My impression from the article is that they were still linked (directly) to the company’s developer account. If that’s wrong, and they were removed, then you’re completely right an…

That’s exactly my point though. If they hadn’t worked there in 3 years, why were they still associated with the developer account in the first place? There’s a couple of ways (that…

Credit worthiness, yes, though that’s typically at approval time and not later on. Risk bans or bans for suspicious / illegal activity? Totally different story (see the stories of …

Maybe we work with different banks, but in my experience it’s more of a “1 strike you’re out” type of thing if they detect illegal activity and to me that feels like what happened …

I’d liken the latter to having a company credit card account. Regardless, in the bank case there’s a high chance adjacent / connected accounts would be frozen (at least for a time)…

There are problems with how transparent you make things though (i.e., giving away the underlying signals). There’s a moving target between fraudsters and risk teams at companies wh…

In my experience, the algorithms are much more forgiving than humans. At least, when I worked with the risk team at my FinTech company, algorithms flagged people for review and the…

Before saying anything else: I’m sorry OP. This is miserable to deal with and I know you’re probably very upset right now. On the other hand- at every company I’ve worked at, this …

Isn’t it… the opposite of a blow to Apple? If there interoperability, why would I ever use anything than my phone’s default messaging app? (Especially if E2E encryption is a requir…

My company uses the same DB sharding tech. It took us about a year of daily / weekly outages until we finally were able to fix our performance issues. 256 database splits, lots of …

Teams is built on top of Skype for Business, SfB is one of the main backends for them.

I feel like there’s a happy medium where you have a quarterly session where you meet with coworkers in person to get face time but work remotely the rest of the time. That’s been g…

There’s a lot of reasons to get mad at Google. Not setting a recovery email is not one of them. I feel bad for this person because it’s a horrible place to be stuck in, but even if…

The most common use of “tracking” cookies is just to be able to count unique views for your site, which I think is a perfectly reasonable thing to want to do. Knowing the impact of…

Isn’t the actual problem that we’re sending people to 4 year institutions who… don’t actually need the education they’re getting? I have so many friends that graduated with ridicul…

When you have to coordinate between AU, US, CA, and UK time zones and do 100% async communication to resolve conflicts during a project, getting everyone into the same physical spa…

I mean, if you don’t want to denormalize your data, you’re going to need to think about indexes in some capacity regardless (this is true for non-relational DBs like Dynamo and Mon…

I would say, without a doubt, that more people in Seattle fall asleep at or after 10pm than wake up before 5am during summer. Plus it’s all a moot point because you need blackout c…

If you have a permanent disability, there’s definitely government programs to support you indefinitely- I have several relatives on those programs (one for muscular dystrophy, one …

I don’t think it’s necessarily true for B2C. It just depends on who your target audience is. It’s pretty normal for a game, shopping app, etc. to start on iOS and make its way over…

Google is the closest group to the consumer here, but the actual bad actors are DoorDash / GrubHub / etc. The delivery companies add the restaurants to their sites without permissi…

You can’t directly book through Google, if I remember correctly. They’ll kick you out to the business’ site to do that. They’re just an aggregator and get paid in referral fees. Th…

Awesome seeing Svelte used in new stacks. It’s definitely my favorite FE experience I’ve had in a long time, made it fun again.

For my team, the WAF wasn’t about protecting us but rather reducing the amount of junk we saw coming from the public internet to our service. We’d get lots of weird payloads that w…

I work with a lot of fraud teams at a FinTech company, and we have the same exact problem. If you give out too much information around what caused the enforcement action, people ar…
