Thanks for clarifying. I'm not sure how I missed that when reviewing the example code.

After poking around little bit, it appears you need to poll for updates. To clarify, when you say "real-time" you mean "changes are reflected quickly" and not "changes are pushed to clients"?

Fair point. Given that you have to enumerate the topics ahead of time to create an A/B test, I'm not sure how this can help editors see outside their city center. Personally, I don't read newspapers and greatly enjoy blogs with tiny ivory t

I'm not disappointed about anything. You're on the front page of HN today, so whatever your regular audience, your audience today includes a number of tech bloggers. For newspapers: you will not be catering to your audience, you will be cat

Please do not do this. Everyone has a tendency to write about whatever's in the news today anyway--we will spot your over-topical posts a mile off. Have an interesting point of view, or some experience your audience lacks. Be helpful, be op

You give them a field lableled "Name" they can type something into when they leave a comment. Now they are not anonymous.

I had trouble following the train of thought in this article; it may be too "stream of consciousness" for this particular audience. While this may be a problem between my keyboard and chair, I do not generally find HN articles hard to follo

There's one piece missing from the show and tell portion: Can you add what the request looks like in your logs when a user clicks on that link? Bonus points if you provide an example of a click from the non-signed in http version. How much

Today I learned about If-Match. 428 Precondition Required looks great!

You happen to like when ads are targeted at you. Do you think everyone likes these ads, and the ones who are complaining are just whining without really thinking about what great pants they could be buying? Do you think some other people ma

I refer you to the Beacon advertising adventure. Where Facebook was "just using the data we make available on their network," and users fought back and won. You last sentence starts with "If there's no injury," which seems to be the topic o

When I visit any page with a Like button I'm on their network? When they fill in a dummy profile for me before I sign up I'm on their network?

It's not clear to me that ad-supported == targeted ad-supported. The claim that there is no alternative is false--the alternative is less effective (and therefore less lucrative) ads. If you ask a HN-reader to choose either 1) less intrusiv

Woah woah woah, you seem to be confusing "small experiments Google hosts publicly at labs.google.com" with R&D. Since your wiki link seems to be about publishing academic articles, here's a list of academic article produced by places th

Specifically, stacking means that that blackberry's dip makes symbian's drop look far too drastic. Windows ~10% (eyeballing it) to ~0% seems significant and relevant to the article, but it gets washed out in the graph.

Orkut appears to decline steadily on that graph since 2007. Any variable which goes up over time would look like it was stealing mindshare from orkut. Negative correlation is also not causation.

You dawg I heard you like relying on the cloud for backup, so I backed up your cloud data on the cloud so you can rely on the cloud while you rely on the cloud.

The android market is blocked in China? Do you have a link--that sounds interesting.

It looks like you can now login without facebook. Good on them--I will give this a try.

This takes less CPU power but is also far less accurate, as the voice sample must be very low quality to have a quick response time from Google's server. Has there been a comparison of the accuracy of the two services? Thi

The rest of that Zakaria quote (taken from http://www.betabeat.com/2011/09/27/jerry-guo-newsweek-groupe... ): ...In retrospect, it was a mistake—my mistake—and I regret it. We should not have been in the business of covering

I don’t want to stoop to their level and give a point-by- point refutation, but will just let my reporting speak for itself and the love our Grouper members have shown us. I found that this sentence did not match the gener

I wish atroundtable used fragment identifiers so you could deeplink to comments. Or give each comment it's own standalone page as well, a la twitter.

I enjoyed the logo wiggling. Two nits: * It's only wiggly if your mouse if over that element. * This groovy dropdown follows you down the page and covers 20% of the text or so at any given time. I appreciate it if it collapsed or moved to t

"Here’s three things that really pissed me off that rolled through my feed." Some guy on the internet gets offended at out-of-context blurbs he read on the internet about an event he did not attend? Stop the presses.

I already pointed out that HN leaves a cookie behind in another comment, so here's a different tack: is there a site on the first page of http://www.alexa.com/topsites that actually leaves no cookies behind when you logout? A major faux p

Not how cookies work. Visit any page with loads the facebook like widget iframe/img/script -> make a request to facebook with your cookie.

Hell, HackerNews leaves a cookie on your computer after you log out with some opaque blob holding who-knows-what. Users like to complain about cookies when you bring them up, but generally can't seem to bother. Including the two of us.

I'd be interested to see how many competing social networks exhibit the same behavior. Specifically, Twitter and Google+ has similar social buttons. Imagine I wanted to do this but not be get caught. What would you improve? Clearly the cook
