This is related to, but NOT A DUP of, the post incorrectly titled "Google map a cellphone knowing its MAC address" at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=298073 . The article intruiged me but I knew there had to be an easier way to send a

So is your argument that bad default things are ok if there is a setting to turn them off? or: That since there are a lot of bad default things already we shouldn't write/care about any new ones?

If you are typing a url into google.com's search box the expectation already exists that google.com will have this data. If you are typing a url into your browser's location bar, you aren't going to assume google.com will have it.

This isn't a repost of the EULA article and has nothing to do with who holds the rights to content. It only has a little in common with Matt's post. Matt mentions that Chrome will communicate with the search engine when typing in the loca

The difference is you don't type in www.somedirtypornsite.com into the google.com search box. You type it into the location bar. This is the first time a browser is auto searching from the location bar.

i don't have a suggestion for a solution, but you should read this about the effects of noise pollution: http://www.noiseandhealth.org/article.asp?issn=1463-1741;yea...

There may be no 4 letter, but there are still lots of 4 digit [a-z0-9-] .com domain names. Maybe not ones that you want, but they're there. example: i48u.com, o440.com, u0-0.com, etc...

off topic, but how do you create a poll?

by coderrr 18y ago
That's a great idea. I think it would probably work, but I can think of one potential case where it would introduce some complications. If user1 sees 'pg' as the submitter and user2 sees 'blah' user1 might comment something which gives awa

I agree... no meta questions would be compared. You can get around the problem that you mention by only comparing votes which are made from the main page and not from a "follow" page.

I think you raise an interesting point. There are actually TWO problems here. One is that there is possibly a bias based on the content submitter/creator. But the other is that, people who are followed will naturally get more votes, just

This is true. It's a heuristic our brain uses so it doesn't have to reevaluate things every single time we experience them. Whether or not this is good or bad is very debatable and depends on the context. The heuristic is something we evo

This is true. But the experiment could take this into account. It could only count the votes which occur directly from the main page.

How is it impossible to measure? It has nothing to do with how his content quality ranks compared to other people. Since he is writing both the content under his name and the content under a different name, given that he doesn't know whic

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet. If you are going to do this experiment, it needs to be _double-blind_. Meaning PG cannot know which username his post is going to show up under until after he has written it. Same goes for all
