Our R&D team put out a beta version of 'ODN' this time last year; we're up to a billion requests/month & millions of dollars of revenue running through it.

The product lead just published a blog post celebrating some of the milestones, and shared some early data from a successful client test.

I don't know anything about the vaping space, but have seen some of those horror headlines of them exploding in people's pockets.

Why do people have to build their own coils? Do they have to do some DIY, or can you just buy a vaper off the shelf?

I don't need to know Ohm's Law to use my cellphone, etc. Why for this product class?

IIRC, Chipotle's Chiptopia promotion this summer allows users to sign up with a + in their email address, but not log in or do a password reset.

Some of the updates over the last year or so will put Google in a better position to increasingly put quality over popularity. There's still going to be a problem that people seem to trust Wikihow, etc...

Regarding the math problems: do you have an example of a query for which there's a good result on the internet, but Google doesn't return it?

Good find, thanks for sharing that link.

It's interesting that the other thread was 364 days ago, which would have been exactly this same Monday last year (ie: the beginning of the third week of Jan.)

People appear, and have ideas. Ideas need customers (or money) to become startups. Startups need customers (or MORE money) to become businesses. Too much money creates rocketships - which need even more consumers to land.

Real businesses create angels, and subsequently investors.

Feel free to tinker with the weightings, depending on how many successes you'd like to have!

To begin, there are 32 bills on a sheet. In addition, they can re-run the process, but increment the letter portion of the serial each time.

Depending on which parts of the serial number the DJ read off (just number, or number and letter), there could be up to 832 bills for a single serial number: http://onedollarbill.org/decoding.html

Thanks for posting Will! Here's the advert for our marketing consultant role in Seattle:

I'm holding out to see this combined with their drone delivery program.

Probably because it was off topic. HN discourages these types of contribution; they're seen as more 'reddit-like' than the community here aspires to.

It look me a minute to realize, but you can change to any of four different data-visualizations by clicking the large buttons under the header.

I assumed there was a law somewhere I'd be breaking; thanks for letting me know what it is.

That is... inspired.

It doesn't matter how little time I have on my hands, I really want to do that now. Or maybe an app that lets them live chat me?

It's as if that was the plan all along... ;)

The UK court system just picks 12 jurors, and that's the jury - no discussion or debate unless there's a significant conflict of interest.

Is that so bad?

Depending on where he lives, he can't say anything about his thoughts or the deliberations in the jury room. He may be able to tell you the verdict.

I'm "Rob", and also British. In the US I have to deliberately say "Rahb" so as not to be called Rub, Roob or Robe.

The downfall is that you an add a complete secondary interface in 9 lines of code?

I've just looked up a few, and they all resolve. Any examples of TLDs where tld.tld is forbidden?

I'd just finished getting set up on Everpix & syncing everything I have when they announced it was going to close down. It's a shame - it was the most impressive option I'd seen so far.

It's definitely makes me think twice about which service I use next.

Do you find Dropbox works for you with a giant library? I have ~1.5Tb of photos at this point, which seems too big for any of their accounts. How do you have it set up?

I lived in London for 5 years and used grocery delivery services a lot. Now I live in Seattle, and don't use them anywhere near as frequently.

There are many difference between grocery shopping in the US and UK cities, but by far the biggest is that in London, a lot of people live without a car. This means walking or taking the bus to the supermarket. (Eg: in San Francisco, 28% of households have no car [1]; in London that number is 60%. [2])

Home delivery allows Londoners to buy the type of and volume of products you want. (I'd rarely buy a 6-pack of 2-liter orange juice cartons alongside the rest of the groceries when I had to walk 30 minutes back from the store.)

Without a car, you also have to make more frequent trips to the store, increasing the overhead of shopping. Being able to drive to the store for a 'big shop' every week or so is much more efficient.

This would mean that web analytical packages and third party PPC management tools wouldn't have access to the data about what terms people had searched for before they click through.

I guess I imagined that being exposed to volatility risk is something that anyone involved in Bitcoin came to terms with a long time ago.

They could just convert the prize money to BTC today, advertise it in that currency, and not have to worry how the market changes?

Both the Business Class and First Class BA lounges at LHR T5 have meals.

It's a bit off-topic, but I'd love to know what tool/service you used to create those slideshows; assuming it's not all homebrew. The simplicity , the annotations and the 'hover zoom' are really nice touches.

(Fantastic work on the site btw. Looking forward to seeing more.)

I'm the author (Rob) of the original post that detailed the hack. A bunch of people have shared their updates with me, this is probably the most thorough yet.

As I said when I first published the idea: please use it - and encourage others to use it - sensibly. I've not seen anyone abusing it so far.

I've also found that when you 'discover' an email this way, you can typically Google it and find that it was already posted online somewhere.

All in all, I'm glad people are innovating/iterating in this way. The people worried about 'spam' are really worrying about human nature, not technology.
