I'm glad I'm not the only one looking for a taxonomy of refugees from the great Cybertron wars

Saying they have taxi's in SF is a bit hyperbolic. I have an invite to that program and it's

- only after 10pm - used such an odd slice of the city I not only can't get picked up, it doesn't GO any where I go.

I would love to use either of these programs both for the novelty and because I think Autonomous driving is great, but I literally can't use the program I do have access to.

Seconding this.

And to compound this after doing a half ass job of what OP has done, I recently moved my custom google apps free domain to have a second reception domain i use JUST for this with a `.email` TLD (side note: the amount of tools that don't see modern TLD's as valid is enraging)>

I made the (maybe poor) choice of donating to political campaigns before the last US election using these emails

- `Biden-campaign@` - `democrats@` - `<specific local race@`

All of those I've had to unsubscribe from about 2-3 dozen total OTHER email lists as those emails are literally sold/given out to other campaigns. the biden one being the worst.

Also if you have your own business you'll start getting solicitations, LOTS of solicitations. And god forbid your email is on an old resume, or somewhere else.

Now, is any of this "technically" spam? Maybe but not really. Do I consider it worthless? yes.

But to site your last specific one. I did a search for an address I know was on a compromised product. Specifically a game Heroes of Newerth. They were hacked in I believe 2015 and the list was sold. My email was my old method `[email protected]`. I get like 20~ emails to that a year and all of them go to spam or are flagged as spam automatically.

It's more than that: it's the fact that all of the payment info is there. Every step, field entry, hurdle you put infront of a consumer is usually associated a significant increase in "cart abandonment". By apple allowing you to just apple pay straight in and avoid CC, and billing address etc, they are decreasing the hurdles and increasing the conversion.

Is it worth 30%? In 2013? Maybe In 2021? Definitely not. It should be closer to 5%.

That being said I do like using Apple subscriptions because they make it REALLY easy to cancel them, all in one place, something that can't be said for a lot of other services.

While you're correct, Amazon is so large that this single center being nuked from their org chart would have been an inconvenience. I think it's very easy for us to say "this would help you" but the reality is, it might have drawn a line in the sand, at the cost of every single employee's job.

It isn't the led is physically slaved to the power of the camera, the previous version was firmware fixed and was hacked, hence the change.

You're also looking at this the wrong way. Parking apps make the overhead of managing parking lots less expensive. IF you have higher adoption of the app you have less problems with your onsite machines/attendants/cash. Those cost way more money than adopting this across your fleet of lots. Also a lot of lot owners, have a mangement company or work with an app vendor who will add this as a simple way to improve their cash flow.

App vendors are only paid by the people who use the app, so they have every incentive to make it that much easier for some one to use the app than the ticketing machine.

The parking lots may be competing with other lots, but really they are most likely getting money either way, they want to decrease their overhead, hence apps.

Well first off, we don't touch Kubernetes, so probably not a product we're looking at either way.

Agreed, this is a topic on my mind, we have a need for better cloud based dev environments so this article's titled appealed to me, but it wasn't answering any questions or aligning with common issues.

This is very strange, but also is your Super admin an everyday user account, or a specific isolated admin account?

Google normally suspends accounts (notification after suspension with no real info) for heavily reported spam, they will suspend a ton of accounts if your domain is sending a ton of spam, even if its not via g-suite directly. This may be the case are you sure your domain is secured?

I normally run a https://crxcavator.io/ check on any extension, but cannot because it's free. I'm assuming this is all done locally?
