I thought this was going to be a post about anonymity and internet privacy. It's pretty fair to say that the combination of content, scripts and headers for almost any page you see on the internet has been uniquely crafted for you and your browser. Sure, there are some super static sites out there, but the vast majority of pages that normal people view every day are instrumented to the hilt with little nuggets of personalized tracking cookies, personalized JavaScript beacons and everything else that helps marketers and traffic analysts happy.
The OP page is far from unique in its uniqueness.
- kirualex 13y agoThat's a good point. It's not really where I wanted to go with this article though but it's an interesting perspective to think about ! Also I see a lot of people saying that they expected something else from the title. I want to say that this was exactly my intention, as I'm getting kind of fed up of having 90% of HN frontpage occupied by NSA stories (I mean it's a big deal, but that doesn't mean we can read anything else, does it?).
