Let's start with an example; suppose your employer uses an AI system to analyze employee data and make decisions about hiring and promotion. In that case, there's a chance it could use your race or gender as one of its criteria features for making those decisions. If this happens without your knowledge or consent, especially if you don't agree with how they're being used, then there could be legal implications for both the company and the employees. This problem has been at least partially addressed by restricting access to certain types of sensitive information like faces and gender while still allowing access through other channels such as text search terms or GPS coordinates. However, these solutions still don't fully solve all privacy concerns since there will always be ways around them.

Are you looking to add a product question and answer section in WooCommerce?
Adding a Q&A section enables customers to ask questions about the product before buying it, and see the questions and answers of other customers. This helps recover abandoned cart sales and improve customer engagement in your store, and reduce support requests.
In this article, we’ll show you how to easily add product questions and answers in WooCommerce.
Why Should You Add Product Q&A in WooCommerce
You may have noticed the product question-and-answer section on popular eCommerce websites like Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and more.
Adding a product questions and answers section allows customers to ask questions about a product right there on the product page.
You or your customers can then answer that question and it becomes visible to all other new customers who may have the same question in mind.
Over a period of time, your product page will have its own frequently asked questions section, which will help increase sales and reduce abandoned cart rates.
Adding a question and answers section to your online store also allows you to curate user-generated content which improves your WooCommerce product search rankings.
That being said, let’s see how you can easily add product questions and answers to WooCommerce.
Upon activation, go to the YITH » License Activation page and enter your license key. You can find this information under your account on the plugin website.
Don’t forget to click on the Activate button after entering your license key.
Next, you need to go to the YITH » Questions and Answers page to configure plugin settings.
From here you need to scroll down to the ‘Question Approval’ option and simply toggle the switch to ‘Yes’.
Once you do that, the questions on the product pages will have to be approved by an administrator before they are displayed on your WooCommerce store.
Next, you need to scroll to the ‘Show on Product Tabs’ option.
Here, you need to toggle the switch to ‘Yes’ so that the plugin will automatically add a ‘Questions and Answers’ section to product pages.
After that, don’t forget to click the ‘Save Options’ button to store your changes.
Now, you need to switch to the ‘Advanced Settings’ tab.
From here, simply toggle the ‘Vote Question’ switch to ‘Yes’ if you want to allow users to vote on product questions.
Next, you can choose if you want to get an email notification once a question is submitted on your website.
Simply select the ‘Notification in HTML Email’ option from the dropdown menu next to the ‘New question notification’ field.
Similarly, you can also choose the ‘Notification in HTML Email’ option in the ‘New answer notification’ field if you want to receive an email once a question is answered on your site.
Your user can also receive a notification once the question submitted by them is answered.
To enable this, you need to toggle the switch next to the ‘User Notification’ option to ‘Yes’.
After that, you can review other settings. The default options would work for most websites but you can change them if needed.
Finally, don’t forget to click on the ‘Save Options’ button to save your changes.
You can now visit your website to see the Questions & Answers section appear on your product pages.
From here, your customers can submit their questions.
Moderating Questions and Adding Answers
You will receive an email notification for new questions submitted by the users. You can also view them by visiting the Questions & Answers » All discussion page.
You can sort entries here by ‘Content not approved’ or ‘Unanswered Questions’.
You can also take your mouse over a question and click ‘Approve’ to make it live.
To add an answer to a question, you can simply click on the ‘Edit’ link below that question. On the edit screen, scroll down to the ‘Your Answer’ section to answer the question.
Repeat the process if you have more unanswered questions.
This is how the product questions and answers section looked on our demo store.
2. Adding a Product Q&A Section Using a Free Plugin
If you want to use a free plugin to add a product Q&A section to your WooCommerce store, then this method is for you.
Upon activation, click the Product Q&A menu from the WordPress admin sidebar which will direct you to the ‘Product Q&A Settings’ page.
From here, simply check the ‘Load More’ option if you want to add a ‘load More’ button to your product Q&A section.
Adding this button will allow customers to load older questions and reduces the page load time if a product gets a ton of questions.
Next, you need to choose a page size.
This means that you need to select a default number of questions that are shown in your Q&A section.
All the other questions will be hidden from view. Users will be able to access those questions after clicking the ‘Load More’ button.
You can also change the text used for the ‘Load More’ button to anything you like. For instance, you can call it ‘Load more questions’.
Next, you need to choose a layout for your product Q&A section from the dropdown menu next to the ‘Layout’ option.
You can choose the ‘Normal’ option if you want to display the Q&A section in paragraphs.
On the other hand, you can also display your questions as an Accordion menu. This means users will need to click on a question to view the answer.
Once finished, don’t forget to click the Submit button at the bottom to save your settings.
Managing Product Question and Answers
After plugin configuration, simply visit any product page on your store. You’ll notice a new Q&A tab added there.
Clicking on it will display the ‘Q&A’ section where customers can submit their questions.
You will receive an email notification when a user submits a question.
Now, to answer customer questions, you need to go to the Products » All Products page from the WordPress admin dashboard.
From here, simply click the ‘Edit’ button under a product to open up its’ ‘Edit Product’ page.
Next, you need to scroll down to the ‘Product Data’ section and click the ‘Q&A’ tab from the left column.
Here, all the questions submitted on that specific product’s page will be displayed.
Now, you need to simply type the answer to a customer query in the ‘Answer’ field.
If you want to delete a question because it’s inappropriate or irrelevant to your product, then you can also do that by clicking the Delete icon on the right corner of each question.
You can also uncheck the ‘Approve’ option if you don’t want to display the question on the product page.
After you have answered the product questions, go to the top of the page and click the ‘Update’ button to save your changes.
Now, you can visit the product page to see the Questions and Answer section in action.

One of the most frequent integration questions we hear from SaaS teams is, "Which integrations should we build first?"
This question often arises as they start with our embedded integration platform (since it substantially increases how quickly they can launch new integrations). Still, it's relevant no matter how you build integrations to the other products your customers use.
Radial gradients do represent a bit of a leap up in complexity compared to linear gradients in CSS. With linear gradients, you sorta pick a direction and plop some stops on there. The default direction, to bottom, you don’t even have to include if that’s the direction you want, and two color stops with no additional values just mean “all the way at the top to all the way at the bottom”. Something like this linear-gradient(darkblue, blue).
Good news: radial gradients do maintain making most parameters optional, so radial-gradient(darkblue, blue) is still functional and half-decently-useful. But the complexity goes up from there.
Radial gradients need to be told to behave like a circle if that’s the shape you want, not the default ellipse.
You can tell a radial gradient where to stop, before you even get to the color stops.
You can choose a starting position for the radial gradient, it doesn’t have to be dead center.
There are keywords that tell radial gradients to extend to certain relevant points of the container, like closest-side and furthest-corner and such.
There is no built-in way to generate a random number in CSS. Maybe there should be, as there are countless demos that use some other technology to feed random numbers into CSS. The use case is often generative art or decorative effects, but there is so much of that and the results can be so cool, it’s almost shame we don’t have it. So what do we do to get random numbers in CSS?
We use the random function in a CSS processor (e.g. random() works in Sass) — but then it’s only random at build time.
We use a random number created in JavaScript, then set a --custom-property with it. Maybe even Houdini.
We use user input somehow to make a value feel random.
Kacper Kula’s Randomness in CSS kinda gets into all three of those. He uses a hand-built random number generator in Sass based on prime numbers. The @property syntax is used to ensure a custom property is an integer and is sometimes used as a seed that comes in via JavaScript.
This article showcases optimization techniques that had great results at GitGuardian. You’ll find basic and advanced optimization techniques using Django and PostgreSQL, yet most of the principles we discuss are general enough to be applied to other frameworks or relational databases. However, a basic understanding of database transactions and how ORMs work is necessary to get the most out of it.
But don’t believe me, test them yourself! We provide a fully functional Django Playground where you can run all the queries shown in this article. Here it is.
