Please consider a different search engine. Recently I tried to remove as many Google products from my life as possible, and I found it surprisingly easy to transition to Firefox browser and Duckduckgo as a search engine. My search results a

Great product and clear marketing website. I particularly like how focused the product is. One thing that really stands out for me is the detail and effort you've put in to the help and privacy documents. Good job!

Since when is an arbitrary cross-origin domain name a valid user interface choice? From a security standpoint, using the _path_ of a trusted domain is still a thousand times more secure and convenient, rather than navigating to another arbi

With the correct configuration, www.example.com cookies do not leak over all subdomains, but it's impossible to configure example.com cookies to _not_ leak over all subdomains.

I'm impressed by your high goals, but I feel like the announcement on Show HN is quite premature, or the "Google" title is very misleading. I'm aware of the beta label, but currently I seem to only be able to use the &qu

I see font ligatures in the same light as tab characters. They are configurable in the editor and don't affect the source code, but enhance visual clarity while not forcing programming languages to now have to support custom operators

Downloading and Streaming are two different royalty models. Legally, you have to pay more expensive royalties if you download music (referred to as "right to reproduce") rather than stream (right to transmit), so a special type of

Is it possible to drag/drop files in the sidebar yet? Or even right click cut/paste? Last time I tried Sublime it was impossible to move a file without going to your OS's file explorer and doing it there.

I tried various video editors for Linux and found Kdenlive to be the best looking, but as soon as I used it I frequently lost work through crashes and corruptions. Tried again not too long ago and it's still very poor in this regard.

While this is true, I see a lot of comments recommending "better" operating systems like Linux based distributions... but try getting the general public to use Linux based OSes and you'll find more problems than just automati

That's how all executable code is distributed outside of a package manager. Ever downloaded an EXE on Windows or DMG on Mac? It's the same, except you can inspect the code doing it this way if you were worried.

I found this library many moons ago when looking for a credit card formatting solution. It had so many bugs when I tried it, and it has at least as many now. For example: in the first demo, type the card number 1234567812345678. Works nice,

Senior people will be able to do the two hour coding homework in way less than two hours. If someone can't manage this as part of an interview process, it might be a sign of their time management abilities.
