{"is_fb_employee":"maybe soon? https://www.facebook.com/careers/department.php?dept=enginee... }

Thats funny actually =)

How do they know that I actually fit in that department and not in Marketing? Like... I never put who my employee was or my profession..

EDIT: Oh, I did put my profession. Stupid me.

That's cute but it's not accurate. I interviewed there over two years ago and I appear to be blacklisted, since whenever I look at any of their job descriptions I get this: "Hey, we have reviewed your application and unfortunately don't have an opening for you." I can't really square that with "Maybe soon?"

That sounds like a bug - from what I'm told by a recruiter, you should be able to apply again by now. You can also start the process by emailing the address in the text at the bottom of job once you click on "Apply for this position".

We get it, you guys have seen Office Space. It doesn't contribute positively to the discussion.

The only thing that stands as a non-contribution is your need to publicly proclaim a lack of a sense of humor.

I think HN still tends to reward quick posts over more thoughtful ones. As humor is quicker to post, it will come to dominate (i.e. HN will become Reddit) without this important check/balance in the culture.

600,343 (343rd user at Penn) Assuming similar adoption rates at the 4 other "second wave" schools, I'm probably one of the first 5-10k users of Facebook.

May I ask how you know your join-order at your school?

I'm guessing that 600,000 represents penn, but I am just guessing based on the numbers and what others have written.

It's occasionally helpful to explain to people why they're being downvoted. Comments that consist of pop culture references usually aren't treated kindly.

Yeah, right?! Why so serious?

Now, seriously talking. A joke doesn't hurt a discussion. Laugh and move on. Or even better, keep making jokes.

I thought it was implying that if you are the type of person to find that link you could be in the engineering department (ie it isn't dynamic)

Hm, I think you can still invoke it jsonp style and overload the Object constructor in older browsers though, right? This would not only tell you whether they were a FB employee, but perhaps more importantly, their facebook UID without needing them to agree to any OAuth access.

That only works if it's surrounded by parenthesies. A bare object literal is not syntactically valid JavaScript.

i think jquery can deal with a straight json response, but i may be wrong.

The same origin policy in browsers will stop you from doing that.

Can't you use a JSONP request?

JSONP is a way to consume a feed from a willing website on a different domain name. I say "willing" because the feed must be presented in JSONP -- there is no way for you to alter a JSON feed into a JSONP feed without using some sort of proxy.

Because you'd need to use a proxy on your domain to convert the feed to JSONP, you would then lose access to the client's cookies for the target domain. That basically means that no, you can't use a JSONP request to defeat the same-origin policy.
