If a website popups up a message "we detected you are running adblock, please whitelist us to continue" I will press that little x button and move on. My feeling is they are most likely trying to spam me with something or malware

We won’t bore you with complaints here though; hopefully you’ve now got enough information to understand what’s going on in the background when you sign up to use our free adblock measurement service. From the homepage: Measure: How many

That is no different than the current situation - enter the PIN code in wrong enough times and phone locks down. There's just an additional (print reader) barrier in the way

I freelanced in the UK for 2 years, currently in Canada since the past year. Freelancing is tough here, it doesn't seem like it is the norm. It's tough in the UK too, but if you are good at what you do and/or you work in a ni

Do you know if the tabs run in separate processes yet (like Chrome) or will a crash/memory leak/long running script cause the whole browser session to close?

The great thing about Firefox is that if something is so obvious, you could also contribute to the development effort...

You get this a lot in Google Play too, was wondering why this is not possible in Apple Store e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cdeguet.sm... https://play.google.com/store/

Really? There's big difference between someone not choosing to pay for an app and exploiting people who may have no other choice or fallen in hard times. Do you have any articles about this? I would be interested in reading the argumen

I heard people would buy an app, "backed it up" with Titanium backup, get a refund and restore. Not sure if they put something into Android/Play now to counter that though...

I also wouldn't trust any app on my phone which I have downloaded from TPB. I barely trust any app I download from Play Store!

There's this entire platform of users who develop in a magical language called C# and run entirely on Microsoft platform. It might just catch on and get quite popular. The Microsoft world might also be used by large corporations, who a

Could the same be said for MegaUpload? (Although we know it's a totally different story with them...)

Even worse than that when they use the pictures in advertising! http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/facebook-ads-showin...

It's the US and UK governments mainly that are sh*tting on everyone else's rights within their own country that is the problem. Taking a singular view on this will not solve the problem, your government will just shift the process

This is the first thing that crossed my mind when I even read the title. This is a sad thing and I don't think it is a cause for celebration. Next up, oil platforms in the Arctic.

But why should I, as a non-American, have access to that same data? Or this documents made free in the OP?

Some of the least convincing arguments I've read for not buying from Amazon, most of those could apply to any large corporate. End of the day, mass consumers look at the bottom line, in this case cheap prices and good service.

But it makes for a bit of heart warming and noble PR on the writers part...

Agree. It just should have happened a LONG time ago, these issues have bene present for a very long time and even since the beginning, the hack was to use <tables> for layouts

Why does the link to the project on GitHub open in a new browser tab? I know the developer has given a very good explanation about this, and there are still others complaining... Curious to know whether it was just the link to the Github

I hope not, I just wouldn't put anything past easyJet (I've had bad customer experience with them so I am bias)

While I agree with the sentiments of what you are saying but the 'move along' has nothing to do with it being Google. This has been known by everybody for a long time and discussed here on HN. All the 'article' shows is

I agree with your first point totally. I usually prefer to pay a little more and go with BA. The second point though. This must have come from higher up. I mean, I doubt that manager was actively watching Twitter so this must have been iden

Unlikely. EasyJet is a UK/Europe based airline, and they mainly travel within Europe. I think they have tried to ignore a few EU directives before and got stung by the European courts, esp around compensation. I've travelled EasyJ

How do they think Google Now and all those other lovely services work? New news? I think not, move along.

I said it before and I got downvoted to hell, but I'll say it again. Just because those of those of us on HN can deal with these UI changes does not mean that the vast majority of the public can. We ARE the minority, and when designing

I would really be surprised if they underestimated the demand, Asia is known for loving gold. I would bet more likely it is a marketing thing, the news that they have all sold out pushes up demand even further and also hits all the headline

Except the article is from 2003 when Git did not exist (of course, you may have meant this is why they use git now ...)
