Has to be the facebook lead talking about how they deploy code to main site. Absolute fun to watch and learned a ton of cool stuff. Dont have a link, sorry.

Like what? Supporting ie 7 & 8? Using relative urls?

IE certainly has strangest of bugs.

Select the text and right click to copy. The trick is over when the "search google for 'malicious text' comes up instead of the command in chrome.

It has probably been said in this very thread before but here goes nothing. Here is why I made some of my own code open. Some of it was college stuff. I wrote assignment programs and made them open so others can see it. (I am almost the onl

The number of people who use whatsapp is very high even in my not so techie circle of acquaintances in a developing country. Not to mention it has direct access to all the phone books of every user along with their very real name and other

That was with help of google. Google had incentiv to work on webkit, not anymore. Now webkit folk are on their own.

Chrome has a very quick release cycle, so I don't see why not?

Yea I was not sure. I left them after their data cap for "high speed" "unlimited" internet cap was 3 gb per month. I can put up with js injection but ridiculous data caps are something I can't live with.

That's rediculous. Airtel in India also used to do this. Annoying as hell. Miss-type the domain and type all of it again.

That gmail webcam gesture control was nice too.

Maybe he means cases where newspaper sites let users skip paywall if they are coming from google x times a month.

But a request is still a request. It might not make sense to include referer data in the case you mentioned but that does not mean every cros request will fit that description.

Wasn't it once that other browsers sent MSIE UA to look like IE? How times change.

It doesn't need one. Leave the password field empty when logging in. This is a site whose user base is very technical. Figuring out password resets is not really big of a deal.

My PC is not fast enough, the intro lags very badly. And I don't have a ICS phone, so no way to run chrome :(

But a name cannot be paragraphs long.

Why are some parts redacted? If they are de-classifying and keeping the juices away then they might as well keep it a secret.

It's more than a hint. The service was active on Google for some time a few hours ago and then was pulled down again. It definitely exists, not a matter of 'if' but a matter of 'when'.

It's not just hard drive failure. Account stolen laptops, out of charge laptops and convenience of accessing any file anywhere anytime (tablet, phone or PC).

That can't be right. A file sharing site from Google cannot handle a Reddit thread? Seriously?

Even if you have >9 gb of docs, you are not going to use all off them at once. Offline version is to keep a cache of most used/important files. Offline deals with temporary service downtime or network unavailability. It is not meant to

lol a bunch of Reddit traffic cannot pull down Google's servers. When a doc has heavy traffic, Google has ways of limiting usage of doc by making it read only), but a Reddit thread can never pull down a file sharing site. Esp big ones like

Shit happens. It was also possible if all your data was on the hard drive. And Google drive has an offline version of the app, so server downtimes limit the usage but don't make it completely useless. And if my hard drive breaks, it's not l

If you are comparing YC to this then YC partners also give an option for 80k promissory note with no cap (IIRC) in the center of the biggest startup hub in the world. And $1k is relay not that much in a big city like Bangalore. Definitely n

by Achshar 14y ago
$10m for 10k companies is way too less. It stacks up to one grand per company. Really? That less, they might as well not invest. Compared to startup Chile, they give $40k as the article itself says. India is not a very costly country compar

It will be there, but it wont sync to new systems. It will be treated like a local install.

by Achshar 14y ago
You can always disable it in the sync settings. Seriously this is HN, not some news site.

A webpage finding out what software I have installed is all kinds of bad, esp if there is no flash involved since its the page to download flash.

I am not a command line pro either but whatever limited experience i have came from working from mercurial and from college unix lectures. I would suggest you incorporate command line in some of your routine work (source control for example
