Kinda amazing they still are producing Super bowl ads. I'm guessing they're not spending too much on production with babys and cats.

Yea, that surprised us that Clash of Clans was #1, but figured it was something to do with it being a mobile product. #2 is Budweiser though.

This uses ad spend for the tv spot and correlates it to its effectiveness on the internet.

We probably could get Clash of Clans downloads, interesting they're not necessarily selling anything.

You can go through the data on each ad here: https://superbowl.firebaseapp.com/s/view-/cost

The Budweiser and Clash of clans would have had roughly $3-$4 cost per minute on Youtube views. Where as Weight Watchers was at $1233 per minute for Youtube viewers.

We thought that Youtube was a good gauge of general internet interest in the ad. If you liked the ad or ended up talking about it after, you probably pulled it up on Youtube to see it again.

Also not mentioned is that these cards expire in some 3-6 month range and are usually never redeemed.

Coincidentally I was trying to cancel my telephone service. Was told last night I need to create a whole new account to just have internet, they couldn't remove the phone.

This scenario also happens in the US college space, experience from a former community college professor in 2 different states. The students basically try to leverage these surveys for grades. Professor decided to become a full time tutor, better pay and less hassle.

Slick UI, @doki_pen something built something really similar a few months ago with crap.io, its on github:

I understand the sentiment, there should be some way to flag the listing on AirBNB or penalize the renter, but lets be fair to the renter and leave their address out of the post. I'm sure everyone is breaking leases and condo regulations to give out a discount to us.

Ha, once Google Glass goes mainstream no one will be pulling out phones, they can stare blankly at you and read whatever they want.

Seriously, there's a middle ground with everything, too much TV, on the laptop, playing video games. Individuals need to evaluate their own life and valuable interactions. At least the guy in the video made the hike instead of getting a virtual tour.

I've heard about another company offering this to engineers and sales people. As far as I remember both individuals had kids and turned it down, but I don't think the company offered compensation. I assume if you really want the job, you'd do it.

Pretty good one from @whichlight Reddit Network Vis with D3: https://github.com/whichlight/reddit-network-vis

Does Dave know Ichiro plays for the Yankees now?

We've been remarking in our office how much karma people get from these kind of posts.

Email was designed to be explicitly private, where file sharing, well its file sharing.

Has HN turned into a literary club? Despite trying to make it a spy novel, I thought this article was one of the better stories read on HN.

When did he grow a mustache? http://goo.gl/VGrR3

Update: The post itself was almost as engaging as my mustache addition. Sorry for deterring the conversation.

In general the city should make it easier or negotiate to get better internet available for businesses. We pay taxes and thats what we need. I'm sure a permit to do the work is not cheap.

it was ONA Boston, the meeting got thrown in the direction of debating whether BuzzFeed was worthy of serving Political content.

Yes it does need to be filled, for the journalist and tech writes who scour hacker news for their latest blog posts. Not too leave out the random person who discovers Hacker News today.

Mr. Cotton is stuck in the brick and mortar business mode. He clearly does not understand that the Internet has no borders. He is "wholesale" lumping every international web site into this pot of illegal activity. Why didn't NBC bring a VP or media exec on?

Why doesn't NameCheap donate a $1 for every domain moved since 12/22 or last week when all the SOPA issues with Godaddy were presented?

This is all part of the protest of SOPA, everyone has to do their part, if its moving away from GoDaddy until they rescind their support let it ride.

Ha this is great, over at Embedly we plan to move away from Godaddy, our domains are not on godaddy, just the ssl cert (for the short term). I started moving some one-off domains we own last night to namecheap, http://twitter.com/#!/artgibby/status/149995036677910528

This thing existed very recently, where did it go?? http://www.betabeat.com/2011/08/08/rolling-fm-yeah-we-copied...

I was looking to take a break from Pandora, and realized that http://rolling.fm is gone. Disclaimer: turntable was not letting people in at the time.
