- resdirector 12y agoDid anyone else get a brief surge of adrenaline thinking your username was for some reason on the front page of HN?
- prawn 12y agoI expected to receive an algorithmic psych profile of myself based on my HN comments. Instead, I needed to work out if it was an IP address, or a count of how many hours I've spent on here...
- jader201 12y agoWow, how old are you? Like 8 million years?
- S4M 12y agoI expected it to be some random user here who was revealing to be actually pg/Zuck or someone famous.
- alexvr 12y agoExactly what happened to me

- glynjackson 12y agoIt says I'm unknown!
- sudhirj 12y agoHeh. Is this actually being used somewhere? I wrote something to piggyback on Google App Engine's IP geolocation a while ago http://blip.runway7.net/ http://blip.runway7.net/
- Artemis2 12y agoAwesome! Would the source code for this be available somewhere?
- j_s 12y agoGoogle App Engine adds the following HTTP request headers: X-AppEngine-Country X-AppEngine-Region X-AppEngine-City X-AppEngine-CityLatLong http://rominirani.com/2012/04/25/appengine-location-detection-update-x-appengine-country-and-more/ http://rominirani.com/2012/04/25/appengine-location-detectio...
- Artemis2 12y agoThanks for the info, I might try this out someday.
- nezaj 12y agoVery cool -- would love to see the source as well if it's available

- mathgorges 12y agoInterestingly, trying most *nix commands in place of "whoami" returns a page that says "Unknown.", like with seemingly any invalid URL. However, trying https://news.ycombinator.com/ps https://news.ycombinator.com/ps returns a completely blank page. Implying it may be a valid URL for some reason.
- joshdance 12y agoFirst thing I thought of was `24601!`
- Certified 12y agoI was a bit confused until I realized what account I was logged in as... "Certified at 123.123.123.123"
- whitten 12y agoI wonder if this is looking at the local machine for a cookie, or the news.ycombinator.com machine for login information, or if it is a coordination between a private cookie storing an index that makes sense when combined with the database on the server. Does anyone know the cookie format for ycombinator?
- wmil 12y agoIt looks the cookie format is just user={hash}, and looking at an older version of the code it matches that up to data loaded from a file called arc/cooks https://github.com/wting/hackernews/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=cookie&type=Code https://github.com/wting/hackernews/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=...
