cash back to the user is a cut of the affiliate revenue/commission they get for the sale. this is commonly how all third party ecommerce cash back programs work (honey, klarna, etc.)

the video explains how honey has the same thing but the cut they give you seems to be tiny - like less than a dollar to users for a $30 commission for them as one example.

i dont know if this is common practice or not but i'm not a user of these extensions personally.

how do you think rakuten cash back works

not sure if that's correct - i think the user has to click on something in the honey popup for them to overwrite the affiliate cookie. outright stealing everything would be too brazen and would probably get noticed by competing programs like rakuten.

however they insert themselves in the checkout page and offer measly honey points in the form of cash back as a cut of the commission they'd get.

there are stand down rules in the affiliate marketing space where you're not supposed to show your popup if someone has already claimed attribution of a purchase but i've heard many extensions don't follow these well.

I kind of like this idea? There's too much toxicity in online gaming these days and yes I know it's always been around I'm old and have played online since Halo 2 but it seems like people get more tilted and angry these days than I remember.

I mainly play TFT now as I enjoy the strategy and RNG aspects of the game but even there you run into people who get mad at others for playing to win.

I usually gg at the end but half the time people will curse me out if I won or just say "ez" if they beat me.

firefox definitely had tabbed browsing and private mode before chrome was released.

pretty sure opera had tabbed browsing as well.

i just recall chrome being very minimal, clean and fast when it was first released. plus as kreeben said, Google was pretty revered at the time.

"...of which approximately two-thirds used it daily"

it's not insane tech but it's not like it's not being touched either.

why is shipping code more important than practicing leetcode though if your goal is to get a FAANG job?

if you're struggling to find even a non-FAANG job but no one wants to work with you - perhaps you aren't as good as you think you are at the things you've mentioned.

not trying to be hostile at all here, just giving you my honest take.

col in florida is so low though plus no state income tax right?

100k in orlando is like 220k in sf so you're probably doing alright.

Location is a factor but also tech salaries have seen tremendous continued growth over the last 20 years.

new grads are getting jobs at FAANGs out of college starting at 150-200k+ tc these days.

granted these are mostly in higher col areas - sf, seattle, nyc.

you just need to get a new job if you want to make more money, it's that simple.

in 2015 i had my first job as a junior engineer at a startup at 60k. over 3 years i worked my way up to a tech lead and 100k. not bad but i could've made more faster had i just switched companies sooner.

i finally started interviewing and got up to a 150k offer at another startup of the same size, same area - my current company valued me at 100k and this new company 150k.

a year later this startup was acquired and i negotiated my way into a 200k+ offer at the acquiring company - mostly because the bigger company was bigger and just paid more in general than my small startup company.

making more money isn't that closely tied to your job skills actually. it's tied to your interviewing skills and desire to get a job at a FAANG or similarly large tech company that pays high comps.

i'm not saying it's the easiest thing - the FAANG interviews are fairly hard and require quite a bit of prep. But if you really want it I'm sure you could do it - it's more about dedication, preparation and time than anything else.

rocket league is a competitive esport game, WoW is an ever-evolving MMO, and the Skate series are just the deepest skateboarding sims that exist I think.

Nothing wrong with continuing to play those type of games forever. I've been playing counter-strike for 20 years now. Some games just have endless play and replay value.

200k salary or total comp?

four years is a decent chunk of time im sure youve done fine since then dont beat yourself up over it - most startups arent really worth joining for the upside potential at IPO or acquisition anyway.

my main complaint is watching videos on desktop web or the mobile app - there's no way to control play/pause/scrubbing. you just have to sit through it and if you miss any of it, watch it again from the start.

same goes for tiktok i believe.

this isn't an issue with the mobile version of the website.

anyway, rant over - i hate mobile apps.

if you're gonna game on a Mac, i'd suggest installing windows via bootcamp. ime most games simply run better that way anyway and you don't have to deal with the issue of games that aren't MacOS compatible.

> I really hope something like TF2 resurfaces in some form again. I never liked the feel of Fortnite.
