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

Make a PUT request with jQuery.ajax()
$.ajax({
type: 'POST', // Use POST with X-HTTP-Method-Override or a straight PUT if appropriate.
dataType: 'json', // Set datatype - affects Accept header
url: "http://example.com/people/1", // A valid URL
headers: {"X-HTTP-Method-Override": "PUT"}, // X-HTTP-Method-Override set to PUT.
data: '{"name": "Dave"}' // Some data e.g. Valid JSON as a string
});
/* Some clients do not support PUT or it’s difficult to send in a PUT request. For these cases, you could POST the request with a request header of X-HTTP-Method-Override set to PUT. What this tells the server is that the intended request is a PUT. Obviously this relies on the API you are accessing making use of the X-HTTP-Method-Override Header.*/

A list of free email provider domains. Some of these are probably not around anymore. I've combined a dozen lists from around the web. Current "major providers" should all be in here as of the date this is created.
