Maybe finding this out was the point of the task? IOW, part of the interview... if you find the exploit you pass, if not fail. Just theorizing.

IDK what the fee schedule looks like but you'd think they'd take a play from governments and make the commissions progressive. In other words, the more money a developer makes, the more fees they pay. That way there's better

Sweet. I think you're making a good move. Best to own the kernel of your infrastructure... then rely on cloud services as growth allows. That's why I went through this exercise a couple of years ago: https://news.ycombi

Yeah, it's a big world and it has a clever way of getting what it wants. On a serious note I'd say you'll just have to balance your design w/ what people are willing to pay for. You probably know this already though :-)

I see. I'll have to read the marketing more closely next time, lol. The cynic in me only notices the detection rate comparisons, which I'm sure the marketing folks don't mind much ;-)

Can you comment on the notion that Turnstile's primary goal isn't to keep bots out 100% but instead to slow them down to "human" speeds. Asking because as a dev I hate when sites don't allow bots... however can appr

Forget the speculation and aesthetic/subjective judgments for a moment. My point is they have to do something with users who free ride on their system. They decided to give them an ultimatum. And, this sounds like a reasonable design d

Their design decisions aren't as bad as you think. You just haven't come to terms with how the "free" internet works yet.

Sorry, your concern doesn't compile. You're worried about losing your domain and instead you've decided to worry about losing your address on someone else's domain? Sounds to me like you're not fixing anything but j

by reliefcrew 10mo ago
I'd say the correct answer is, as usual, "it depends". If the "coming soon" message is framed as a marketing tease and the features are indeed delivered as they've been promised then I don't see a problem.
