I'm not impressed with Namecheap over this. Suspending people's businesses over a missed email is outrageous. What other business requires users to validate their identity so frequently? Not my car dealer, not my dentist, not my w

It may seem, but I would bet that Google takes freshness into account, preferring 1 year old content over 8 year old content...

I think Metafilter needs to spend more time exploring SEO and perhaps a site redesign. It may be a great site (people say it is), but if it has a poor backlink profile, stale content, and a high bounce rate, it's not going to rank as w

Do you find many sites that allow 100 character passwords? That surprises me.

If you're trying to decipher a poem, well that's a different purpose than just trying to find the meaning of something. That doesn't mean that the post you are replying to is wrong. Most people using a dictionary are not tryi

I agree that Google was outsmarted by the NSA. I disagree the show was implying otherwise.

I don't think anyone can use the Internet in any normal way (email, Facebook, Hacker News, CNN.com, anything) without leaving a trail that can be tracked. Anything that can be encrypted must be decrypted at the other end. How can you u

If the NSA can track the request from your browser to the adsense/doubleclick servers, then they can track where you go around large parts of the Internet. I didn't get the sense they were saying the NSA made Google make that cook

Before you dismiss it so fast, the question of how can a person live on $7.25 an hour still deserves some thought? $1,200 barely enough for rent, food and a bus pass. Maybe $25 is too high, but $7.25 is low.

It seems Word Lens was destined to join Google Translate and is a perfect match for Glass. At least they're not killing the app. Yet.

The odds of this being a real issue that will affect anyone are in the tiny fractions of a percent range.

If 70% of their reports are downloaded only a couple of times, ever, I would guess that the answer is that nobody is interested in them. Have you ever read one?

There are generally two types of electronic conversations in this world: conversations that are meant to be in the moment, like text messages, FB chats, HN, or Twitter, and conversations that you want to come back to long into the future, l

The Twitter Streaming API allows you to track up to 400 keywords. For most businesses, that seems like enough. Or if you need 1000, you simply need 3 accounts.

Talk about a buried lede. They are profitable as long as they don't pay anyone a salary. That hardly counts as profitable. How can the service grow?

My company has someone at Youtube they can call if they ever need help. Same with Facebook. Does that discourage you from using those services? Big companies give their big clients a support channel that doesn't exist for everyone. Tha

Unless the creator of this marketplace is himself a provider, in which case he picks the best projects for himself at $3000 profit, and offloads the bad projects to others for $50 profit.

I've never really had a good G+ Hangout video call. The video from others is always so terrible. I used Skype Video for years, to remote parts of the world even, and had few problems.

I don't know either. I've been using Google Hangouts for the last few months, and those so easily could have been Skype chats instead if that was available. They let Google get so far along with this.

I think that was the author's point too. Payroll needs improvement. But ultimately money gets transferred from one bank account to another. The model is not going to change.

You're awfully upset about this. Why is that? You used to work at Google. Were you on the Google+ team?

What if all they did was mark the restaurants your friends have liked, not changed the search results order? So it's just an attribute. It could have SOME value.
