Looks like the "Ad" indicator has almost evolved into its final form now. There's not even any color distinction any more, and they've put it in the same location as normal results' favicons, which is a spot that pe

That's apparently called "brushing". It was mentioned in this article a couple of weeks ago that talks about some of the methods that are being used to manipulate the listings lately: https://www.buzzfeednews.com&#

Even though that's active and has more votes, it's ranked very low (#39 as of right now, and this post is now #1 on the site). I think HN penalizes non-link posts (or people are flagging it because they think it's just someon

So if your public IP address changes, do you (and everyone else in the chat) permanently lose access to it unless you can manage to get the IP back?

This is a pretty good article, but I'm not fond of this recent trend to try to make articles into "experiences" that do all sorts of weird things with scrolling. They always end up being messed up in a bunch of ways if I scro
