It's a kind of marketing. But yeah, it's bullshit. It's the new "SEO consultant".

So, you clicked 'back', and it took you back to the last page you viewed. And that's unexpected behaviour? I would theorise that the only reason you expected the back button to return you to HN was that your expectations have been poisoned

Backups are all well and good, but really they aren't going to save you unless you are also doing frequent test restores . Only when you've acted out your worst-case scenario (with a set of virtual machines and a recent set of backups) and
