I don't think it is legally possible. I believe these requests are usually accompanied by gag orders.

In this age of SEO'd dreck and machine-generated content, I'll happily take a few "bubbles" over a static (read: gamable) ranking system.

Collaborative typesetting is indeed cool, but the domain name promised far more excitement than it delivered.

Do any of Google's competitors do this? http://www.google.com/transparencyreport/governmentrequests/

I love the shit out of Gmail, but I switched to Apps with my own domain for this reason. I've had my email address for much longer than Gmail's been around.

Actually, I would trust Google to challenge government subpoenas more than I would trust my current small webhost, which has probably next to no legal resources that would give it a chance in court.

This is some serious shit. We're doomed!

It's not pushing, the browser still has to poll - it's just enqueueing files for transfer, right? Even if that use case has some utility (of which I'm dubious), it still needlessly breaks the addressability semantics of URLs. It would be mu

Seems like it would be an easy thing to do from the OAuth provider's end - in addition to showing the scopes, you can put it into a few easy buckets: 24 hours, 7 days, 1 month, 1 year, indefinitely

2-step verification has made that practice obsolete. I've read that it's better to use 2-step in conjunction with a strong password that you'll remember, versus regularly migrating from one weak or medium strength password to another.

It doesn't randomly barf terminal control sequences into the top of your Emacs buffers, for one. ;) I've lost count of how many times I broke my build because of something like "]24;" being inserted into the head of my source files.

All day? I don't think I could take the ergonomic hit. I am pretty sensitive about readable color schemes in Emacs, reducing glare, etc. etc.. Whatever floats your boat, I guess...

Nice. Works on Ubuntu, and it's free. I got my jollies for a couple minutes, realized how much I prefer readable text and smaller but legible font sizes, and closed it.

I don't know why, but this has a strange allure to me...

So many of the linked articles have comment threads that are total circle jerks!

I think they'd still post here, because of the "street cred" or something. I am also sick of SEO and Teach Me Programming! links.

This is wonderful. I love it. Lots of SEO and Social Media Marketing articles. I hope they poach a lot of people from HN. _(ssh, quiet...!)_

Will this eventually reorder based on my habits? HNers will probably still bitch if the items moved around. DAMN YOU GOOGLES!

No kidding, asio is fast and battle-tested. I only see risks associated with being an early adopter this. The Node hype is a deafening roar.

For now, it is only adopted by Chrome. The code for NaCl is all open sourced and the ABI is stable, so other parties could adopt it if they were so inclined. The difference is that it allows for extremely fast native code execution within a

Probably an intern project. Who cares? The awful thermal dissipation of my work Macbook is a worse design than this.

Similarly, I have nightmares of working with a second rate designer who has drank too much Apple Kool Aid. DESIGN UBER ALLES! Stop being so pessimistic, codemonkey!

OpenID in the same category of IE5. Ouch. That hurts.

There might be something interesting that they could do with defining a hashtag whitelist or a set of filter criteria for a circled contact. Someone mentioned languages, too - what if autodetected language could be one of the filter criteri
