Well, now you know the drill!

"to have employees that they send off to get hired at other companies, do some stuff in those companies that are beneficial to their actual employer, and then leave before the probationary period ends." To me that sounds like not disclosing, that they work also for another company and this certainly ain't legal on most jurisdictions.
Can you cite the relevant law? I've never heard of it being illegal in the US to not tell your job that you have another job.

#53I must have changed that back from miles once a fortnight since Google Maps launched 20 years ago. That's 500 times. Totally ridiculous for a company who core goal is profiling their users...

#56If Google Maps would like to hire me so the km/miles switch can remember I only ever want to see distances in km, my contact details are in my HN profile.

#58Reminds me when I got banned from Amazon for suspected fraud (had an old account, but deleted my email and number since it was in a lot of DB dumps). After I got hired, I reached out to the guy in charge of the anti-fraud team at Amazon, and got unbanned. Emails to support etc. did nothing before I reached out internally (unbanned by 1am the next day).

#59It's hilarious to see the old joke actually playing out in real life. Kudos! On a meta note; would you consider adding a left margin to your site? Reading from the very edge of my screen feels somewhat strange.
