    Yeah, someone else posted in another discussion here on HN as well. They weren't ready for the barrage, understandably so.

  Wow, you can actually see the exchange rate fluctuate (not by much) when big transactions hit the market. Cool stuff.

  The Pebble smartwatch has a feature like this as well. It tracks your sleep pattern and when you're not in deep sleep and your alarm is coming up within half an hour it'll start vibrating. For someone who's very hard to wake up it seems to work well.

http://epguides.com http://epguides.com - Whenever I need to look up episode names or air dates of a TV show, this little site has done the job for decades. I type the address, followed by the name of a show (usually only lowercase alphabetical characters, and without 'the'), and I get exactly I want. E.g. epguides.com/xfiles It looks almost exactly the same as it did back in 2000 at least (https://web.archive.org/web/20000815203907/http://www.epguides.com/simpsons/ https://web.archive.org/web/20000815203907/http://www.epguid...), and has been kept up-to-date ever since.
