I'd love to see a screenshot of an inbox with these messages if any one is so inclined.


This is generally what my primary Gmail inbox looks like on a daily basis. It beggars belief -- the inability to identify cold emails from recruiters is bad enough, but half of those are just... junk with random characters (I guess to test if my email is active?) - https://i.imgur.com/I8LG3wh.png

Does anyone know how it's quite that bad?


Check out Bimmercode to see what you do have access to.


I'm familiar with Bimmercode.

With the best will in the world, software can't magic a night vision camera into my car.


Hi, a heads up for your HR dept. - I noticed that the Partner Relationship Specialist (Contract) JD is for a copy/paste of the ad measurement lead role.


Thank you!


Not me, but a "startup" I'm consulting for today that's pivoted many times over the last 13 years. They spun out a different website focused on a single offering about a year and a half ago that led to them developing a focus (sales and tech both) on a specific market and has led to a crazy uptick in business. I can share the URLs if the HN community is curious to see the difference between the two.

Editing to include URLs: - Original site: www.devhub.com - Spin-off: www.rallymind.com


Since you consult for them, what can you honestly say about the quality of rallymind.com. I'm working on a couple of projects that will need quick, simple payment.integrated landing pages and this service looks interesting. Any opinions of them?


Yes please.


I edited my comment to include the URLs. Interested in what you think, let me know when you have a chance to review.


Would love to see this!


Edited my comment to include the URLs. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions. I can try to pull some SMEs in to answer them if you'd like.


Check out AffinityX. Likely not the largest, but profitable and growing.


Check out my Dad's from 2002. He's still using it as an e-commerce site, regularly getting orders and directing customers to it.

Deleted URL thanks to friendly advice


hmm you might not want people to know about your dad's e-commerce site built in 2002...

EDIT: checked the website, "add to cart" sends you directly to paypal and there doesn't seem to be any account system.

Still you should be careful with which communities you share this kind of information, hint: think of the H of HN


Good point. Appreciate it


No problem, I know how it is to just want to talk about a personal story without thinking about the information you're letting out for the "public" to see :D


> Is the thumb-wheel on the MX 3 "clickable"?

It is not, unfortunately.


That is unfortunate. Huge turn-off.


That sounds exactly like a project manager, at least for cross-functional teams.


FedEx is indeed frustrating and I'd like to share my experience.

My current home is an area that became incorporated about 4 years ago resulting in new addresses for all residents. When looking up my home, almost all map apps leave off the house number. FedEx can't process this, freaks out and ships my packages to my old address. The shipping notification email I receive from FedEx always says "your shipping address has been changed" with absolutely no prompting from me. This has resulted in me trying many things in order to correct with no resolution. Most times, I receive my package by jumping through one or more hoops with no resolution to the core issue.

The hoops:

  1.) drive to the old address to pick up packages (an hour drive) 

  2.) Call FedEx and waste a minimum of 35 minutes each time
 
  3.) Re-route packages to a nearby FedEx store 

  4.) Call the merchant, some have helped, some have directed me to the shipper 

  5.) I've created a FedEx account, deleted all shipping addresses except for the current

  6.) Written a script I copy and paste to Twitter support with all information they will need. They typically respond with "the ticket has been submitted, we don't have any further information"it's sort of a spray and pray approach. Either I'll get an updated shipping notification or nada. If I receive nada day-of delivery, I'm calling or rerouting.

  7.) Update my address in Google Maps, but I don't think it took
My wife's solution has been to have all of her (mostly Target) packages be delivered to her parents' house which is equally frustrating. This address issues also affects my ability to order Jimmy John's online, their system just won't let me, I have to call it in. DoorDash requires I spell out how to find my house in the notes (I've noticed most delivery drivers don't read the notes until they can't find my house).

To one-up OP, I have a World Cup ball from Adidas stuck in some delivery delay hell. It's actually funny now, I'm coming up on my 1st anniversary of placing an order for an item that I haven't received yet. Ordered the ball on 8/16/18, and just received the latest email update notifying me of a delay only 2 days ago. I called support last November and they said that the ball is stuck in the warehouse and they apologize for the delay. I could have opted for a refund then but decided to let it ride. I really want that ball. Photo for proof: http://tinyurl.com/y2st8lt4


What if you're being reimbursed for your phone? I assume they can only see activity on my logged in GSuite account. Can't imagine that they have access to anything beyond that.


If they are the ones paying for your phone's subscription, they get a very detailed report on all the calls/texts/data access requests done.
