Yep I got 2 on Jan 9th. he e-mails come from security@mail.instagram.com

I also get a bunch of these e-mails from them every few weeks:

Sorry to hear you’re having trouble logging into Instagram. We got a message that you forgot your password. If this was you, you can get right back into your account or reset your password now.

So, I guess you can actually message them, pretend to another user to rese password? I don't follow many people or have many followers. I can't imagine the attempts on other higher valued accounts...

I dont like privatized highways or HOV, but...people still have toll roads? Georgia and Florida and surrounding states have electronic passes and pay by toll if you dont have that.

I have thrown coins into a bucket in at least 15 years.

"electronic passes"

"pay by toll"

These are still toll roads, just a more modern iteration. Toll road ≠ physical cash

I liked the coin bucket because there was a skill about how an efficient driver could toss the change into it without even stopping.

Are you calling out Microsoft specifically or just in general any big tech company? Because Google can do this with Google sheets using Apps Script.

Or their online groceries didnt succeed because people can p4ice shop. I am of the belief Kroger does well because they obfuscate their prices and their tags which make it seems like they are sales truely are not.

Unlike Publix if I see a discount I know it is a discount. Every other item in Kroger has a yellow tag and a red price to make you think you are getting a deal when in fact the red number is higher than regular price at normal stores.

One of the reasons I kind of gave up on deliveries after COVID was the the experience of having a friendly but slightly rushed bloke clearly politely itching to get on to the next stop turn up at some random time in the evening (it's booked to a slot but the variance was large). Then he holds your door open and either helps you unload it watches you unload a bunch of randomly packed loose items from a large handful of his plastic crates, some with a single item in them, as fast as possible into laundry baskets in the hallway so you can transfer it to the right place at leisure. That was actually somehow really annoying to me.

Tesco used to use plastic box liners which you doing just hoick out, but those were quickly stopped due to bring plastic.

I'd rather they just handed over the crates or something and I could return them for a deposit the next time. Obviously I'd also rather all the supermarkets could share the same crates so I don't have to babysit piles of each brand separately.

Maybe Ocado have a better system then Tesco here?

Ocado (at least in the UK) pack items into plastic bags inside the crates, which makes unloading easier at the doorstep.

You are charged for the bags (in the UK you have to charge 5p for plastic bags) but are refunded when you return them (during a later delivery).

It’s a great convenience though, we’ve been using it over a year now and it solved most of the bulk purchases, we then visit the store for other detailed items and get done quickly.

> Or their online groceries didnt succeed because people can p4ice shop.

Ocado does just fine though, and are rarely the cheapest choice.

What are "normal stores"? For me, Ralphs (Kroger), Stater Bros and Whole Foods are the main available (what I think of as) "normal" grocery stores, and of the three anything on sale at Ralphs is sure to be the cheapest of the three.

The only person who doesn't have a degree listed is co-founder/CEO Alexander Karp. He has a BS, JD and a PhD.

This is correct. I have been in situations where I am told the cash price and then "I cant tell you how much it will be with your insurance". Come to find out cash was A LOT cheaper. They cant undo it.

I have also been in a situation where insurance price was cheaper.

Thereinlies the problem..without know the price people CANNOT make an informed decision. There is no freemarket. This done on purpose and only happens in America.

I would really hope for this to be a thing. I have high suspicion of which ones are due to degradation of quality...but if I'm going to switch to another provide I'd like to know before hand if they are PE or not.

My exams had both per question. Pseudo code then actual code.

This was early 2000s, Java.

There's going to be so much vibe coding to clean up, that I'm gonna have a fever and the only prescription is, more vibe coding! (throwback to SNL More Cowbells skit...)

On a serious note, can't wait to see what salaries I command as a senior dev in a few years...when junior dev pipeline dried up and other older seniors left the industry.

American airports are inefficient. Unless you're flying from a rural airport, expect long security lines. Even with TSA precheck it can take 30 minutes. I also recently found out it is not always open (only during core hours).

Also we don't have good mass transportation. If you're in EU, Asia you can take a train and be pretty certain you'll get there on time (barring a big event). In the US...a crash on the interstate can wreck your day. A sporting event can cause huge traffic jams on the main arterial road. So I to leave my house early enough for the 2/3 hour "before the flight" to pad for that.

My recent international flights were out of Mexico, London, Hong Kong and security lines are short. I was expecting some kind of secondary check point (Having said that I recall flying out of Toronto and it was like Disney world line)

A lot of US airport inefficiency is self-inflicted:

1. no transit terminals so everyone has to do full immigration

2. no international one-stop-security, so every international arrival with a connection (except those pre-cleared) have to redo it

UK airports are also guilty of #2
