Wells Fargo did this to me many years ago from a business account. The State of California issued a seizer for unpaid taxes for another business. In the end I think Wells Fargo told us that our tax ID numbers were similar. We did end up getting the money back from the state of California after about 3 years. We of course never got back the penalties Wells Fargo charged or interest.

MS has many different orgs. Example: https://github.com/Azure

Microsoft has tons of other orgs besides /Microsoft. For example https://github.com/Azure

You don't know when this code was written or what the original purpose was. User agent detection used to be a best practice. Onedrive for business is a mountain of legacy software going from sharepoint to groove to who knows what. This bug could be buried in some library that was written 5+ years ago. Maliciously going out of your way to not support Linux sounds like a good way to have your code review rejected.

That doesn't sound right at all. It's been a number of years since I have been at MS, but any engineering team I worked on would have wanted this feedback and fixed the problem. Not supported officially doesn't mean a dev can't spend an hour on a likely simple fix to help a customer - depending on who saw this feedback there are certainly many devs at MS who would fix this without even being asked. I'm willing to bet that's happening right now and this will be resolved in a few days.

You're stating as fact something that is very clearly up for debate. If you do a quick search you will find many different viewpoints on what he was doing. Ultimately only Trump really knows if he was mocking the reporter or not and I would say Trump's word isn't exactly to be trusted.

Also, on average people move houses every 7 years in the US (give or take based on age) and it is typical for the appliances to stay with the house. This means the original owner/buyer is pretty unlikely to see the appliance fail before they sell the house. The next owner might, but will buy a new one and then move before it fails. Repeat...

Hmm, I have no idea then. I just renewed my $99 personal account a few weeks ago. Not a business account from what I can tell. Invoice: http://imgur.com/eUpsaem

Yeah, but thats what their message tells me...

They upgraded "Pro" accounts to "Advanced" accounts without cost changes for ~1 year. After that you will have to pay $4.25 more per month for the "Standard" plan in order to keep MFA.

"To give you the most powerful admin control and security features, we’ve upgraded you to Advanced at no extra charge. You’ll keep your original pricing until January 6, 2018. After that, your account will adopt our new storage plans and pricing. If you want to downgrade to Standard, you’ll have until January 6, 2018 to do so."

I think you drastically overestimate how much doctors and layers make. Just like most jobs, the highest salaries are the exception.

Say what you will about the conditions at places like Foxconn in China, but at least they provide food and shelter.

I wonder if there is an opportunity for western companies to build factories on a smaller scale to Foxconn where employees live on campus. Wages could be low, but with basic services provided it could be a chance for low wage earners to save up some money. The costs might be too high for it to work on that scale though.

We have a bunch of open source react apps in https://github.com/auth0-extensions

I'm curious. You state that you are glad that it failed, but you don't know what happens next. What if there really is no plan B? If war resumes, is that a better result or is the assumption that that there really is a plan B? (I'm not arguing one way or another, just trying to better understand the issue.)

I doubt most people have a financial adviser. What percent of people even have savings more than a single paycheck?

But one of these is the market functioning correctly - people moving to places with good jobs. The other is the market being manipulated to serve the interests of a relatively small group of people - restricting housing supply.

I often wonder what happens to the people in these types of photographs. Who are all these onlookers? Somebody must recognize them as their mother/father or grandmother/grandfather. Do they regret what they did or do they just remember it as something that happened "back then"?

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

In case you want to quickly try out your own version. I created a fork that uses Auth0 for authentication so you can use any identity provider plus it has a deploy to heroku button. You can try it out here:

Good point. I wonder what the numbers are on how this affects the returns for employees.

When you read "public returns" that doesn't mean the middle class. The "public market" the deck is referring just means that the trading happens on the open market (NASDAQ, S&P, etc.) rather than in private deals. Regardless, it is always the big players who make the big returns. The average investor wasn't the one making all the returns on Microsoft either. So you are right that the rich use these tools to get richer, but it is hardly a new thing.

Ugh. You realize there are like 3 people who are still working there who were around when this was really a thing? Yes, Satya was hired in 1992, but he didn't grow up in that culture nor did any of the other current leadership. Most people working there now were in grade school when that was actually a strategy.

File a complaint with the FCC. I have done this twice now with comcast and both times somebody from their "executive support" contacted me the next day. It seems that their "executive support" might be the only people in the company that actually can solve problems and the FCC complaint is the only way I know of to get in touch with them. Clearly a very effeciient system Comcast has over there. https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us

Newer versions of Windows include BitLocker which provides full disk encryption. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitLocker

Maybe not in 1 year unless you are very senior, but over 5-10 years that is attainable at a company like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc.

I recently left Microsoft for a startup, but spent about 4 years there on several teams. From my experience nobody really hates anyone. The tech industry is still a fairly small community. Most everybody has friends who work at all the competitors and a significant amount of people have worked at several of the big companies. So while everyone competes, I don't think hate is the right word.

Generally, the fanaticism in HN comments is much stronger than the sentiment of anyone actually working at these places.

Things are different around here. Teams are expected to deliver great products on their own, not rely on some artificial lock-in to force adoption. You see this all over - we offer Linux on Azure, you can federate AD with Google Apps, we release dozens of apps for iOS and Android, and we are opening up many many APIs for rich integration. (Opinion my own obviously).
