No, if u keep changing frequently!

a little help to bypass tracking by fingerprinting

- use incognito to avoid trackers

- use proxy / vpn

- resize your window if you are still scared

I got 0.5/6

and still it says "Your burnout risk is HIGH"

I feel, it was because of little high Self-inefficacy.

I experimented with different answers, once I got 0.6/6 and it said: "Your burnout risk is MID", but for that Self-inefficacy was LOW.

It seems like Self-inefficacy has been taken as a high factor for Burnout.

they mentioned in the introduction only.

"we decided to give up external caches like Redis, Memcached or Couchbase mainly because of additional time needed on the network"

reason: additional time needed on the network.

there are many scenarios in which you will want to consider in-mem cache of the application, one scenario is very low latency requirements.

OK. I don't know about how much developer take in Ukraine. But my comparison was from US.

Since there's a lot of investment going on, by startups and giants like Google, Apple, Amazon etc who are hiring a lot in India, it is difficult to get good devs easily because devs will see few things even before trying for interview,like

1. Company's product and how it aligns with their perspective 2. Brand 3. Monetary value

(not in any order)

And these companies will keep on paying large amount of money because it will still be cheaper than what they pay in US. These giants will give a brand recognition. And as we all know, these companies have amazing/challenging work too.

So smart talent gets occupied and is hard to snatch from such giants.

:O Just checked this. I knew about AliPay but never bothered to check the valuation.

Thanks for this perspective.

I think CRED is also doing the same.

It is still cheaper than hiring in US.

Even if you pay half the amount you pay avg (let's say 60K USD) in US, that will be very very good amount for an Indian living in India (30K USD/year is very good for living in India).

So, if you expect good work and don't want to pay even the amount which is equivalent to what an entry-level developer in US might get, then you will never get good developers.

> burning cash like anything Burning to acquire end-user (in terms of number). Not to gain loyalty, that's the sad part.

Zomato is locked to food & restaurants. See Swiggy, they have not locked themselves and expanded to many other Supply chain related businesses

Oyo, is like WeWork :)

> Online businesses that use "Pay with PhonePe" links have to pay commission

Can you please share, any relevant or merchant integration link which says about transaction charges.

I don't think there are transactional charges, at least in beginning (I have not digged deep) but saying as per UPI.

UPI service is directly by banks (and government) (transfer from user's bank to merchant's bank without intermediary).

I can understand that very small transaction fees can be levied in future because PhonePe, Gpay may provide more business to these merchants as their user base grows.

Why I am saying very small? Unlike dispute resolution in PayPal kind of platform (which holds money) here it is much difficult to provide similar resolution to end-user, as payment is directly done to merchant.

But. It is B-2-B and B-2-B is mostly driven by trust, loyalty and partnerships, unlike end-users in India who runs after app providing new offer(s).

Such B-2-B business can change the end-user behaviour in terms of loyalty. So that may be it. But there are so many apps for same payment interface, and I can imagine that there can be just an app which helps merchant receive payment from end-user without any additional fees (0.0000).

I think the current situation of India is similar and can be compared to the DotCom bubble of '90s (in US). In Bengaluru it is said that, in almost every home you will find one CEO of a startup.

I might be wrong but just thinking out loud.

For example: PhonePe app - It's just a payment transfer app by Flipkart (although it is much better than GPay, in terms of usage speed) - its current valuation is around 7-8B+ USD. I don't get the much reason. There are no intermediary charges as PhonePe uses UPI Payment Interface (https://www.npci.org.in/product-overview/upi-product-overvie...)

If someone is not able to read article because Bloomberg asks for premium fees, then don't miss out to check out their HTML ;)

and so 97 VPN products may fall under single digit organizations, big one being NSA!

Scheduled maintenance for more than 12 hour? Sounds like something is way too wrong!

I am curious to understand what can take so much long time? and wouldn't there be a better strategy (i.e., without downtime) for maintenance?

Does anybody noticed that there are two brighter areas (not just one) in bottom part of the image.

One at approx 8PM and one at approx 5-6PM (if seen as clock)

There's a difference between Signed out, and Incognito (no cookies)!

+ People generally tend to miss the point that Incognito doesn't prevent sharing the IP of the user.

+ I think DuckDuckGo's study missed out using VPN in their analysis. i.e., SignedIn vs Incognito vs (Incognito+VPN)

All humans are different - psychologically. So, same psychological trick may not work with everyone.

& sometimes, it also depends on the type of work

I think:

* Most devs are at least full stack

* Most apps now-a-days interact directly/indirectly with browser

* Attributing this problem to frontend devs without understanding why CORS and issues in handling that, makes you unaware of security issues with your backend services.

FYI: I am a backend developer.
