Given they will have the debit card saved, perhaps Snapchat is thinking it will be much easier to offer products to their users in the future.

That was one of the first things I noticed. You can disable it in general settings but unfortunately it is all or nothing. Now I can only pull it up from the lock screen.

Ah I see.. I misunderstood the first time around. I thought you meant to store the user table in a flat file. Thank you for the explanation. That reminds me, I need to convert to Innodb one of these days.

Yah this story made me cringe. What exactly do you mean by:

"Using a relational database as a flat data store? Super bad."

Are you referring to the users table? I am not too accustomed to using flat files, so I am curious.

Perhaps a better approach would be to add a "preload" button, and then use the hidden element as you suggested so we aren't loading audio we aren't interested in.

Another idea would be to add a personal user queue to do the same thing. Awesome site btw.
