I'm just always surprised when people place their entire phone over the code, thinking it needs to fill the screen, when they scan pretty well from a couple feet away.

I agree, but multiple people can scan a QR code simultaneously.

Ha, amazing and so nostalgic

This is awesome and timely for me...going to give it a whirl. Thanks for building. Also, there should totally be an easter egg where clicking something somewhere plays the sound!

Wipr has been pretty reliable for me on iOS. I know digital advertising has helped support many web innovations but it's just getting brutal out there.

I've noticed people often research products, services, medical issues/ailments, etc. using Google (or similar). When they start seeing related ads on social media, they tend to attribute more to having discussed the topic out loud, forgetting about the searches they made from the same device or IP address.

Hm, I thought other methods could be used to establish causation, such as longitudinal cohorts, RCTs, and (another randomization I'm forgetting), that wouldn't require infecting humans, but maybe I'm confusing these

Headlines always get me. Correlation identified, but not causation.

Curious why the post has two hyperlinks to the WP Engine domain, and additionally without rel="nofollow", if they despise them so much. Isn't that WordPress essentially passing SEO link juice to WP Engine?

Ah, confused this one with that. Thx for the heads-up.

Seconding this. It's free to create accounts at the 3 agencies (Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian) and place an indefinite freeze until you need to apply for credit in the future.

Sometimes people sit on the data in these breaches for years before using it, after the dust has settled, assuming people have since let their guard down.

Unfortunately, it's also worth noting that you typically opt into allowing these agencies to sell your data during signup, so after be sure to comb through the privacy policies for opt-out links and submit requests to prevent the agencies from sharing your data with third parties for marketing offers, etc.

See my top-level comment. I went through this process and the confirmation message seems to indicate it does perform a deletion vs. a deactivation.

Strange, do you have any browser security extensions, aggressive cookie-blocking, or something similar? I was able to complete the process (see my comment below). I'm using Brave with ad blockers. The "deactivate" language is pretty misleading, but after entering account credentials, it did seem to delete the account completely.

This is pretty shocking. I never use Glassdoor anyway, so deleted my account after reading. Worth noting that going to Settings only shows a button that says "Deactivate account", which seems misleading. Following this process does show a modal at the end that says "Account Deleted Confirmation. You have successfully deleted your account.", so seems like this is actually deletion vs. deactivation.
