   I don't think you do. Spelling mistakes on front pages tell me that someone didn't pay the kind of attention to their work that I would like them to. If their site is trying to sell me something, I conclude that their product is p

   Also, while "no images" may be special on HN, users don't give a shit. Images used right are enormously useful. In this case, I'd add exactly three, symbolizing width, profile and size. Also, separate the three selection

   Find out whatever the most common tire size is and preselect it. This serves both to explain how it works (i.e. you have to make 3 selections) and lets people see what the site does with just one click (instead of 4).

   There's no need for "tracking stuff". You get users to hand over data willingly by making it a useful/convenient feature, at least to some. In this case, simply let users sync their everything[1] to your servers. Now you

   Worse, the advertisers have made their own browser and it's pretty popular. "Not signed in to Chrome (You're missing out -- sign in)" Now they don't even need tracking cookies anymore.

   Good. That means we're doing it right.

   Hmm, Google is missing the flexible dates and calendar view, while http://matrix.itasoftware.com/ is missing EasyJet and presumably other low-cost airlines.

    Rest in peace, AltaVista. I have fond memories of you and your babelfish. Although your name always sounded vaguely profane in my native language.

    So what's a good alternative (Firefox)? I'm using GlimmerBlocker, but due to being a proxy, it can't filter HTTPS pages. Adblock Edge looks like a decrapified fork of Adblock Plus.

    While I applaud this decision for technical reasons alone, I do wonder how much of it was influenced by not having to deal with GPL woes.

    I still don't understand why it requires a browser plugin at all. I find it very suspicious and it put me off Feedly.

    If you're doing something like that, you should make damn sure it's NOT connected to the internet. Did you learn nothing the last few days?

    I had no idea curl supported that kind of syntax. Neat.

    That's why I like HN - you get useful information instead of likes. Sometimes, at least.

    Same goes for the Google Apps Email Audit API[1]. Heck, it even lets you set up keyword queries that get automatically copied to your spy inbox. [1] https://developers.google.com/google-apps/email-audit&#x2F ;

    I stopped reading comments a long time ago. There's a slim chance they add something to an article, but it's not worth wading through all that garbage to find the one nugget of wisdom. Perhaps they contain some feedback useful to the origin

    I'd use that in a heartbeat. Here in the UK, there's only eBay and Gumtree where you can realistically sell used stuff and both are a total pain in the ass. eBay doesn't really want private sellers and lets you feel it, plus it forces you t

    Finally some movement in the desktop display market. I've been hoping for this every time I dragged a window from my retina display to the desktop monitor and it lost 3/4th of it's pixels.
