Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

Export Bookmarks from Evernote to Pinboard 
v1.4 12th September 2012

This script takes selected notes in Evernote and sends an email for each to Pinboard, extracting each note's title, source URL and associated tags. The user should enter their Pinboard email address in the pinboardEmail property below, and can choose a default tag to add to each bookmark on import. 

This code is hacky, horrible and non-error checking (but it worked for me). Don't use on thousands of notes at a time, it'll go all crashy. Try selecting one test note first to see if it works for you.

/**
 * VH and VW units can cause issues on iOS devices: http://caniuse.com/#feat=viewport-units
 * 
 * To overcome this, create media queries that target the width, height, and orientation of iOS devices. 
 * It isn't optimal, but there is really no other way to solve the problem. In this example, I am fixing
