- raintrees 16y agoThanks for this link, I would have otherwise skipped this article for now. I received a warning that nyt was trying to store data on my system "for offline use."
- knowtheory 16y agoThe link above is to a page intended for the NYT's Google Chrome App. It does indeed cache articles and the like in your browser as per the HTML5 spec, so that if you were to lose your connectivity (say on a mobile device) you could continue to browse and review stuff the app has cached. I happen to think that this layout is considerably less annoying than the NYT's main site.
- raintrees 16y agoThanks. After finishing the article, I found the definition of that request: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Offline_resources_in_Firefox https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Offline_resources_in_Firefo.... I am guessing I had pre-primed myself for paranoid thinking after previously reading another HN post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2106677 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2106677.
