Also beautiful in the most recent version at https://www.berkshirehathaway.com:

  <meta name="GENERATOR" content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18828">

The ad in the footer of the page is the same ever since.

Note: not meant to mock, I find this truly amazing.

Thank you for the fast reply.

And also thank you for cap'n'proto. Got the chance to sneak into the project again and am happy to see you announced v2.

Remote-friendly means US-remote-friendly? Or worldwide?

Also, the listing says [0]. Does this mean I can't work as a non-US-citizen / I need a security clearance of some sort?

Please provide these two lines, I'd love to utilize the same pattern in the future :)

thewavelength | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: iOS e-mail App with customizable “From” field?

Just tested it. I can't save the new account in the Mail settings when I leave the incoming credentials blank :-/ It works when I add the real IMAP account though. And the Mail app seems to be clever enough to not duplicate everything in the combined Inbox view. Thanks, at least that's a tradeoff.

thewavelength | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: iOS e-mail App with customizable “From” field?

Thanks, good to know! If I can't find any other solution I will think about this.

thewavelength | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why does YouTube not offer a download button?

Ads, most probably.

thewavelength | 8 years ago | on: Show HN: Ad-Free Life – Adblocking as a Service

Technical question: when I send over my DNS requests to you (do I actually do that?), aren't those requests unencrypted going over the internet so everybody can sniff on which pages I visit?

thewavelength | 9 years ago | on: Show HN: The Most Explosive Modal on the Web

The opening of the modal is being pushed to Browser history. This confuses me as I don't expect modals to be in the history.

Is this caused the way it is achieved with CSS only or is this actually wanted?

thewavelength | 9 years ago | on: Microsoft: You need to fix your Skype and Microsoft account issues, this is insane

As of my knowledge, you can log in to Skype without 2FA using an outlook.com-email-address even though it has 2FA enabled.

thewavelength | 9 years ago | on: Show HN: Ctxt.io – share context of whatever you see with others in seconds

Wow, didn't know that the usage of Firefox is that low. Thanks for clarification - makes sense.

thewavelength | 9 years ago | on: Show HN: Ctxt.io – share context of whatever you see with others in seconds

I still don't get it. Every page I try to contextify (wat) is looking like pasted in a 1999 WYSIWYG editor. How do you all get the correct styling etc with you? I'm using Firefox with uBlock and Disconnect.

Example page: https://www.golem.de/ticker/ - I tried to copy some listed links but they just look like standard Times New Roman after contextification: https://ctxt.io/2/AAAAAPxhEA

Anyway, nice idea. I have ever used screenshots so far.

thewavelength | 9 years ago | on: Show HN: NoFile.io – A simple file storage site with lots of perks

Great design & feature set.

Feedback: the navigation bar at the top is quite unusable from an UE point of view. The positions of the icons (and therefore the hovering position) change as the mouse hovers them. It is quite annoying.

Also, in the FAQ: "How can this be a free service? Magic" This sounds to me as: "stfu, don't ask, you are not clever enough to understand" or "there is some dirty way to get money from you, better don't ask".

thewavelength | 9 years ago | on: 68 things the CLR does before executing a single line of your code

Is there a way to embed multiple, independent DLLs into one host application with the possibility to reload/unload DLLs in .NET Core? I didn't find a way yet because .NET Core does not seem to support the AppDomain concept.
