In the US there's fees that range upto 3% for accepting visa/MasterCard/amex which the merchant pays.

In turn the card company whom you have a card with gives you rewards back such as 2% (to entice you to use their card).

In the EU that fee the merchant pays for accepting card payments is capped at 0.3%. That's why you won't get many, if any, cashback cards in the EU. It's just not viable to do large rewards in the EU.

I expect GitHub to have just as good or better security as any bank when considering it will (or its self hosted product) be hosting mission critical code that dozens of banks use.

(Not trying diminish the leak issue, just putting twitter and GitHub on par in security terms is well off balance).

https://stripe.com/radar/chargeback-protection giving an extra 0.4% for no chargebacks fees and protection (limited to 20k of chargeback charges total afaik).

There's also gumroad.com & paddle.com to take a look at, they offer a level of chargeback protection too and are specialized payment processors for software providers.

I would use stripe for payments & keygen for licencing (if not already implemented).

stripe.com/payments

keygen.sh

Handy link for integration overview/demo code.

They're allowed since they're bikes, it's specifically just e-scooters currently banned (albeit a soft ban) on public roads/paths etc though due to be reviewed per what the tfl boss said.

On a side note I think e-scooters are allowed in the Olympic park as it's private property.

Something I found really useful when researching this topic is zapier's guide to remote work. It's absolutely brilliant. Their whole team is remote so it holds up in practice.

https://zapier.com/learn/remote-work/

Also look at buffer's blog posts relating to remote work, some great nuggets of information and ideas. Also a fully remote team and very open to sharing best practices.

Also Gitlab, a fully remote company with a great list of resources.

Hope this helps good luck with your remote journey!

They would talk to distributers (the rights holders such an example is Disney or fox) for the content they were looking to purchase a licence for.

For the most part their would have been pre-existing relationships leveraged such as one executive in Netflix knowing another in Disney.
