Nice catch -- fixed and pushed!

Hey! Just checked out Salient, are you referring to the shortcode generator? I've never used the theme, just checking it out on Theme Forest.
irunbackwards··on Show HN: The WordPress Query Generator, create WP loops in plain English
Thanks! We plan on adding support for things like custom fields and meta data soon, so stay tuned!

Just fixed the placeholder issue! Curious -- what operating system are you on? I'm using the latest version of Chrome on Windows 7 and can't reproduce the "anyone" issue, I'll check it out on my Mac in just a few.

This is definitely doable -- we've put this in our to-do, thanks for the feedback!

Hey jwarren, we're working on making it more complex -- we wanted to get the MVP out for user feedback. We want to add things like support for multiples of the current criteria we have, as well as more advanced queries like custom fields and custom taxonomy.

Hey ChrisClark, these are placeholders, so you can type and they will clear out. We'll take this into consideration and maybe change the text color so it's a little more apparent. Dually noted about the cut off "anyone" -- thanks for the feedback!
irunbackwards··on GoDaddy forbids account deletion
I get it ... but I don't get it. You couldn't/wouldn't walk into AutoZone and ask them to expunge your entire history as a customer of their service. They couldn't/wouldn't, on the flip side.
irunbackwards··on Ask HN: What where the key inventions in the history of mankind?
Sorry, was proposing both as one kind of. I didn't realize there was a term for it.

IIRC, this is what made it cheaper to mass produce overseas, definitely a huge impact on industry.

irunbackwards··on Ask HN: What where the key inventions in the history of mankind?
Railroads & Freight Shipping (by sea) are probably key ones to include.
irunbackwards··on Ask HN: What are the best web design/development firms nowadays?
I'm going to take this opportunity to shamelessly plug my company, Thinglet Software. We're a mobile & web boutique based in Southern California.

irunbackwards··on It's fine to get an MBA but don't be an MBA
It's fine to purchase a MacBook Air, you just really don't want to be one.
irunbackwards··on Gmail was down
Unexpected loss of service is reasonable? I don't think so ... unavoidable I would give you.
irunbackwards··on Gmail was down
I just switched a client over to Google Apps for Domains from a previous e-mail provider due to the downtime issues they were experiencing there. :'( Shoot me now.
irunbackwards··on Free Flag Icons
Neat! I was not aware of it.
irunbackwards··on Free Flag Icons
How is Esperanto classified?
irunbackwards··on Bountify - Crowdsource small coding tasks
This is really neat, reminds me of Philip Rosedale's project, Work List, but with a lower barrier to entry. https://www.worklist.net/worklist/welcome.php
irunbackwards··on How I Hired Someone On Craigslist And Quadrupled My Productivity
Because as a one-time experiment, the subject is likely to do well as the phenomena itself is new. As the experiment progresses into multiple days or weeks, the subject is likely to say, "What the fuck? Stop slapping me. You're fired, I want to browse reddit." In my opinion, anyways.
irunbackwards··on Mobile version of IE10 won’t run Flash by default
Macromedia killed Flash, Adobe has been using the defibrillator for quite some time now.
irunbackwards··on Ask HN: What do you use for chat?
Did they remove IRC? I can't seem to find it.
irunbackwards··on Did Blowing Into The NES Cartridge Really Work?
I thought blowing into the NES cartridge flipped the cosmic bits inside so that it may be played once more?
irunbackwards··on Chrome Canary can now use live microphone input
I have my Canary version updated, but it doesn't seem do be doing anything after I allow mic access. :(
irunbackwards··on Ask HN: How much recurring income do you generate, and from what?
That's awesome, congratulations! Do you manage the PPC and stuff too? SEO?
irunbackwards··on Ask HN: Turning an existing mobile site into an app
I made a boilerplate template for making HTML5 apps in Android a while ago:

https://github.com/thinglet/Android-HTML5-Boilerplate

You'll have to edit a file, but the WebView can be pointed at an http link, you should be able to put the URL to your mobile site and have an app. Below is the file that needs to be edited:

irunbackwards··on Dropbox Introduces 2-Factor Authentication
The feature seems to have been released to forum users, then submitted here by a third party. I agree, though, there should have at least been a notification when the feature was enabled to read the forum post.
irunbackwards··on Dropbox Introduces 2-Factor Authentication
You seem like you'd be appreciative of this service: http://getsecretsync.com/ss/
irunbackwards··on Dropbox Introduces 2-Factor Authentication
That worked, thanks! Also, I just discovered a checkbox under 'Account Settings' that seems like it's an opt-in for early releases. OP probably already had this checked?
irunbackwards··on Dropbox Introduces 2-Factor Authentication
Seems like it to me as well, I don't see any options to do 2-factor auth on my settings page either. Maybe it's a pro feature right now?
