They’re loading ad after every choice which seems to take a long time for me (iOS + Safari)

South bay anecdote: Rent was ~3.8k, I tried to negotiate on renewal (4- at same rate) saying market conditions dont justify it. The management refused to go below ~3.3k, now they are offering same apartment at 2.8k after I vacated.

That's deep decrease (~33%), I fully expect the effects to show up starting Q4.

Huh!

I thought it was always me and I was being too cynical but on mobile web, half of the times, I am scrolling and stop to click on media/link in the tweet and freaking add shows up and I end up clicking on that. May be it's just my device but annoying as hell UX.

As far as I see, your link has nothing to do with 1.11.4 release. May be you wanted to link to a specific page?

Anecdotally, I like that separation because in absence of it working with any large-ish project (which most real life projects are), it'd get super hard for my brain to pick out tests even if they all had certain prefix/nomenclature.

Caveat: I use IntelliJ and I just jump to tests using CMD+SHIFT+T shortcut so not necessarily a generic example.

Example: I am physically/mentally/financially capable of taking a bike tour across US, to do that I need X amount of time.

Owing to other responsibilities I can not allocate X amount of time right now. (Ignoring whole COVID-19 saga of course)

Slightly off-topic, but I have been raising this point (after learning the lesson hard way) within my larger engineering org and seem to be getting nowhere towards convincing people that the #1 reason for degraded quality of delivery is too many big ticket changes going on at same time.

What's the playbook for this? Any recommended reading etc would be a huge favor.

PS: Not necessarily a question to OP but anyone passing by.

Thanks for responding Patrick, as I said I actually do believe that the claim you're making is not false.

I am always curious about/collecting patterns successful teams leverage for solving problems that I consider important.

Being able to communicate fraudulent payments that Stripe blocks is definitely one of them.

I was being a bit selfish when I asked that, my thought process was like; "Going forward data-collection is going to be scrutinized much more than now and rightfully so. If I ever run a business where we collect data for a very important use case I would want to make sure that we are able to communicate what, why, and how with utmost level of transparency)."

Hope that puts some context to my question, it was a good-faith question. :)

millions of fraudulent payments per day

Are there ways for transparently communicating (verifiable) stats for this claim?

To be clear, I am not saying that your claim is not true but if one thing HN has taught me, it is to always ask for data backing up claims that are tall.

Could it be that they're just bogged down in fire fighting and paying off the tech debt accumulated over years? (Genuine question, as someone who has never worked in >50 eng company, I always wonder how those companies tackle stuff like this.)

This, exactly this. I have been trying to convert a bunch of my non-tech social network to start using privacy respecting services (DDG/Signal/Tutanota primarily) and have seen more of apathy than pushback. People seem to have no qualms about their search history/messaging being analyzed/indexed/used for targeting as long as they can keep using those services free.

I hope for the sake of person being interrogated that it is fake but this could be a tactic for intimidating other protestors who are not firmly committed and have other responsibilities in life to worry about.
