  • I am glad that I never had to use it, but I have heard many complaints in my circle. The most common one being that it changes one core UI or workflow every fortnight.

    Imagine the plight of people who just want to get their work done and go home, only for them to see a tool critical to their work has automatically decided to update and now has a reshuffled UI.

    Cannot help but feel that there are too many product managers trying to make their mark on the product.





  • Looking at some of the news and discussion surrounding the game, it is clear that there are significant financial transactions involved.

    The game is also four years old, well beyond the stage of mere interest checks.

    It could be argued that the hack was carried out without a specific goal or knowledge of what data might be gained (as a display of hacking prowess, for instance). However, in this case, it’s clear why this particular game was targeted.

    Whether or not the users “deserved” it is a separate discussion; one where I would agree with you. Many of the people involved may have been too trusting or gullible in their investments.



  • I have gone through the links, and I still cannot find the answer to my question on what makes UPI “absolutely horrible when it comes to privacy” when compared to the other options in your original comment.

    I still maintain that all practical means of digital transactions are inherently poor for privacy, regardless of the channel/medium. One is not less private than the other.

    Of course, mediums like cryptocurrency exists which “promise” privacy while transacting. But they are not practical in India, and also do not operate at the scale of the options we are discussing about.

    Also, I really appreciate responding back with links, but a line directly answering my question would have saved some time, especially since the links you shared are irrelevant to our discussion. None of the links actually do a comparison of the options or even state that one is outright better than the other. If anything, some of the comments in the linked forum posts only echo what I am saying about the lack of privacy across all digital transactions.
