Also faces squished or am I imagining that?

I haven't looked into how instagram hosts the images (had to look in source of the page to find the link, as it doesn't allow to just direct link to it normally), so please let me know in the comments if the link expired/not working anymore. As of now, it works, and I checked that it works in a private chrome tab as well, no login needed.

P.S. Interestingly enough, if you remove the query string from that URL, the link refuses to work and displays a "bad timestamp" error. Which is what made me guess they employ some expiring timestamp hash in query strings for image URLs.

This is disgusting.

I work there and I would feel bad if I could repro that issue, but it seems like a totally normal link for me, having checked chrome, firefox, and safari :S

On mobile, clicking that link opens up the mobile app (which sends the browser with history into the background), but I assume that can't be what you're talking about...?

When did it become ok to target individuals who work at companies? The last week I’ve seen an uptick in these attacks on HN, they come off as very “I’m better than you” SJW’y, totally oblivious to a person’s situation.

Let’s not turn this into a thing people do.
