Same in Firefox.

Though I just never bothered installing Flash. If I need Flash for a site, I use Chrome (which comes with Flash embedded, I believe).

I believe she is referring to opting out of the full body scanners[1] in American airports. One can do that by telling the TSA agent that they'd like to opt out of the scanner. They will instead do a manual pat down.

That's a valid concern, but unrelated to JavaScript being required. Making a JavaScript web application screen reader accessible is no problem.

This isn't used internally by Facebook at this point. The author mentioned this after your post. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8108741

Pretty fun game!
I had one issue though. I managed to type 129wpm in one round (I normally type around 105-110, this particular paragraph was easy). It told me to be allowed to use this score I had to prove I could type 117wpm on an obfuscated (think captcha) document. I was not able to do that. It's a good idea, in theory. Maybe if I'd tried a few more times I could have gotten it up there.

This is great work. The video in particular sold the idea to me.
Projects like this are really making me want to build something substantial in ClojureScript.

It's in the Mac App Store (they can't charge you again later) so it's free to download and use forever, offer expiring after one month.

I can confirm that. I really miss that feature.

What are the features the PS4 has that are missing on the Xbox One? Genuine question.

It guessed I was 10. I'm old enough to have received a BS and have had a job for quite a few years. I'm not sure why it would think that.

Firefox has one, too.
about:config, search for "plugins.click_to_play". Enable!

I use space for page down and shift+space for page up. Scrolling means tracking where I am as I go, when I hit page down I know where to start reading, the top. It feels more like reading a book.

Absolutely nothing, but I prefer when you disclaim that you've included one.

I understand your point (and agree), but a nice stout and some fancy chocolate go quite well together. :)

Do you happen to have a source for this? I've always heard (via offhand comments, admittedly) that the deal was done and Google wasn't surprised.
