Depends on the service. Google allows us to invalidate the token when we're done, rendering it useless, so we do. You'll notice that if you run the stats tool again you'll have to re-authorize it for Google. Microsoft does

This is a really good idea we hadn't thought of yet, thank you! We'd even be able to use the exact same logic to do the calculations...

This is something we've heard from a lot of people, and we account for it. Meetings that only include yourself aren't counted in the stats.

Yep! We throw out anything over 8 hours long as well.

OP here, happy to answer your questions! Most importantly: We take privacy very seriously, none of your calendar data is stored, just tabulated, and as soon as we finish we remove the token so we can't access anything in the future. T

Learn by doing. Just like dating, it’ll be awkward at first, but you’ll get better. I built a low effort tool to help HNers network with each other, it’s a good way to start practicing: https://findkismet.com

The current workaround is to put your contact info in your profile, which has worked well for me. With that said, I did create a small app to encourage HN users to message 1-on-1: https://findkismet.com

I would encourage you to venture over to Wikipedia and sort the violent crime rates per 100,000 people[1]. Chicago is 28th, behind Oakland, Houston, Atlanta, and Miami. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_

I've lived in Chicago for nearly 10 years and will continue preaching its advantages to anyone who will listen. Crime isn't as big a problem as people think it is (it's isolated to a few long-disadvantaged neighborhoods), it&

Code tests are a perfectly reasonable way to assess talent as long as they meet two conditions: 1. They don't take more than an hour or two 2. They closely resemble the work that the candidate will be doing on a day-to-day basis. Lee

I consider ORMs to be a form of technical debt -- they're a great way to get to market quickly. Unfortunately like most technical debt, it usually just gets ignored until it's completely unsustainable.

I wrote a blog post about exactly this. tl;dr is they need to share your values and you need to pay them to do a small test project before committing. http://jeremyphelps.com/blog/how-to-interview-a-freelance-de...
