I'm curious if anyone on here ever used GDPR (or some other legal framework) to get this kind of ban overturned or at least explained.

We removed ads from our app a few years ago after having read a similar story. In our case we were worried that any script kiddie or bad actor could very easily sabotage us and cause us to go bankrupt without any recourse.

I don't know what they did in VS2019 but there was clearly a ridiculous perf hit in many modules, especially Intellisense related. While I sort of liked the AI-predictions, they introduced a serious lag in typing and every couple of se

Thanks for the link. I noticed some of these OEMs had started implementing their own "more reliable" PushKits, but I am guessing that the privacy implications are quite bad so it's basically a non-starter.

Thank you for this! It seems like many apps on the growth path go through this same investigation, since we arrived at many of the same conclusions you did (down to calling our own webhooks from within onMessageReceived to retry, or figure

We've also run an app with 1 million+ users for a few years, and I can confirm that notifications are a wreck on both platforms, but IMO even more so on Android/FCM. In fact most of our calculations show that we have never gone pa

I've been using it as a language learning app. I just join some channels in my target language and listen to various people's voices and accents and try to understand them. Every once in a while if I'm feeling brave I'll

As a B2C app, we're also really confused by a bunch of them and are waiting to see if they will clarify or refactor it in a better way. A lot of our entry fields fall under the "if you manually enter it we will use it to refine th

Thank for this discussion, it is really interesting to me! The surgeon proposed what was probably the algorithmic way to fix the problem. Given that the OP was having issues because of their heels, odds are that the surgery wouldn't ha

Arrogance because the GP, neuro and cardio all made completely different diagnoses (conveniently from within their field of expertise) based on 15 minute visits and prescribed non-trivial medications. Putting a 24-year old on beta blockers,

Yes, except OP being offered surgery for "ligament and tendon rerouting" as the solution to a problem the doctors spent just a few minutes understanding is the equivalent of your IT guy above suggesting the HR person open up their

I got back to normal after about a month of supplements and sunlight. It happened to me again a couple of years later to a much lesser degree since I had just forgotten about supplements and then once again was resolved the same way.

Dealing with some specialists feels like dealing with automated bots. They almost sound like they follow a script down to the letter. If A then prescribe B, then C. And almost never look at the big picture. And every symptom that happens t

For the same exact issue, you can go to a cardio and get prescribed some cardio-related medication, go to a neuro and get prescribed neuro-related medication, etc. To a hammer everything is a nail. I was put on antibiotics, beta blockers, t

Here is my story. A few years after coming to the US I started developing some neurological symptoms: confusion, dizziness, lightheadedness. 1. The GP first blamed it on dehydration and sent me home and told me to drink plenty of water. Wen

As a user I don't like it but as an app/website provider, it significantly delays spammers, giving them the illusion that what they're doing is working so they should just maintain the status quo. If instead you outright ban

Yeah even in online dating, it just turns to "let's meet up after this is over lol" and then you completely forget each other a couple days later.

So if this was triggered by the vaccine (rather than the adenoviral vector), would it mean that this person might have also had TM if they had caught Covid19?

On the other side of this, if you have a long credit history you just don't remember the answer for many of these things. What was my apartment number 15 years ago? Which county did I stay in for one month while I was in temporary hou

I don't remember the math on hashing/bcrypt but isn't this the case that all passwords sort of hash to a fixed length string? Like why even have something like "your bank password must be 8-12 characters" long. Obvi

Not sure why it's not mentioned but, in addition to technical mitigation, if you know the attacker's general info, then maybe you can also try other avenues such as law enforcement or legal claims. More work as well but when you w

Also, after you hit a certain number of users the "bad actors" sometimes have people behind them manually adjusting their bots' algorithms to match your tricks.
