Sigh. Someone signed up for a Facebook account with my email address and the "if you think this is an error" link does nothing.

What's interesting is that Facebook doesn't make you wait until you confirm your email address before you can start using the account. So I'm seeing her add friends, get messages, etc. The "if you are receiving this in error" link in the email takes you to a "Report Abuse" page, which has a button that does nothing but return you to the Report Abuse page.

People have signed up for so many services using my email addresses. I'm amazed by how many services don't require confirmation of the email account — including banks!! I'm getting people's bank statements and the bank ignores my protests.

Reported the link not working correctly as a bug. Let me know which email address of yours it was and I'll try to get it sorted out.
- David Recordon
Thanks for looking into this, @David. The email address they signed up with is 'dewitt' at gmail, which I don't use myself, but it forwards to my normal account. But the real bug isn't the Report Abuse form, of course. Why not verify email addresses before enabling the new account?

The link is now fixed.

Rock on. Thanks, David!
- DeWitt Clinton
David, this problem is back. I received another sign up email (this one to a different address). When I clicked on the "If you are receiving this in error " link I got the following message: "The confirmation link you have entered has expired or has been copied incorrectly. Please copy and paste the full link you received in the confirmation mail. If this still doesn't work, you can...

There are still a few little hitches here and there, but it's really coming together overall. The only reason I open Safari these days is to run Wave (there is still an irritating scroll-hitching bug in Chrome that affects Wave; I'm sure it'll go away soon). Oh, and I'll take fast over adblock any day :)

Louis: hopefully going to be a good game. Two great running backs, defenses that are inconsistent. It is really hard to predict given how inconsistent both teams have been, though.

"In continental Europe a big part of an estate (often around half) is reserved for the surviving children of the deceased and must be equally divided between them. ... Finally, “clawback” laws in many countries stop parents from dodging forced heirship by giving assets away while they are still alive. This applies to gifts made in the last years of life (two years in Austria, ten in Germany), or much longer: in some countries, no time limit applies."
- Paul Buchheit
I bet the Europeans think it's crazy that we reserve half for the IRS :)
- Private Sanjeev
I thought only millionaires had to reserve half for the IRS.
- Gabe
As of 2009, it's 45% for estates valued at over $3.5MM, with exemptions for small businesses and farmers. It affects less than 1% of the US population at present. It's set to revert to $1M in 2011, but there's pretty much no chance that Congress will let that actually happen.
- Joel Webber
@Sanjeev: In Europe the inheritance tax rates vary, but can be similar to the US, and the exemption limits are often much lower: "[2007] France if you are inheriting from a spouse you receive up to €76,000 tax free. Anything above this limit is taxed at between 5 and 40 per cent, depending on the size of the gift. But the rate for non-relatives is a hefty 60 per cent, with no...

@Simon: Interesting -- I had no idea it was that high. It's also telling that, as the Economist article suggests, (continental) European law seems to strongly favor blood relatives (especially children) over the wishes of the deceased. I'm not sure which is preferable, but it's an interesting dichotomy.

In many ways, the fortune I have enjoyed with Google exemplifies the American dream, but to me that is just the tip of the iceberg. Reflecting upon my life, I have many basic freedoms that my parents did not -- the ability to pursue my interests in school and university, the choices in jobs, the freedom to live in the place of my choosing, and ultimately the ability to pursue my own enterprise."
