I'm happy that it doesn't work for me. Not that I doubt that google knows my whereabouts anyway...

From a brief look, they load all of the content initially, and only use checkboxes to filter it when displaying – a click on a checkbox updates the set of criteria and calls a function to re-populate the DOM with new elements. They seem t

Try a honeypot maybe - create an invisible link and see if it gets visited. If their bots are dumb enough to visit the privacy page then they may fall for this too. In general looking into anomalies in GA is a good bet - find differences in

From my experience the actual allowed crawl interval is somewhere between 120 and 180 seconds.

Actually, I'd say free wifi is at least as common in cafes and restaurants in Moscow as it is in big cities in US/Canada, if not more.

I'm guessing here, but maybe it's because road transport is a flexible and free market, and railroads are anything but that.

I agree with what he says here but I wonder what his true motivation is. You can see that he wants a strong and stable power in Syria. Easier to deal with and less risk than all these rebels, who in all likelihood will turn out to be either

I'm Russian and I didn't blink reading the title. I never stopped to contemplate the fece-ness of iCal either, until today (thank you, 10098). Anyway, keep the name. It's a fun easter egg as far as I'm concerned. Also, n

If you finished a post-secondary program you're (probably) entitled to a post-graduate work permit. Beyond that, there's Federal Skilled, Federal CEC programs and BC PNP. Are you sure that you've explored all your options? Yo

If it was one customer's fault, why reset all Linode users' passwords?

The academic requirement is just one year of post-secondary, even an abandoned degree would work.

Lack of accountability misaligns government officials' incentives. This is arguably a more important problem than copyright.

I understand that, but in the examples given in this thread of CS areas that are lacking published research, it is pretty clear that companies develop technologies in secret because secrecy provides them with more value and serves as a bett

I don't see how this situation is an issue of patents, really. A company that is decidedly keeping its prediction technology secret to gain an edge in a market which is entirely about being better at prediction than the other guys is not go

Yes, in my experience this continued even after unchecking all possible preferences. But last I've tried it was Chrome 17 or so. Try chromium or disallowing a folder or whole root in /robots.txt

Come on. The media will report about this law and the vast majority of the population will be thankful for the government cracking down on child pornographers. Never underestimate the bullshit absorption rate of the general population.

Pro tip: the 'email' field is not publicly visible on HN, if you want to publish your email here add it to your 'about' field. Stupid UI, I know.

This is a remarkably readable and succinct explanation of what's wrong with software patents. Thank you for taking time to write that.

Apple's disregard for local laws is not specific to Italy. A warranty repair from Apple in Russia would have taken "a few months", way more than the allowed maximum of 21 days. I had to send my laptop to US with a friend for repairs.
