Traffic distribution is basically never uniform. Unless maybe if you've only got very very few products/pages (like just 1-5), though that definitely changes long before you reach 10_000 items. And for the majority of mid to big w

Indeed it's both not ethical not legal in most parts of the world. My educated guess it that only reason it happens anywhere at all - is within "smaller" websites/companies which: a) don't know better because they a

That's really good thinking - and both wishlist and "bought x times" are nice representation of the real world "social proof" where you're walking next to a store or bakery and see a long queue of people waitin

For smaller websites the "send ping every X seconds", and/or combo of that with "onLoad do +1, onUnload do -1" might work. Though for really big websites - with millions of users making requests to 1000s of web&#x2F

Not sure what illegal consumer practice are you talking about. Reading through the points from the page you posted - I think internally only actions related to that were basically to add more info (e.g. popup/hover or just "on our

This totally skipped the fact that some (or most of the world?!?) a while ago started to split applied from theoretical sciences/studies. So in that circle - they would go into slightly different directions.

The disadvantage due to pregnancy leave is tricky stuff - even with best intentions. (Actually same for any other longer term leave). Especially if in the X months you are away, someone needs to step in as temp replacement because you'
