Thanks for asking. I found the idea to be an unethical dark pattern, so I made my point, but in companies like these, it’s not enough. So I implemented a light experiment of what was asked, and it validated my hypothesis: it was not solving a real need and was actually not even improving revenue, and that it was indeed leading to a poorer user experience. Since the request was really pushed top down, I still had to move on with so I limited it to the specific population where it would make more money. Who has the most money to spend in cheaper countries? US tourists going to Latin America. Let’s make it more expensive for Americans to stay in a Colombian hotel than for a local. It pleased the small hotel owners, had a positive impact on local tourism… good enough.
Then I moved to a different team and they threw away my work went full on and delivered the whole shit.

I’d like to see all the data about Airbnb. My knowledge of Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Rome tells a different story.
- Comment on We live in the future! 1 week ago:
years ago, a big boss of an evil hotel company I worked was doing a AMA and got asked “where do we draw the line on ethics?”. His answer was “at the end of the day, if you don’t feel comfortable telling your mother what you did today, then don’t do it” I loved this answer and used this very often.
Then a few months later, he directly made us work on the dirtiest geopricing / yelding features I ever saw. I guess the real question to ask during that day was “where do your mother draw the line on ethics?”

I like the idea of watching Robert de Niro and Al Pacino in this absolute classic while enjoying a stream of fresh air, and 171 minutes of autonomy is pretty nice. But I don’t see where the DVD should be inserted.
- Comment on France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials 4 weeks ago:
I doubt that there are significant development teams at the DINUM. They coordinate projects but do not build anything. On LinkedIn, here are the main skills associated with the company: Image

- Comment on France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials 4 weeks ago:
Every 2-3 years, the French government announces that they released a brand new homemade app that will replace some bigtech because sovereignty or whatever bureaucratic bullshit communication they fancy at the moment. Then they issue a BIG contract to an IT consulting company to develop the thing, who get tons of money to send junior devs to release a buggy tool that no one will ever use because migrations cost a lot. This new app will die like the others.

I frown at people eating kale mixed in mashed potatoes or calling white bread with peanut butter a lunch.
Joke aside, the Dutch like good food and are way more open to other cuisines than most European countries.

- Comment on gabe³ half-life 3 confirmed 3 months ago:
I’m not an expert but I wanted to build my own gaming mini-PC. I followed this guide step by step, which was super useful because they were giving useful tips to make sure everything fits and works correctly: techbuyersguru.com/…/building-a-small-form-factor… (they update the config each month so the current guide is very different from 5 years ago) But, in retrospective, I think I should have gone for a bigger case because there is basically no other GPU that can fit this case anymore.

Anybody going there to test “how bad it is” is giving them traffic, which they can use to brag about its success. Personally, I’d rather completely ignore it and disregard whoever mention it one day as a source, which will never happen hopefuly.
- Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported? 3 months ago:
Berlin wall for sure. Earlier major events like Tchernobyl, famine in Ethiopia or the death of Coluche (iconic French comedian, pretty big thing in France), I mostly remember my parents reaction and discussions at home.

- Comment on Ok, boomer 3 months ago:
I’m 45, so not a boomer but already too old to get any respect from people in their 30’s (90% of my colleagues for example). Simply speaking about something they didn’t experience (reading a map, installing an OS, meeting the love of your life without a dating app…) gets me a “Ok Boomer” each time so what do I do? I just shut the fuck up. I’m not worried, they’ll be in my position very quickly.
