Yes, here is an example of an address that doesn't exist: https://grepular.com/email_privacy_tester/lookup?code=gapz72... If the address exists in Gmail, you get a response on "DNS Prefetch - Anchor", so it could be used to determine whet

So did I, it picked up a Google IP address. Anyone know how to close this? I have images turned off.

Is it a crazy idea to set up an account in the U.S. on behalf of non-U.S. sites and take payments via Stripe, with the caveat that the exchange rate might not be exact when you transfer funds a few days later? I can't imagine the many ways

"You never know who could be lurking on ping". Classic. This should also apply to FaceTime, Messages, phone calls and text messaging right?

An added benefit of targeting a sub-section of the market is that these big companies are doing the awareness marketing for you.

Thank you! I always start with paper and pen - there is just no faster way to iterate and, more importantly: focus. I need to get out of the office to do creative work like this and taking a tablet with me just leads to distractions rather

Panopticlick asked me to enable Java, which I only do for trusted sites. How much identifying information can be gathered with just Javascript to determine how unique my browser is?

A sobering and timely read for me also. Lately I have been considering the cross-section between social-acceptance and creative work: we applaud the work of anyone who pushes the boundaries of creativity and innovation, but only if they sta

To be fair, this has been happening for quite a while and it's nothing new to modern society: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite Still, this article disturbs me and I will be making more effort to shop locally (I am lucky to live in a m

The music of Handel, Vivaldi and Bach et all is not copyrighted: only the recording. You are quite welcome to go make your own piano recording of the Goldberg Variations and sell this. Similarly you can't make a sellable copy of the music b

Considering that people still type www even when asked to go to an IP address, I'm not sure this would have changed anything in regards to non-technicals' understanding of how the internet works.

that was fascinating. i thought i understood the internet but i followed through with discovering what the terminology meant and feel a few times more clever right now. also, overwhelmed with putting the pieces together in my mind about whe

I'm concerned this will lead to a number of meta-tags we will have to include in our ever-growing header tags. Can Pinterest and Facebook not just acknowledge robots.txt or we invent a new tag like rel=nofollow?

Network-reliant apps should check for connectivity during loading, this can take a few seconds to verify everything. Would he rather the app doesn't do any environment validation and present errors when trying to run specific tasks? Can you

Right, I guess I assumed that any manufacturing plan of items put up to KickStarter would include considering mass production and sourcing options in case of major success. But just this morning I had a conversation with an inventor who wou

Yes, of course we all love to be flattered. The issue is that men are not flattered, consistently, in public, for their appearance. By bringing up Rebecca's appearance it just serves to remind everyone that women are still judged on differe

Think of it like this: you are at a professional setting and being introduced in front of an audience. These points are made about you while you stand by and the audience watches you: 1. grannyg00se is a great person to work with 2. grannyg

Why do you see this as a bad thing? It's been discussed on HN hundreds of times that it's hard for women to know where to start, how to jump in and find out if they even enjoy coding. I'm a complete outlier in my field as a woman in technol

Maybe a little SciFi sounding but I can imagine in the near future there becoming a market for obscuring a person's search and online social behaviour results. With the proper attention paid to timing and location, it would be a fairly simp

This could lead to immense awkwardness if used for purposes to meet another of your preferred gender for dating purposes. Given that a photo is involved, and I assume you can decline a seating request - you will more than likely run into th

>the act of pinning things feels similar to hitting the buy now button. Female perspective: that's not quite true. If you want to buy something for now, you'll buy it. It's more like a keeping a scrapbook of things you like to buy one d

I opted out on my main browser. On a browser I don't use so much and don't have tracking disabled: male and 65+. More than half that and not male. I guess I should shop for more pink stuff?

How was Primer democratic? It was made the same way every other great low-budget film was made: a talented, single-minded and dedicated director.

What if a non-profit was the middle-man for placing ads, for example? The crowd-funding covers the donation requirements from individuals, many who do not donate to normal elections but might put $5 on this. I'm sure there are tricks alread

Sure, crowdsourced over time (the bible..). But what is wrong with wanting to understand the author's original intent? There is plenty of time over the next hundreds of years for the work to be re-interpreted. Didn't some of our greatest op

I don't necessarily equate many of the rockstars we know of today as artists, more as 'produced'. For every well-known artist out there who is making mega-money there is a cohort of producers, marketers, colluders. Even the Venice Biennale
