How do they know that fraudsters with fresh cookies and no referrer history aren't just in private browser mode? Sounds like the server would view them as the same in most cases.

On Firefox, IndexDB throws an InvalidStateError only on private mode, I'm sure there are equivalents for Chrome.

You can try that in the console of Firefox:

  var request = window.indexedDB.open("MyTestDatabase", 3);request.onerror = function (event) { if (event.target.error.name === 'InvalidStateError') alert('private mode')}

There are capabilities like local storage that are often disabled in private browser mode.

I've actually found a few online stores which now check for this and redirect you to a "turn off private browsing to browse our site" message. It's moderately annoying that they refuse to even let me see what they have for sale until I agree to let them use my hard drive.

I wouldn't want to be customer of such a site.

Problem solved.

The magazine analogy doesn't work though, unless you are referring to a free magazine. The magazine generates revenue through sales of the magazine and advertising within the magazine. Whereas platforms provide users with free services that are supported by ads.

I'd love to see this extended in future to include:

- using mannerisms I have used with the sender in past emails

- scan my calendar schedule and have an idea of my availability and use that in the response

The product in its current form sounds great and I'm keen to give it a try.

Good for them. Incredible success, all without a single salesperson.

I've often wondered, and I know HN can educate me on this - did Atlassian create Agile or are they just big supporters of it?

They didn't create agile, but I'd say that their products are a large reason why agile methodology caught on in mid-to-large businesses.

Companies are hearing about agile, and then Atlassian offers a series of products that enable it, that work well together and are decently flexible. I've been through some companies that are just wall-to-wall Atlassian products.

Typo on the front page... "Order the new Wheelys 3. Before it's to late".

The campaign page is full of typos. Just read it in an ambiguous European accent and it will all make sense.

Swedish people are not famous for spelling (or for anything else).

I played with a lot of Swedes on a MUD, and of all the content creators they were the only ones able to spell correctly.

His point may have been that there are some really obvious, ugly typos, especially in the BIG RED BANNER segments (which can only be fixed by redoing the imaged).

this will take the fun out of buying a new phone. upgrade the dirty old one you have that's full of hair and pocket fluff.

modularity works great on a desktop PC, but I'm skeptical that it will appeal to many people in the mobile space.

ping me in 2 yrs if i'm wrong and i'll eat my words!

I wear watches on my left wrist, but I'm also left handed!

Good luck deciphering my right-handed writing. Although as Steve would say, I'm wearing it wrong.

> Apple products are synonymous with quality audio

Are they?

I like Apple products but the headphones really aren't great, certainly not for what you pay for them (looking at the prices for the headphones alone).

In that sense you might argue there is a certain synergy with Beats...
