The hate comes from little inaccuracies that have caused hours of stress and confusion. It is probably not as bad now but I recall getting pretty frustrated after spending hours debugging only to find out the docs were wrong.

I thought they had a ton of debt, largely for their new offices? Did that change?

Unless you just don't shower and/or shave.

I work from home. I don't need effort and products to look like I just woke up.

If someone barfs in the taxi (which I think is quite common tbh) it may not be visible to the camera even if they wipe it up.

In either case, that car still smells like barf until it is really cleaned.

Pretty sure if I got in a car that was full of barf while on my way to the airport I would stay in the car (and probably barf a bit myself, too).

Look at the cost a different way: your data is clearly important and you just saved having to hire an ops person to help manage it part-time.

I get that this isn't reality though. Once you provision something the amount of maintenance is minimum if done well.

Probably about 100ms or more on each request (to and from). Slower depending on location and network conditions.

I'm convinced this is how some of the payment gateways make their money.

With one gateway after we switched providers and took the interface out of production we received about 5 fraudulant payments in the month that followed. Someone had hacked the bank's "iframe" service that we did not use and even though we only had the account open for a potential rollback we were still liable for $20 x 5 in fees. It was entirely the bank's fault.

A credit card is insured. I am not sure I can say the same about the mandatory connction between Paypal and my bank account. It is much riskier to use Paypal than to give a stranger your cc number.

"Being on the right path" doesn't mean that long-term this is a responsible party for steering democracy.

It isn't the answer you're looking for but it is all that comes to mind: Drudge.

They're too busy changing the icons and adding border-radius to everything. Don't you know it took them 6 weeks to change the star button into a heart? They are very proud of it! /s

So the feature is explicitly for security? Security feature.

It is security for the user, not for the server. It is still security.
