Dating makes money, Tinder is successful, so Facebook are leaving money on the table... or worse, letting someone else take the money from the table... if they don't do dating. Of course, the pool of potential people you can date is &q

When you buy a book you are buying an implementation of a story. And a company paid for the right to produce the implementations in that form, which is what you're covering in the purchase. When you purchased a book it didn't give

In my defence I did not pay for those components :) These were companies seeking my endorsement, and I like to put such components to use in the way I enjoy rather than the way they hope.

Having been dumb enough to use ceramic bearings in a BMX bottom bracket, and in the hubs of a mountain bike... I would not purchase this system. The replacement rate for those bearings would be astonishing.

A product owned by Amazon would be the bottom of my list. I have concerns with how Amazon love to collect data, mine data, use it to find new profit areas. Applying this logic to Ring produces not-nice outcomes.

It should have been a POST. Idempotency and implications for which operations can be cached is why. GETs are cacheable, but if a PIN can change so can the answer. This is an authentication action, and it should have been POST.

Oh wow. That's worse than accidental logging. Engineers should know the GET params get logged fairly routinely and shouldn't be used for anything sensitive.

You can read in the announcement the need to update the app, meaning it was the app that logged the PIN and this led to internal logging. I love Monzo, but one thing that does concern me greatly are banking apps (or any apps that touch high

When you take out any subscription, you should always create an event in your calendar that is the last date that you can cancel before renewal. Takes seconds to do and saves a lot of money down the line.
