I am really excited for this. Once going home with my family via Uber in SFO we realized on the freeway that our driver was high and driving at 80-85 mph.
It was a really scary experience and I couldn’t do much about it in the moment.
They need to make it eligible for Class Action lawsuits to be filed if these are ignored. I wrote a script to routinely test opt out on websites and was stunned to see almost 50% had it implemented incorrectly. This includes high-flying tech companies that went public recently.
Under California’s CCPA / CPRA, most enforcement power lies with the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and the California Attorney General, not private individuals. This limits the actual downside to a company vs. an unbounded downside of class-action lawsuit threat.
Like many things where what constitutes base data changes and hence graphs change pretty radically, this can be cleanly explained by diagnostic drift. Here's a detailed breakdown: https://www.cremieux.xyz/p/how-to-end-the-autism-epidemic
The reason isn't technical. This isn't implemented because the entire card-processing ecosystem is hooked on the chargeback fees (min $15 to $100). It starts becoming a lucrative revenue stream for Visa/Mastercard/Stripe/Adyen/WorldPay/Fiserv and the entire ecosystem.
Merchant's end up getting the short end of the stick in most cases.
It is quite popular in testing circles to write e2e tests that are easier to maintain.
However, in practice I have found it to be quite useless due to the time it takes to write good page objects. QA teams usually rely on a complete POM before writing tests on it. I used to joke that by the time my team was done shipping a page object model, our product team would have changed the entire product again.
I used to be in-charge of homepage getting over 1.5M views a day. I would really be curious how this converts. I am assuming Posthog has a lot of metrics.
If I were to bet, while this is fun, it will be a disaster for conversions once the launch hype goes away.
