Apparently it's updated hourly from: http://hawttrends.appspot.com/api/terms/ If you watch Chrome's network activity, it shows no activity after load, and near the bottom, you find that list of terms. St

Right, but if this was a routine, it would be like, "Thursdays are here, yes! I get my latest payload at 2:30pm"

So the word "routinely" shows up twice in the article but fails to specify how often. Maybe happened a few times until the guy got caught is more acceptable. It just seems like link baited word choice.

You have to admit, the US is doing a pretty good job with that $80 billion/yr. I mean, what's the alternative? Spend $0 on secret data intelligence gathering? Of course not! I for one am happy to know that there are people on my s

True, but aren't they 'supposed' to buy high grade HDDs for datacenter usage?

And it's $25/yr for what flickr was offering, essentially. Thanks!

Ask HN, what's a good flickr alternative?

It stayed with the overall color scheme and felt like a progressive update. This is far more intense and dramatic.

You can add myself to the list of angry users. I'm not only angry because it's just a terrible interface change, but it's an entire service change. Like if twitter decided it was pinterest, only you've been paying for your tweets.

I'm down right angry. I loved the old flickr interface. It was simple and usable. Now it looks like a less functional google+. Flickr's job is NOT to be a fancy photo viewer, it's supposed to be a photo organizer. Looks like yahoo just scre

Exactly. If I own a bank, and keep a shed with all my money in it, with no padlock, and someone robs me, I'm going to prosecute them to the fullest. Meanwhile, I'm just as guilty for failing to secure the holdings of my customers. Now, what

But the whole purpose of the new handouts app is that all clients are syncd. That's kind of hard if 3rd party apps don't have the same ability. Then all you're left with is useless encrypted messages.

Disagree. Here's a current problem I'm working on. I subscribed to some app service on the internet for $1.99/m through google wallet. After a month, I cancelled the subscription via my google wallet subscriptions. To my surprise, the next

So far it's syncing the messages sent and received via Adium. They show up in google+, although they're not automatically marked as read (though I've not yet received the google+ update). Images and hangout invites are not synced. I have ye

Dammit, who the hell changed my title? Read the article, this has a funny/ sad story of how a startup trying to use ethanol to generate electricity using New York's garbage in the 80s ended up getting caught under the light of national medi

Fine print says 2 people are allowed to go. Maybe he will. If he does, he's not allowed to auction it, though.

That's not what they want to see.. they want shaping and staining wood, free boards and wires, etc. They want nothing => something, essentially.

Although he did say he doesn't feel comfortable recording his own manufacturing process as he feels it's an intellectual property violation. A time-lapse wouldn't be as revealing, but there's a chance etsy might reject it, I guess.

I think some of your stats are a little excessive, nonetheless, and to some extent, I agree. Still though, It really left a bad feeling when the author went on about how much money he was saving. My undertone (could have been more clear) wa

If you are a developer, why the hell would you make your daily life more complicated? Who cares if you save some money, this is your job! There are really two problems here. 1. Your life is now even more dependent on an internet connection.
