That was my first reaction as well but I can't imagine all the potential fraud that takes place in these marketplace. As the market-maker, you are facilitating payments that are many multiples of the actual revenue, let along profit, y

Anti-flicker snippet is definitely the first step. Since this is a SPA and the flicker may be caused well past the point of the initial pageview, there may also be an issue with how the code is written and hooked into the SPA framework, in

This whole example seems like it boils down to a poor test/analysis plan than anything that truly speaks to the value of Bayesian approaches: 1) It's almost always a bad idea to decide a test based on one-week's worth of data

There is almost certainly a workaround with the flicker issue. I'm not sure I've ever encountered the second issue with screen width.

I'm not entirely sure what the point here is. You're calling A/B testing overrated because it doesn't involve UX designers? I'd agree that having some UX resources in test design is critical, so if that's being

Were small apartments of yesteryear more generous with their kitchen sizes? The parent comment said kitchens are getting smaller and smaller but I'm not sure if that's actually true. I lived in quite a few houses (middle / lo

If you listen to the anti-vax crowd, a lot of the push-back is because the vaccines are new, only had emergency-use authorization, no long-term studies, etc. This pill will fit into most of those objections as well. HCQ, ivermectin, and the

I think people like(d) Zoom because its core features were pretty simple to use. Yes, they do really weird stuff like having app settings that you can change in the app but account settings that you have to log in to your web account to cha

The risks of someone my age having serious COVID issues are rather low. I am also fully vaxxed on Pfizer and don't have major underlying health issues. I'm perfectly accepting of the any personal risk because the risks are extreme

Why should a person who is vaxxed worry about being around unvaxxed, unmasked people in public indoor settings that they’ve chosen to be in?

Because 65% of Ohio's adult population has chosen to receive vaccines and want to live normal lives because of it?

When Ohio released it's "breakthrough" dashboard, I thought it was misleading as well since it included all of 2021 and the vaccine wasn't available to all adults until mid-April or so. Because of that, I started recordi

This is still a big flaw in the hiring process. Much like standardized tests are meant to assess objective aptitude but invariably favor those who specifically prepare for the test, which diminishes their objectivity, these types of intervi

Artwork is commonly hung up as decorations in houses, offices, etc. You can also buy mass-produced artwork at stores that have zero collectible value, so the value of that is entirely intrinsic. I'm not sure looking at your Opensea col

Album shuffle seems like an extremely weird feature to me, almost on the same level of weirdness as linear playlists, except in "mixtape" use-cases.

A lot of things can fall under the "affiliate" umbrella but what we did was doing 1-on-1 deals with content providers who were acquiring a lot of relevant traffic. It was not promo code spamming.
