As a teacher I've had the opposite problem: students whose email (sent from university email addresses) got caught in the SPAM filter. All of them had Russian names.
What team were you on? It looks like you had an awesome time! I'm interning at Facebook Seattle next Fall, and I'm trying to figure out which team(s) to try to join.
For how long and how often would you recommend we 'stop eating once in a while'? Or do you have resources that recommend what would be a beneficial amount of fasting?
Just wondering what steps I could take to be healthier, as I've never even considered fasting in the past. Thanks!
I'm very impressed with the number of products and services supported so far. It has everything from bookmarks to location history. It even lets you choose the format for some products, and Drive in particular has some nice options. I'm glad to see Google opening this tool up.
For Gmail, it is new. Until recently, 'download' was only possible through IMAP and POP3 – and could therefore take days or even weeks due to throttling.
In an old job, they used gmail for email, so most of the company used Thunderbird. This worked fine for most of them, but sysadmins got so much email (mostly alerts) that google's crappy IMAP implementation kept breaking so the clients would be constantly syncing, and folder operations such as moving stuff would often take multiple minutes.
My cheap VPS I run my own email on vastly outperforms gmail's IMAP.
Seriously, please keep the NSA comments to NSA articles. I know the NSA issue is important, but yammering on about it in every article is the same as a Bible-bashing Christian raising the topic of Jesus in every single conversation.
And I am Christian, and I do think the NSA issue is important.
I had a moment of paranoia a few months back where I thought it was concerted attempt to trivialize the issue, but then I realized it's just a way to get cheap laughs/upvotes.
Or it's a way to keep it on people's minds - that isn't mutually exclusive with having a few laughs, I guess I can see that more easily than others coming from a nation with a long history of self-deprecating and dark humour, but it's by no means a unique phenomenon.
There's actually a useful Zapier script that already does this [0]. I remember reading about it on Mike Knoop's (Zapier cofounder) blog [1]. I haven't tried it out but you should be able to hook it up to any of the alert services that Zapier integrates with. (Which is a lot!)
Zapier (YC S12) did something similar to determine demand for their initial product. I heard Bryan Helmig (co-founder) give a great talk on the subject, and it seemed to work very well for them:
Udacity CS101 [1] also goes through the basics of building a web crawler. It's a lot more lightweight (no backend, etc), but it's a fun overview and can be completed pretty quickly.
