:nsacloud:
The large amounts of money and sophistication involved are the reason it's interesting. Different numbers are required to prove user engagement depending on what level your organization is operating at. Culling the bots and non-revenue-generating users has been a thing for a long time.

So in the early days of the internet it was page views, and then people got hip to that and it became uniques. Then it became uniques per some time frame and then it eventually was pared down to, "well prove your demo is white millenials with fuckoff disposable income that possess Visa or MasterCards"

What level you need to prove engagement at is just a function of which advertisers your organization is targetting. This thing seems to have found a niche to arbitrage for a while.

apparently passing a single quote is fine, but the moment a double quote is passed, all hell breaks loose.

Payment processors seem to enjoy making it difficult to integrate with them. SagePay will enforce elaborate field requirements via the medium of vague error messages in times new roman instead of displaying an html form containing the submitted values, which is literally what it does upon a successful submission anyway. If you then type invalid data into that form they display a nice warning to the user, but oh no if invalid data comes through initially you can eat a dick. Go re-implement every arbitrary validation rule in your own code just so they can re-run it all again at their end anyway.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

this is why i giggled when someone noticed theres more trans women than cis women in yospos. its because you cant get into the club without pretending to be a man for a while first.

the problem is a lot of people think they're being fair but wind up biasing their opinions on the code based on their subconscious assumptions about the person. the same thing happens with resumes with "black-sounding" names, and even people who consider themselves to not be biased and who thought they were evaluating based solely on the content wound up rejecting more often just based on the name.

e: not the problem in this case this just sounds like a straight-up MRA dickbag, I mean the problem in general with that kind of "we're a meritocracy!" outlook
