As someone that lived through it, two things stuck with me 1. YouTube just worked, it relied on Flash and that was installed on almost every computer. IIRC google video required some other plugin and it didn’t work great. 2. There was a lot

The California DOI is requiring that companies issue some sort of "reasonable" refund, which has to be justified to the department in some way. Other states will likely do something similar.

I was under the impression this wasn’t really believed anymore. The only discussion I can find for it is here though: http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2013/06/27/the-myth-...

It’s not always a volunteer activity in social situations, unless you want to go around telling other people to not take any photos of you.

Don't forgoet that the monopoly comes at the cost that they are required to keep a lot of post offices open in rural areas, which is a very unprofitable enterprise.

Credit score isn't allowed in pricing of insurance for a lot of states, including California. It depends state to state though.

Neat idea, but it looks like the site was last updated in 2005/6.

Moving to 2.x still seems like more trouble than it's worth, but maybe I'm just burnt out on learning another templating system =/

I believe what you want is: http://www.kayak.com/explore/ Google Flights has something similar, it lets you see prices for destinations: https://www.google.com/flights/explore/

Interesting that they show the approximate number of searches / second at the bottom. Is that an otherwise publicly available number?

Does he say what Google search data he is looking at or where he got it?

On a side note, could you imagine Google changing their search results to this kind of layout? I think it would probably trigger a ton of lawsuits.

I would imagine that there is an easement agreement of some sort on the island for residents.

I was given the opportunity to talk to two teams before and decide where to go when I joined Google.

It feels to me like any large company is a punching bag on HN. I do think it makes some sense though, because a fair number of people on here are trying to build things that disrupt large companies and they would have a natural interest in

I feel like I've been seeing this for a while, a couple of months I think (TBH I am not very sure). It's been nice to see be able to skip to the result I used before.

Is there another alternative out there? I feel like the mozilla developer docs are the only thing that comes to mind offhand.

I think it would be a tough to balance between providing useful information to users and not revealing too much to spammers. It looks like from http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answe... they probably reveal the messa

Regardless of the content of the article, it was laid out beautifully.

It wasn't the impression I got from reading it, the text leading into the slideshow is: >Between them, physorg.com and Google value money, and that’s it. > > There’s more on the same page, of course: Which I felt kind of set th

The text ad is the only one served on that page by Google, if you go and look at the actual page the rest are served by AdBlade or Tribal Fusion. I feel like it's pretty misleading to complain about those ads as if they all came from the sa

From my experience, they do ask those questions.

I rather liked it, a bit dated maybe.

Ads on other websites is definitely lucrative business, but if you want to make a parallel to Google, adsense only makes up 28% of total revenue [1]. This makes me kind of skeptical that a similar system for Facebook would double or triple

Very cool to see good reach come from that, do you think it resulted in greater attendance/interest? It seems like the ad you ran reached about 20% of the entire Seattle market with those numbers.
