Still no invite. :(

Even Apple.com has a dark grey bar at the top.

Was your password in plaintext? Just to confirm what others have been saying.

I think Google would rather just not index such data.

>>A punitive lawsuit isn't going to improve anything in terms of making sure they don't do it again.

What's stopping us to say the exact thing in defense of any xyz alleged offender?

>>they're still a startup

That sounds very troubling to me. When it comes to user data/privacy, how does being a startup vs a huge corporation make any difference?

Besides, a company with tens of millions of users and billion dollar valuation is not really a startup anyway, if at all that matters.

I love dropbox and use it every single day on so many devices, but I did feel violated by this fiasco.

I think it's enabled on every wordpress.COM blog by default.

Not really, but you can say that Chrome has eaten up Firefox's growth.

20% is really huge in such a short timespan. Chrome must be becoming increasingly one of the prominent sources of user data for Google.

Assuming India has 250 Million students who could make use of such a device. If every one of them is given this tablet:

250 Million * $35 (will probably be even lesser when produced in such a massive quantity) = ~9 Billion USD

Add distribution and other chores.. takes it to ~10 Billion USD.

To add some perspective, India's infamous 2G scam is 5 times bigger than that.

[Edit]: Costs could go even lower if the device is ad supported, like kindle.

HN is already being [indirectly] monetized If even 1% of the ycombinator's growth is due to HN.

What's wrong with that? Reddit provides better platform for QA.

How about http://www.reddit.com/r/iama ?

Being honest here - I enjoy what they do. I do feel for the people who are being affected by this, but.... umm... I enjoy.

How are they modifying address bar url? Is it a feature of HTML5?

If(CTR_of(resutxyz)>80%)) pre_render(sitexyz);

Broken on ipad.

Really?

Facebook doesn't take any step backwards.

>>I prefer to select few lines of text and want to add some of my comments

Is this common? Genuinely asking.

Something like this? -> http://news.ycombinator.com/best

Is it related in anyway to the ongoing protests in India?

Even if some xyz % of apps are rubbish, we can almost take it for granted that other app stores will also have similar kinda rubbish apps %.

Most of the cPanel installations usually already have quick installers for all popular CMSs including wordpress.

Number of listings on AirBnb == (1/2)*Number of listing on HomeAway

Reddit's way of solving the chicken-n-egg problem looks relatively much OK to me. It's tolerable even if it's deceiving. It's an acceptable way of kickstarting a community, IMO.

I think most people are looking for PG's general opinion over the issue. He has had written about certain "naughtiness" in his essay(s?). To what extent does he think it's OKAY?

They can't blame a sales team for this. It was their own responsibility to monitor sales team's activity.

Not sure about difference, they do have a similarity though - both are illegal & unethical.
