The bulk of it is WebGL. Vue is doing very little here. Since it's a single static page rendering to canvas, it really doesn't need a framework like Vue or React.

isn't sequestering carbon a good thing?

not sure what the reason was, but it's simply a missing >. other files were leaked, and you can see the same pattern elsewhere:

  if ($user > 0 && is_unregistered($user))

  $user can be < 0 in AIM mode, just use 0 there

I also want to discourage the use of "sessions." Lost one because I didn't change the time limit. Lost one because my computer/browser restarted. I'm wary of clicking things like 'skip' now, despite knowing that I could just incognito it. A thirty or even seven day trial would be much better!

This is likely because React moved to Discord too after Slack did not want to bump up their maximum user limit: https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/10/19/reactiflux-...

at least google analytics is non blocking

This is specific to the browser, not YouTube: https://plus.google.com/+FrancoisBeaufort/posts/6PiJQqJzGqX

"We're probably only a month away from having autonomous driving, at least for highways and for relatively simple roads. My guess for when we'll have full autonomy is about three years, approximately three years. However, regulators will probably not allow full autonomy for maybe... at least one to three years after that. So, it depends on the particular market -- some markets the regulators will be more forward leaning than others. But in terms of when will it be technologically possible, three years."

problem #1: GeoIP isn't accurate enough

That comparison becomes $9,644 in 1991 to $11,016 in 2011 when adjusting for inflation: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=5846+1991+dollars+in+20...

so does the footer

Dropbox uses S3

yes, but obviously that's not the comparison. shipping services have much longer distances to travel, they have the overhead of the entire system (trucks or planes for the long haul, trucks driving to your delivery address and from the pickup address, the associated costs of all the time spent by all the people involved) to overcome. i'm not sure who exactly wins in the end without real numbers.

and again, packaging should not be underestimated either.

really? aren't most trips to a store to buy multiple items? a drive to a nearby store is as bad as shipping the product from amazon's warehouse to your address?

also, packaging. both the process and the materials.

just change the domain to flickriver: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/nasa_jsc_photo/sets/7215762...

photo size adjustment on the left

not that it makes a big difference, but his birthday was on monday for accuracy's sake

this is why there's a flag link for each submission

Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link.

i've been trying out some of the hacker news style extensions, and this one suffers from the same problem as the others -- when you're reading comments, and the comments are centered without a background color for the content div, you can't figure out how deeply nested comments are. it makes it difficult to figure out which comments are top level and which are responses.

It looks like what you were thinking of was a merger: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayPal#Beginnings

PayPal was the new result of a merger between Confinity (the company Max Levchin founded, as discussed in Founders At Work) and X.com, an online bank.

Several single-letter domains were purchased before the IANA reserved all of the remaining ones in 1993. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-letter_second-level_doma...

if you'd like to cycle through the background images, go to the site and paste this in your URL bar:

  javascript:document.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].onclick=function(e){e.preventDefault();document.body.id=switcher[(switcher.indexOf(document.body.id)+1)%switcher.length]};void(0);

edit: in related news, it looks like Chrome won't let you paste javascript links into your URL bar. you may need to manually type the 'javascript:' part at the beginning.

what if you sever your corpus callosum?

"text-overflow: ellipsis" is a great start, but it's really too bad it only applies to individual lines of text (via "white-space: nowrap").

it would be very useful if we had a property to truncate text when it reaches the end of a container with a fixed height. so if the container is 3.5 lines tall, 3 lines should be shown with an ellipsis at the last character. bonus points if we can specify a separator, so that the ellipsis will only be applied after the last whole word (space), line (line break), or just character.

In HTML5, not only is it valid, but doing otherwise would break the document outline.

IE7 doesn't support base64-encoded images, and IE8's support is limited.

pretty awesome job. fullscreen or a larger playable area would be nice.

if you expect to be truly anonymous with 23andme, you're going to need to anonymize the address the kit is sent to, the payment information, and the connections to other people you have as well.

In their defense, they do allow anonymous posting of questions and answers. So if it's anonymity you're worried about...
