I don't get it.

Boom! Paywall.

I'm with you. Is this just some stupid form I fill out for no reason? Or is it going to actually help match me up with people? It might be answered in the video, but I shouldn't have to watch a video to figure out what the point of a web site is.

Cool fork, bro.

It had the opposite effect on me. I saw that I missed out on free shipping so I didn't order one.

WTF google? You get me interested in a product. I download it on my phone no problem. But then when I go to open it I'm told that it is invite only. I missed this detail in the blog since it isn't mentioned until the end. Knowingly allowing me to download a program I can't even use? This is a perfect recipe for a 1 star review. How it has so many 5 star review is beyond me.

Oh well, I still really want to try it. So I clicked the invite link that makes me use gmail (the app I'm replacing) to send an email. However, it's not a standard mailto link but a link to https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox?compose=new . Seriously? Now I have to type in an email address because Google failed to use one of the most primitive features of HTML. So far my email experience has only been less convenient.

Anyway, I uninstalled it from my phone. I'll just wait a year or so to see if it flops like several of there other products and then maybe install it.

I still don't get why javascript developers put so much effort into a library and don't provide tests for it.

"It scrolls up for me, fixing the video on top"

That's the problem.

yournemesis | 11 years ago | on: Show HN: HackerBracket – What are you working on?

Nice but the infinite scroll is unbearable. You have some badness going on there. It completely blocks the UI and it crashes Chrome if the dev tools are open. Good luck.

It will also be placed in such a way that I accidentally click it all the time.

You wouldn't download a city.

yournemesis | 11 years ago | on: Microsoft is killing the Nokia and Windows Phone brands

"In fact, Microsoft refers to Windows Phone simply as Windows."

What?

yournemesis | 11 years ago | on: Is It O.K. To Kill Cyclists?

This is different. The article didn't even answer the question.

yournemesis | 11 years ago | on: Is It O.K. To Kill Cyclists?

Interesting article. Horrible click bait title. I guess it worked though.

I thought this was a link to a list of all the names of the people who had died.

"Don’t worry—Pornhub promises it won’t actually load pages more slowly."

Nice click bait title.

That map they have in the article is pretty much worthless since it's not weighted by state population. It pretty much resembles a population map.

I hope you get punched in the face.

I took me a minute to figure out, but that hard coded list is the list of URLs it checks to see if you've visited. Try opening a private browser window.
