The rule and the fee are complete bullshit. 30% isn't even remotely viable. They should be charging equivalent to transaction fees, which would tally below 5%. Hopefully one day someone will find a law with which they can challenge the

It's about the scale of your app. If you are small fish, going to the press isn't going to accomplish anything. Spotify can afford to press the matter. What worse can Apple do to them? Remove their app from the store? Spotify can

Why do it on the client and not on the server? It's just an implementation decision. I would never bug someone for choosing either one over the other. Most implementations probably have issues with the employed algorithm, best not to w

Combining a password strength meter with password rules is the sort of thing where most implementations are going to get it wrong. It clutters up the UI a lot, to the point of being too complicated for "average" users to understan

It's no surprise to me that one would adapt over time. The article you link didn't mention any long-term study. I'd be curious to know how long it would take to replace one's vision to that of vertically or horizontally

It's less of a concern about an attacker gaining access to the log files, as it is that passwords should simply not be stored plaintext... anywhere . One doesn't really need to ask "why", it's just good common sens

by developer2 10y ago
The reason for using a server-side solution is for a password strength indicator. You need the full algorithm to run against the current entry, and every user-friendly implementation does this on every character input so you know when what

Mould is not like dirt that can just be rubbed off the product. If a package of strawberries has some mouldy berries in it, then that mould has already spread to its neighbours without being visible. All they're doing is repackaging

I find that so disappointing. Of course there are people already planning to rip resources out of the cosmos. Once you've left Earth barren, of course it makes sense to spread our destructive tendencies throughout the solar system &#x2

Percentage fees make absolutely no sense, and that is the end of the discussion. A flat fee regardless of the transaction amount is the only method that even registers as logical.
