Thanks. The next time I submit my "interest in availability" of a "certificate" for "transportation from the origin to the destination" on a "web service" affording a "data exchang…

That's not what the clear explicit agreement between the two parties is in this case. Why do sellers list any product details at all? Both Google and Delta have this in writing: I …

Are you talking specifically about engineering? If you have strong ethical disagreements with your current employer, start prepping for interviews. Start early. Invest 2-3 months. …

That's not the point though. The point is that when you place a reservation, certain things are included. In the case of a restaurant, chairs are included. In the case of Delta, th…

Is it even possible to send crypto with 0 transaction fees? If yes, my knowledge is really outdated in this area.

Hard to disagree with Apple here. Crypto "absolutists" fail to acknowledge how prevalent crypto scams are, so a blanket enablement of any and all apps to have crypto payment featur…

Yes, you are right. When you reserve a "table" at a restaurant you are actually not promised chairs. If you want to reserve chairs - that’s +$20. Don’t want to reserve chairs? Just…

Delta tells me that there is a seat available at this price before I agree to it. After I agree to it it tells me that there is no seat available at this price unless I pay more. T…

I have shared the screenshots in this thread. https://imgur.com/a/X923fSo I don't trust Delta enough to have any desire to reach out to them.

Wow, ok. You think there is nothing wrong with the airline telling me that 1 seat is available on one screen and then telling me that there are no seats available unless I pay more…

What product do you think I am buying? A promise that they might find a seat for me if I show up at the airport? It puzzles me how many people at HN are so eager to defend dark pat…

Urgency is one of the key motivators for using dark patterns. Wouldn't be surprised if Delta defaults to "1 seat available at this price" for all busy flights within X take off tim…

I expect these patters from all low-cost airlines, so fly Alaska whenever possible.

It's not. Delta shows me that there is 1 seat available at this price. Here are the screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/X923fSo

Here is the specific Google Flight I selected: https://www.google.com/travel/flights/s/yYPhNC6aXX4VP5cj8 Here are the screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/X923fSo

For a tech forum it is surprising how many commenters in this thread don’t understand what are “dark patterns”. It’s not fraud. Of course eventually I will see the total cost. It’s…

That doesn't capture the range of their dark patterns. I am literally testing this now. I am on Delta website going through the booking process (redirected form Google Flights). Th…

I just tried to find a roundtrip flight from SF to LA on Google Flights. Spent some time comparing prices, different airports, etc. Ended up picking one option, click, click, click…

You might be looking for a different word here. A dark pattern is not fraud or outright lying. These are already illegal. Seeing the total price at the end of the purchasing proces…

I might be wrong, but my recollection is that the practice of changing the price based on user location has been challenged in court some time ago. It's appalling that companies do…

Not sure if you are being sarcastic. MS has been sued for bribery and kickbacks and has paid a sizable fine to settle (including a criminal fine) with the US Justice Department. ht…

That's the first step.

Do you feel depressed and suicidal looking at other people's builds in Factorio?

The focus of this lawsuit is specifically the declining mental health of minors, not the good quality of the product. If games will be determined to have an extremely detrimental e…

An idealistic appeal to an unattainable equal application of an extremely multi-faceted legal framework is not an argument.
