Can we get a properly working window.onerror? Currently we either get a very generic Script Error (0 information for debugging) or have to wrap every native method in one with a try/catch. This is more for error log collection and aggregation to understand what's breaking in production.


Couldn't find any Bitcoin goodies. That's surprising!

Google tried social without a real name policy (aka Buzz) and it didn't work. Google+ has better content.


I don't know how you can compare them. G+ has had a massive support from being tied into every other product, in some cases taking features people already use and making G+ mandatory for continuing to use them. Not to mention getting tied to search such that not having a G+ presence could significantly adversely affect your SEO. Buzz certainly had its problems but it doesn't mean G+ was the right way, or that real names had anything to do with the difference.


You can add a soft rate limit with a captcha to make sure it's a human doing the requests rather than a spammer's script.


You can't rate limit APIs with CAPTCHAs.


It has voice and touch screen. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xQ3y902DEQ#t=60


It really depends where the crawler is finding these links. I don't think this is a mistake. It's possible that people are adding these links to their site instead of "mailto:" links and crawler is simply indexing them.


I can totally understand why the crawler would crawl this URL.

However, I can't understand how this one specific URL ended up being shown as the second link when you search for "gmail".


It's not the only one overall, but this one likely ranks the highest. It also is bundled with gmail because it links to gmail domain (mail.google.com).


Does YC buy into later rounds of a company or just let the dilution happen?


The latter.


Offering previous iPhones as a price-reduced version works well for the development ecosystem (i.e. minimize fragmentation).


You don't need to restore with Gmail.


One "restore" preference people have is account migration. Take all your email from one gmail account and import it into another.

Plus your response makes my mind boggle. People consider their gmail way too solid. There's lots of posts online of people who have lost their accounts completely.
