Even worse, I've seen the JetBrains AI auto-complete insert hard-to-spot bugs, like two nested for loops with i and j for loop index variables, where the inner loop was fairly complex and incorrectly used i instead of j in one place.

> The first class passengers are effectively paying 3x as much

3x? If only! If we're talking international first class (not US domestic "first"), it's typically 10-12x the price of economy.

GMail disagrees with you, because GMail users disagree with you. They are clicking "report spam" on your emails. Whether or not you think what you're sending is spam, the recipients think it is, and that's what matters. (Based on the other comments in this thread it's not hard to see why they might think so.)

Perhaps a stupid question, but why do notifications need to be stored in a database in persistent storage at all?

OK, maybe they can be stored until they're dismissed in case the battery suddenly dies, so they can be displayed again on next boot and are not lost, but it sounds like they are being stored long after they are dismissed.

> Ironically, the good clients pay within 2-3 days normally, and the difficult ones are very “long tail”.

Why ironically? Isn't that exactly what you'd expect?

There have been so many cases of Apple, Google, etc. doing this that it's hard to have any sympathy for them at this point. If it was some grandma who didn't know better that would be another story, but the author was surely aware

  - that Apple *can* always *just* disable their account
  - that Apple regularly *does* do that
  - that Apple does not care about them at all

and they chose to bet their entire digital life on Apple's benevolence anyway. They lost that bet.

We need more stories like this hitting the mainstream news until even a non-technical person's reaction to this is "well, what did you expect?"

The number of monsters on the screen doesn't seem to affect playing speed for me, but when the wall of fire appears it slows down the game very noticeably. (Using Firefox on desktop.)
