I worked in the mailroom as a Harvard undergrad. It paid overtime for 7am shift and paid a 3 hour shift even if we finished work in 90 minutes. Best workstudy gig ever, if you don't mind crossing the bridge over the Charles River at 6:45am.

The entire essay is about how pinterest is a modern scrapbook for women, and has one line flatly and bizarrely stating that it is not feminine. How not?

Google could display a message in page, like they do when first party cookies are disabled or when firebug is running. Instead, they chose to "jailbreak" themselves and not even tell the user what they are doing. Google makes a tickertape p

In general, yes you are right, but NYT headlines are not Standard Headline English. They are bizarro convoluted long-winded show-off try-to-look-clever-by-overcomplicating English.

It is not just violating privacy. It is unauthorized access to a computer system, aka malware, aka hacking/cracking. If you did that to Path it would be a felony and you would go to jail. Why is it not a felony in the other direction?
