I don't understand why it resets at universal jump engine. Is that the end of the game, or is there some way to end up in a different state? I got to the point where that was the only option left.

It's a shame you don't get to see what the other person voted for, whether they thought you were a bot or a human.

Looking through that site, one of the things used to identify you is the value of the "do not track" header... So the existence of that header actually makes tracking worse on the web

I agree, and on top of that Google products used to be, in my experience of top notch quality. But over the past couple of years I'm seeing more and more bugs in Google maps, chrome, and android. I think they've really let the qua

I've been staunchly on the Android side of the Android / iOS question, but this carry-on with refusing to block tracking like Apple has done is really making me consider switching.

I've looked for a way to print to a printer on Firefox mobile but have never found one and always have to switch to Chrome just to print. Does anyone know if it's possible yet?

For anyone as confused as I was, peloton is the term for riding bicycles close together in a group. Not the brand of indoor exercise machines.

I wish they'd advertise it better. I use Firefox mobile and it's so much better than Chrome I'd hate to go back. If the mainstream were aware how much better advert-less browsing is, by using adblockers on Firefox mobile, tha

I've been given the "we're a small start-up so can't afford to pay what you're currently on" line. I believed it at the time, and told them that's ok, I understand but I'm not willing to take such a b

Just tried this out, looks great, I've wanted something like this for a long time! I often use Cmd-tab to switch between apps on the mac, and I noticed that this search pane shows up in the tab switcher, which can get in the way a bit.

I think this is an experiment. And given the current state of the internet in regards to fact checking, it's commendable that they are trying something to help address the issue. Maybe it won't work, if so, nothing lost. I wonder

I've been wondering about this for a while. Now both whatsapp and Facebook have this, but surely they have the encryption keys too, or how else would they seamlessly fetch your messages and decrypt them when you get a new phone? If the

Personally, I did find it funny, but then I think it would be no less funny as "lol boyfriends amirite". But I say this from the perspective of the less oppressed gender. I think if I were on the other side, perhaps I would be dis

Just a wild guess, but if there are non secure assets in the page, this would result in a browser warning, arguably more suspicious looking than this for average users. As a quick and dirty workaround they may have done this?

Just 2 weeks! I am very impressed. Great work. First URL I typed in was news.ycombinator.com, which wasn't valid until I added the http:// . I don't think most users would know to do that. Could you default to https &#x
