Thanks for sharing this link, I had no idea Google had your location history so nicely accessible like this. I knew they kept track, but never once did it occur to me that I could see it.

I discovered this thing the other day, https://www.smartflix.io/ and lo behold, imagine my surprise when nearly everything I searched for... was in fact, streaming in my own country (New Zealand) and nowhere else. That was

This is not very constructive. I can tell you're being sarcastic, but if you disagree with the parent comment, then perhaps you could enlighten us why?

Thanks ekianjo -- he explained the point I was trying to convey better. It seemed like a total crap way to end the article and/or a cop-out.

"It could simply be that they were just unlucky." Right... article started off interesting, and just became rather lame. Fine journalism.

As someone who is deaf, I recently went from hearing aids to a single cochlear implant and it was really uncomfortable for a while for a weird reason: one that this article bought up. I've spent most of my life with hearing aid moulds

Yeah, I know right? I'm sure I read on HN some time earlier that CIA agents / undercover would always make sure their lie is actually as close to the truth as possible -- if it comes down to it. (last resort type thing). I could d

That... was a surprisingly good read. I think most of those points can be applied to project management for developers especially freelancers. You've sort of made me rethink how I attack a few things... You never really think about the

Please remember that if you're going to have a video on your website to explain _what_ your site does -- use subtitles/captions! You'll reach a whole lot more people by doing that. You can even translate the subtitles. They&#

You obviously sound like you're interested! Why not fork the repo, contribute? :) It's a great demo project, and I love seeing these on HN. OP - Instead of linking directly to en/Stanford Parser etc, you should get together a

Damn shame to hear about this Bemmu -- would've felt like a massive punch to your guts! Maybe you should set yourself up some email alerts when things seem 'off'. i.e. no referral, and the user/bot spends no time filling

Awesome read, but you write that Europe has no SV or NYC. I'd say that it does have a NYC: London. London is the centre of finance in Europe. It utterly dominates.

I posted my comment before to the wrong commenter, but: I'm interested in their References -- it looks like each hit is a new hash, so they store that so they can refer to it. I don't know much about this side of stuff so it'

That's how the polygraphing process works, right? Isn't that generally regarded as useless?

I grew up very deaf. I went to mainstream schools, I did everything everyone else would do... except hear much at all. I wore hearing aids which helped somewhat, but that just makes all that jumbled noise louder, which isn't that helpf

I'm so excited by this news, Teespring CEO Walker Williams used to hang out on the #startups IRC channel on Freenode, and talk about startup ideas. I remember him talking about Teespring, and I remember testing it too, on one of my FB

I'm not sure that grabbing yourself a slice of the hype-pie is necessarily a bad thing. Learning is good for the soul, right? I do get your point, if you had one. It does feel like there's a must-have new shiny thing to prod every
