Yes, it appears to still do that. I can also still access my account via ActiveSync on my iPhone (but not IMAP or the web interface.)

Yes, I posted this because I've noticed that is what happens -- someone comes here and waits for a Google employee to wave their magic wand -- but I am well aware that people will get sick of seeing these on HN (and a company the size of Go

It isn't the account password; I can log in fine, it's just that I immediately get redirected to the "bad boy" page.

That understanding of RSU taxation is completely inaccurate, so I would agree with your advice to consult with a professional beforehand, rather than "read a lot about it".

Yeah, losing $10+MM a quarter sure is "doing great" by any normal person's intepretation of the phrase.

> The new feature isn’t covered by the standard ‘no emails please’ check box. I got this spam this morning, and duly reported it as such. No emails means no fucking emails, what is so hard about that?

No, I'm not going to support your tax evasion.

I think this is really what it is. There's this trend in the valley of everyone thinking they need ninja zombie pirate rockstar gurus who can solve P=NP and interviewing accordingly, when they're really writing simple CRUD apps and just nee

Yeah, I remember that the Internet was completely useless until the corporate interests started throwing ad money into it, too.

If you would show up at Facebook wearing a suit and tie on your first day, they should probably fire you on the spot for being so utterly braindead as to not figure out any of their culture from your interview or from Internet research or f

It's easy to claim 99% of the country has multiple broadband options if you count satellite as a broadband option, since theoretically everyone CONUS can get it. I don't, because of the 2 second latency.

The FCC's idea that 200kbps is "broadband" is bullshit. A hard drive fedexed across-country overnight is "broadband" by that definition, but the latency makes it pretty unpalatable, don't you think?

I think that creating some sort of "collective marketing" term or group maybe for kids programs that are like this would help reach an underserved market -- someone vetting iOS software and certifying that it is "Kid Friendly" (no ads, no I

That includes things that are clearly not broadband, like satellite and "3G" that has a 2GB cap. Very few homes have access to more than 2 "real" broadband providers (your choices are the cable company or the telephone company, period.)

OS X can wait a day. The work/life balance of people who create OS X is far more important than fixing a "showstopping bug". You're not curing cancer or doing anything at all that is actually time sensitive . Apple will still make money if

You could also add (at the pro tier) the functionality to generate custom URLs for a resume that contain a tracking string, and then send email alerts or something like that when that version of the resume is viewed. Simple analytics of "yo

It's being downvoted because you're drawing an illusory correlation solely to be contrarian. This does not contribute to the discussion. I think the decreased crime rate is due to global warming! There's a perfect negative correlation betwe

And the far bigger concern is that all of your "+1s" are completely public with no way to opt out of that. This was categorically not the case with "Likes" on YouTube.

Seems a little buggy: "Oops! Your SOA serial number (2012041402) doesn't seem to be in the recommended format (YYYYMMDDnn - where nn is the revision number)." Looks like it's in that format to me?

I sent two emails during the app process; I was a bit worried after the first one so I sent a second one about a week later. Message ids: <CAETzaFkOzgx46pHttRy3TE6WU6TEfD0p4WmtM0ZhRz5OXVHmRQ@mail.gmail.com> (sent Mar 23) <CAETza

They don't think it's very important, apparently, as they completely ignored my application for a recruiting engineer they advertised here . An automated courtesy email is the bare minimum of acceptable, and when they can't even get that

No, there is a difference between belief and actions . The action of saying "this one should really work" of course has an effect. There is absolutely no scientific evidence anywhere to support that the "belief" on the part of an admin

In addition to Latitude, the built-in "Find your Friends" seems to already do this, without the user needing to explicitly provide consent every time after the first. You should clearly state why your app is better. Also, I know this is har
