There's really no need for the comparisons. Both versions are terrible, who cares which is worse. How we go about fixing it should be the topic of discussion.

I've heard the same thing from their CMO when I spoke with him, but I think that in itself is just something they tell people.

Seriously, this was a cringe-worthy read.

I've done this once, in one of the tanks with a latch described. It's interesting, sure, but its also really uncomfortable in there. The air is super humid and thick, it's almost difficult to breathe. I'm not ever claust

What difference does it make if the cause is entirely man made or not. Should we let 80% of worlds population who live on the coast just deal with rising sea levels, because it natural? Do you really need to know it's causing a rise in

I'd like to see how the general population changed in the same time, then maybe a revision of this graph keeping it in perspective of how the rest of the population changed.

based on how misinformed the author was in general on the subject, I think its more likely the site dropped off the first few pages of results. Since it still came up when you search for the domain, it can't be deindexed.

Mr. Cringely might start helping his sister by removing the completely unrelated link to his sister's site from his own, or at least mark it "nofollow". It's really interesting reading the rantings of the grossly misinfo

How did you infer the site was deindexed? They said specifically by typing the URL of the site, it would show up.

I'd contend you're the one talking out of their ass. Relying on another company for all your business isn't a sound business strategy. The person in the article put all their eggs in one basket and this is the result.

That, and Google have been introducing more services into the results page (flight shopping comparison, for example). You can see an article by Danny Sullivan from this summer here: http://searchengineland.com/google-results

With Earth-like planets being discovered in far off star systems and HD cameras roving about on Mars, it's easy to forget how much of our own solar system is still an unexplored frontier. It may not be a ground breaking discovery, but

Google personalizes results quite extensively these days, largely based on your location. Google believes based on that, and probably your previous searching and browsing habits, that those .co.uk sites are more relevant to your interests.

No, not if they're all the same website. Take 3 comment pages on hacker news, for example, you'd have to look around the page for context to know which was which if you had several open at once.

These guys have created a new project for creating a bitcoin mining box. Unfortunately, it's vaporware, just like the last project they used to make off with 196 thousand dollars. http://www.dleg.state.mi.us/bcs_corp/dt_corp.asp?id_nbr=042

I've watched that website launch and develop with some interest. Without disclosing any particulars, does the site do well for him? I imagined he was raking in the dough, but if he's still your co-worker I guess that's not the case?

Yes, this was my main point here. It's difficult to get that across without writing an entire article for context, and now that ycombinator mods have edited the title its even less clear. The founders of this project did little more than si

This project has been funded for a year and half with no progress to show for it, only thousands of comments from backers wondering when they will receive a refund or at least an update on whats going on. Unfortunately the project founder h
