Yes, you're right, I can see the blurring in certain cases now.
If I go to the link you cited directly it is not blurred.
But I if search for "How do Bayesian algorithms work" in Google, then click the link that Google finds, then it is blurred.
Once you get the blurred Quora page, then even going to the link directly will get you a blurred page. If you delete all the Quora cookies, then it'll be back to being readable (non-blurred).
Interestingly, if you use Google's encrypted service ( https://encrypted.google.com/ https://encrypted.google.com/ ) to search for "How do Bayesian algorithms work", you'll get a non-blurred Quora page.
- eli 14y agoIIRC, https sites do not send referer, so that makes sense.

- pasbesoin 14y agoI'm pleased -- perhaps -- in that enough Googlers read HN that now maybe this blurring BS will be addressed. Of course, it will be addressed by another "true name" purveyor. My head hurts.
