But does it work in practice? It doesn't seem to. PageRank is mostly a marketing tool.

"The fact that in-degree features outperform PageRank under all measures is quite surprising. A possible explanation is that link-spammers have been targeting the published PageRank algorithm for many years, and that this has led to anomalies in the web graph that affect PageRank."

You can find a lot of academic research on this area: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=web+decay

How do you document a web application?

Please check this recent essay:

What is Actually going on in Iceland http://studiotendra.com/2012/12/29/what-is-actually-going-on...

Can somebody help and make sense of these contradictory perspectives?

Why isn't this implemented on HN natively?

The so called 'exodus' that Portugal is suffering from isn't limited to the tech industry. It affects all areas and is directly related to the current 'impoverishment' politics being followed in the country.

While interesting, this essay is very shortsighted.

What distinguishes a book is the 'form factor'. Obviously we are talking about an e-book. Nonetheless little care has been put into producing a 'book': not TOC, no index, no page numbers, etc.

(Obviously this is all independent of the content.)

Don't call this a 'book'. I know it is a great plug but it is simply not true.

Missing expand/collapse comment threads.

The piece doesn't answer the most important question -- how?

Side note: I wish there was a site like "The Setup" focused on the next phase -- "how do I work".

Down?

Google is at trouble. They are following Facebook on the web/search front, and following Apple on the mobile/media front. What are they leading?

Any update on when this will be available in european countries?

Maybe getting this post to HN's front page would increase its priority.

My suggestion: teach people how to use Markdown and then use markdown2pdf (which first converts to Latex and then to PDF).

Two feature suggestions: view and edit source and pandoc integration with a "View as..." menu option.

Why only "in selected countries"?

I view this as a positive thing -- imitating the best seems an excellent approach. Inovation comes next.

Ironic?

Do you think that something like the deck ( the ad network for designers ) would make sense for developers?

Ads are not uninteresting by design.

Is this being developed?

I think that there are some original and interesting ideas in there.

It is not only a matter of law but also a matter of law enforcement.

Maybe the rankings are measuring the wrong things.

Shouldn't Hadoop users help to document it and contribute to it? Why isn't this happening?

Wonder if diseases are also affected.

Recently I reported a YouTube video that explicitly shows a murder. The video (and multiple copies of it) is still online. This video made the headlines in portuguese 'populist' media. It is really disgusting and I think that Google should really make this a top priority -- not promoting this explicit and real violence. What should I do to get Google's attention?

If you need a tool like this, I would recommend turning on the anti-procrastination HN filter.

The page seems to have been removed from nyu.edu. Strange.
