News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I used the price system to determine which problems were collectively the most valued and therefore tried to solve the problems that paid the most money.
Isn’t it to mask the search terms that you used? If you go directly to the page the current url including the query would become the referrer

I'd love to see a browser extension that allows this community to mark up existing news websites with other resources/arguments against. Similar to Rap Genius Web Annotator https://genius.com/web-annotator

Something like Azure Storage Queues and Functions may be what you're looking for

Re:Ask HN: What are best tools for web scraping? on Tuesday November 14, 2017 @08:36AM (#15694810)
This tool takes a list of URIs and crawls each site for contact info. Phone, email, twitter, etc

"Why have women never tried to manipulate me?"
A general understanding might help, but IMO knowing specifics is not necessary. I've known plenty of entrepreneurs that have little to no understanding of economics.

In addition, economics can get quite political. Again, a general understanding of why it's political can help here, but specifics are not necessary.

Probably something like Johnny Mnemonic
People have jumped on this as deliberate sabotage, but do we know any specifics? Has the team changed since 2016?
In the EU, when I ask for my data, do I have rights to "views" of my profile?
I tried to create one once that would do this and follow the author around to other articles. Could not figure out the go to market strategy. Still have the domain betweenTheBylines .com
Do you have a link to more info about this?

Privacy WRT contracts could also be improved. Why is my payment history shared with any credit company? Perhaps people will slowly choose companies similar to duckduckgo over google.

Those aggregators linking to the article could be counted as a "super vote"
Re:Show HN: Telescope, a news reader app on Tuesday September 19, 2017 @06:11PM (#15289261)
realclearpolitics.com would be another good source.

re: these being difficult because they are aggregators, could you just scrape the sites to find what they are linking to, then perform the same "social share is rank" logic to them?

newswhip.com is a site that does something similar, but it's very expensive. I would love an alternative!

I read many different sources, but I'm always curious what the "average" person is reading. What was the most shared/read article yesterday/last week, etc.

Something like that, or a headless browser, would be great, thanks!

You could try pressing 'escape' maybe? Works for some sites

I have a "preview" feature on https://www.sizzleanalytics.com/HackerNews that uses OG tags, but I'd much rather use these images. Any way we can work something out?

My comment was WRT the NPR headline itself.
"...After Employee Slams Diversity Efforts" doesn't seem to be an impartial headline to me.
You're absolutely right, I pulled $100k out of the air for it's nice-roundedness...

I don't have any reading material on it unfortunately, no. I'm mostly libertarian, so https://mises.org/ maybe?
