user-id··on It’s time to give Firefox a fresh chance
I also switched to Opera as a default web browser this year, Chrome not feeling nice to use as a daily driver anymore. Almost 10 years isn't a bad innings though. So far so good.

The video on their homepage is way too OTT.
user-id··on Vote Now: Who Should Be Time's Person of the Year? Edward Snowden
Update, Cyrus is now ahead of Snowden with a comfortable lead.
user-id··on We Should Ditch Nginx
Given the content of at least 1 other related site hosted on the same IP (simulantproductions.com), I think it's fair to say this article is satire and should be considered flamebait.

http://viewdns.info/reverseip/?host=www.hipyoungstartup.com&...

The three other websites mention the same people so it's fair to say the fourth is just another project of theirs.

I don't mind the minimalism, it just looks weird sitting in the middle of a tee like that. Something a little more practical would have been cool, like a white tee with a beige pocket and orange trim on top of the pocket. Heck, even if it was just a printed faux practical pocket, it would actually be quite apt really.

user-id··on Beta Late Than Never (Steam Linux Beta)
Coincidentally, I thought you meant here at HN.
user-id··on SeenBefore: A search engine for what you have seen before
For testing purposes I use Chrome's "Users" feature to keep an extra profile with no extensions installed handy.

The same could be done for a "Porn" profile too I guess, sand-boxing any history, extensions and bookmarks to that profile. You could even associate tie it to a Google account for portability.

Well, "next to no corruption" is still within bounds...
user-id··on Want to Block Common Passwords? Sorry, That is Patented

user-id··on Self-referential URL
I'd say that's all it took, a lot of automated tweeting with better guesses.
user-id··on Tell HN: Login to unsubscribe is against Federal Law
Exactly, even if email is forwarded, the To: should still be intact.

user-id··on 256 CSS Classes Can Override an #id
Does anyone else get kicked to github from the Betterfrontend website? Probably supposed to be a button but ended being a frame-breaking Github 404.

That's not very nice.
