If that strategy worked, spammers could use it in gmail to void spam filter utility. I'm sure the volume of legitimate requests would help drown that noise.

Don't really think that makes sense. Ad placement, site design, ad relevancy etc... all dominate the reasons of why people click ads. I don't think you're going to get much information about content relevancy out of the CTR as you can't hol

It's seems to me like an explicit "Report Spam" button would help. The problem with SearchWiki & "Remove result" is that they have many other influencing factors as to why people would click those buttons. People are pretty good at reco

It seems to me that Wikileaks is disruptive to Governments in the way that Napster was disruptive to the Music Industry. While Wikileaks may not survive in the mid term, I believe what it represents may have far reaching, long term conseque

The whole resize thing is fraught with problems. It was one of the main reason I moved to Rackspace Cloud, but it's just way too unreliable. I'm too scared to use it on any mission critical servers due to unpredictable downtime. If you're u

Huh, that's good to know, thanks. That makes my moving choice easier :)

I moved all my services from EC2 to Rackspace Cloud about 2 years ago, but I'm regretting it. Rackspace Cloud does one thing well - small instances have great value CPU & local IO performance. If your app is CPU or local IO bound, split

"In my opinion the hard problem in machine learning has moved from prediction to characterization." Is this because prediction has been "solved" or because characterization is currently more commercially useful?

Ah, thanks! I actually spent a bit of time trying to find how to format code without any luck.

That's pretty cool. I like the method chaining. There's definitely a need for a 'great' PHP ORM. I've been rolling my own for a couple of years since I've never been satisfied with what's out there. Here's the kind of syntax/style I use on

FYI if you're still looking into this, this comment helped me http://codebutler.com/firesheep#comment_5843350 I have filevault turned on. Moving the binary out of my home folder (and adding a symbolic link) solved the problem.

Same setup. Sidebar shows for me after selecting it from the View -> Sidebar menu, however it pops up with a message that says "Run --fix-permissions first." Not sure where I'm supposed to run this flag.

Thought I'd post this here. Another day in our struggle of working on an increasingly hostile ecosystem for Twitter app developers. We were also IP blocked without notice twice in the 2 weeks beforehand. I had to send a support request to g

All the article says is this; If I went into a casino picked a number on a roulette wheel and won straight away, you would be amazed. If I then did it a second & third time in succession, you would be incredulous. You might wonder if I

If this holds for more situations, I guess the conclusion I would draw is that spilt testing should be done as far down the funnel as possible to generate the most return.

I live in Australia and have been planning to migrate to the US in the near future. However this article has genuinely made me reconsider. I knew there was an incarceration problem in the US, but I didn't realise it was this bad.

I've been here 1184 days, and consume the majority of my online news from links on HN. It's always been like this. Like any social news site, you can never get content that perfectly suits what you want. When you start looking for content y

Why would someone sit on something like this for 7 years? I can't think of any reasonable explanation. Facebook's lawyers also seem completely unprepared. How could Mark not have seen this coming? There's got to be an interesting story here

$400-$500 US at https://www.23andme.com/ They had a special deal for $99 when I got it, but that was very limited and they haven't done it since. Still I'd say if you hold out for a year that price will be halved. I generally recommend pe

Not at all. If you start with a dedicated server you can't offload peak traffic as easily. Always going with a virtual server allows you to scale on the fly and cuts costs when not in use.

I don't agree. I've ditched almost all my dedicated servers across all kinds of apps that I run. I now use Rackspace cloud servers as my universal tool for everything I can. I used to use EC2, but I've found I get significantly better perfo

I think the split is a fairly good indication of how rational someone is. People who consider themselves atheist tend to act more rationally in the bayesian sense. I'd like to see a split between atheists and agnostics, particularly because
