Content of the article is pretty information, but worst clickbait title of the year. At the risk of alienating some fraction of HN community (no pun intended), I'm going to say this is what you get when trying to chase the likes of Gawker (again, no pun intended).

Cool ! At some point, you could also consider building an index: retrieve "possible candidate corrections" by issuing a query against this index, and score the candidates using some combination of features (such as edit distance, phonetic similarity etc).

What does the article mean by "fast" radio signals ? Don't radio waves always travel at the speed of light ?

does it mean if there is a browser just for browsing non-login sites and doing nothing else (do all browsing that requires a login or identification of any kind from a different browser), this problem can be prevented ?

Ask HN: Is there a theory to study traffic flows in a grid?
As a side project, I am building a tool to visualize traffic flows between various points in a model "city" (to start with, I have a simple grid layout in mind) as a function of the layout. See how these flows vary if the residential/commercial areas are far apart v/s close by etc. What is the best way to study the underlying mathematics of it ?

The worst part here is that H1B visas allocated to these scumbag companies end up starving genuine companies of these visas.
