I wonder if they've started handing SPF or DMARC misalignment differently. I've noticed a lot of those kinds of problems with newsletter-type mail in the past.

That's about the 3 series, which matches my experience better. A 3 series is a much cheaper car than the Model S (or 7 Series or S Class). I have no doubt that people who had 3 Series are now considering Teslas, and much credit to Tesl

I'd be very curious to see actual data about this. I'm not sure one way or the other. Most of the Model S owners I know are people who previously would not have considered buying a car in that price range, so they weren't rea

That's a very interesting observation. It hadn't occurred to me before, but I do think there's some truth in that for me as well.

I find that an eInk Kindle is "close enough" to a paper book in terms of immersion for me. But reading on my iPad (or even worse, computer) definitely is not. I get notifications, there's always the temptation to jump out and

The planning part is what you're missing. If I order from Whole Foods, I have to decide what to order. If I sign up for Blue Apron, they decide for me. Exactly what I need, no more and no less, shows up on my door weekly. No thinking r

I don't think "the final interview" means a single person. I took it to mean the onsite round, with however many people that entails, skipping the recruiter screen, phone screen, etc.

"High quality" and "high price" are about the last thing I think of in relation to JC Penney and Sears. I've always thought of them as kind of lowest common denominator, lots of private label poor quality stuff that

I use Shoprunner where it's supported, because I get it for free with Amex. My experience is that it's not as good as Prime. Prime is supposed to give you free delivery in 2 days. Shoprunner is supposed to give you free 2-day ship

The Libre only gives you a reading when you manually check it, right? Or did I misunderstand that? I wouldn't want to lose the low/high/rate of change alerts the Dexcom gives. Even if you're sleeping, it'll wake you

Angie's List used to be awesome. When we bought our current house, we needed an array of professionals for various services, and we hired all of them via Angie's List reviews. Every single one was great. We have found that having

My life is much better when I optimize for convenience instead of saving money when the money is in the "handful of dollars" range. And yes, never again having to think about having to buy a routine item is convenient. It seems pa

Some people who fly for business are FORCED to choose the cheapest option (sometimes cheapest "logical" option, but the definition of "logical" is about no ridiculous routing, not legroom or seat comfort). The classic di

Another nice thing about RAW on the iPhone is that I've found the iPhone's built-in noise reduction to often be significantly too aggressive. I can get a lot more detail out, without objectionable noise, by carefully tweaking the

It's market segmentation. Most of the traveling public is cheapskates who will buy the lowest fare they see, no matter the consequences. This is an option for those who aren't purely driven by budget to pay for a better experience

I wonder if kids are harder on the dexcom sensor or something? I have a family member with the G5, and it works well. Not perfect by any means, but a lot better than what you're describing.

I have a paid United Club membership. Those lounges are already pretty full a lot of the time, and one of the biggest reasons I (and many of the other members I know) pay for it is exactly the situation you describe. When something goes wro

The agents at the lounges are United employees. Usually much better and more helpful employees than those st the gate, which is one reason I find it worth paying about $500 a year for a membership. When things get messed up, they can fix it

I think you worked in a crappy team, because I was there for nearly a decade, and I didn't find that to be the case.

LOL. Yup. I'm an idiot.

[Edited because I'm dumb and can't count figures] I've mostly seen this kind of thing happen because some engineer(s) wanted to try an idea, not because it was imposed from above.

The flip side perspective of this is that end users are forever plagued with poorly-performing/behaving software, because developers favor their convience over user experience by continually moving on to new technologies before they&#x

I know this wasn't your point (and I completely agree with what you're saying), but I actually find Santa Monica to be one of the easiest places to visit in LA, because they have a bunch of reasonably cheap city-run parking garage

Are you in the US? I've never been in a salaried role in a US tech company that has a contract. And as a salaried employee who has worked at a bunch of companies, I've always enforced a good work/life balance for myself, and

I agree. I've worked at a number of big name tech companies and smaller companies, and I always unplug from work email when I'm on vacation. It's not an issue, you just have to do it. If it is an issue where you work, I encou

You mean an actual PO Box? At a post office? Or a private mailbox, like at a UPS Store? If the former, this is really surprising. If the latter, not as much. Anyway, I set this up for my house and it has been working fine. I haven't go

For me as well. Sometimes I go through periods where I stay up too late, and I almost always end up feeling depressed after a few days of it.

Made worse by the fact that non-technical people DO make such errors with some frequency. I don't know how many times I've seen someone's email address as "www.joe@example.com" or "joe@example," even on pr

It's much like the real estate business (in the US, at least). There are a handful of people who can do extremely well, and then a long tail who think it looks like easy money but end up making very little.
