We've got frames and iframes...

Can you elaborate on the very close estimate of mutual vulnerability?
nigel182··on Phishing attack uses Unicode characters in domains to clone known safe sites
Interestingly, Safari doesn't translate https://www.xn--e1awd7f.com but it _does_ translate http://xn--8q8h17eba.ga/ to emoji in the address bar.

Chrome behaves oppositely, showing unicode for https://www.xn--e1awd7f.com/ but not showing emoji for http://xn--8q8h17eba.ga/

nigel182··on Ask HN: Do you log your time at work?
I use http://mydamntime.com of which I am the author. I track time there because it's easy to account for lots of task switching, then transcribe the summary to the company timesheet app at the end if the day.

Note: the mobile interface is very dated. I only use it in desktop.

nigel182··on Isomorphic JavaScript, let’s make it easier
This looks pretty damn good. I'm a little wary though because it makes me remember unfondly the leaky abstractions and blurred line between client and server in ASP.NET webforms. Granted, there is no generated client code here (not counting what webpack compiles from JSX) but I'm suspicious of things that claim to bridge the client/server gap.
nigel182··on My favorite interview question
Judging by the comments here, I would be one of the few people to answer this question honestly. Although I haven't been desperate for a job in a long time, I think an honest discussion around this question would be best for both sides.

It looks like DTS from MS SQL Server. Is it a competing product?
nigel182··on Tell HN: How we bootstrapped to the #1 rated mattress on Amazon.com
Here's a little usability feedback on your site:

I decided that I wanted to buy the bed but I couldn't immediately figure out how. I was looking for a link in the main menu like "Products" or "Beds" and didn't think to click the large "Buy Now" button. I thought it was just me and didn't think much more about it.

Later, I told my wife about the bed and she wanted to check out the website. She had a similar experience. She was wanting to cut to the chase and see a list of products with prices and couldn't figure out how to get there. She didn't think to click the Buy Now button either, because she assumed it was what you clicked when you had things in your cart and were ready to check out. She said if I hadn't been standing there and told her how to click the Buy Now button, she would have just headed to Amazon instead and searched for the bed.

Also, you don't ship to Alaska? I just tried to buy one but I can't.

nigel182··on The Great Ivy League Nude Posture Photo Scandal (1995)
Or you could interpret is (as I think other replies are suggesting) as men feeling no shame or threat to being nude. I'm not sure how to articulate this but the women may have felt they were "losing" something by being photographed nude. The men probably didn't.
