" videos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eqEl6scOvw

I want to do something similar for a "How SaaS Sales Tax works" video.

This feels like a natural job for AI to help me create something faster.

@Rexchan999 Do they have AI in that tool now?

@cheerfulpaige Do they have an AI component?

@ianlandsman @mjwhansen has been working on this.

@cjav_dev 🤔

@nathanallotey @Mixergy It was!

@jonfriesen @buildyoursaas @dgiunta 😄

@janetacarr Increasingly, foreign states expect you to collect and remit sales tax if their citizens are purchasing your services or products.

@christianbowens @jarek_rozanski @PaddleHQ Can you point to this legal definition here in Canada?

I can’t find any legislation that mentions “Merchant of Record”

@jarek_rozanski @PaddleHQ First: that's incorrect (it applies to businesses).

Second: how come you didn't ask me if I was a consumer? (I was just going to use your analytics on my private website that's not a business)

@gonedark Yup, absolutely.

I think that’s the beauty of it, honestly: purposefully leaving some energy, time, and resources in the tank, and not spending (risking) it all on the business.

A calm company can translate strong customer demand into a healthy returns with reasonable effort.

@vcolinau @balsamiq @peldi Yes! 🙌

@podcastharry @asmartbear The MV7 is good. (Jon Buda uses that one)

@mckenna_andrew Nobody really knows! Haha.

He got pretty drunk, and apparently he got more and more angry

@theorencohen_ @TransistorFM The challenge is that Spotify doesn’t conform to the existing “video in RSS feed” spec.

@ApplePodcasts uses video in RSS, but the video feature is pretty hidden.

YouTube doesn’t currently ingest video via RSS either.

@theorencohen_ @TransistorFM Currently we only support audio podcasts.

Curious: which kind of video podcast were you looking to start?

@earthlingworks I'd love to see some case studies with numbers.

I wonder if @itsurboyevan or the folks at @every ever did some analysis on the Netflix pricing increase. 🤔

@iroughol 100%

@tonkapark Perhaps it's just the market I'm in, but:

a) whenever I do that calculus (churn vs more money from new customers), keeping existing customers happy wins.

b) our prices at Transistor haven't gone up that much?

RT @shaun_vids: this post appears to be in violation of the twitter rules. i am going to report it

@StevenNatera "any attempts to bypass restrictions on external links to the above prohibited social media platforms through technical or non-technical means (e.g. URL cloaking, plaintext obfuscation) is in violation of this policy."

https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/social-platforms-policy

@RobinStanley @kylegawley @levelsio It specifically says you can't say it if you include your username.

But it also says:
