Am I crazy or is there nothing here? I see an abstract, a link to some unrelated search, “research areas” (another unrelated link) then a footer with a link to their team. Where do I actually read about beyondcorp?
Seems like it has more information.
There's a journal ref right there under the name of the paper
`;login:, Vol. 39, No. 6(2014), pp. 6-11`
my friend you're accessing this information (my comment and this link) on a device that is connected to the internet and you're upset that some resource doesn't spoon feed you (even though it does).
> What am I supposed to do with that?
here's a hint: the domain that this link is on is the name of a company that revolutionized information retrieval on the internet about 20 years ago. so much so that that same word (the name of the company) has become synonymous with information retrieval itself. so I suggest that what you're supposed to do with journal reference is put all these obvious factoids to good use and try to retrieve some information :)
You know what actually revolutionized information retrieval, more than 30 years ago? The World Wide Web, which shipped with these things called “hyperlinks” from the very beginning. You know, that thing that lets you click on them and open a document.

Saying “here’s the page for this thing, but we’re just going to give you some search terms for it so that you can enter them into a proprietary search engine and hopefully maybe dig up the real thing” is only a revolution in how huge of a step backwards it is from what we had 30 years ago.

Y’know, you’re right, I’m such an idiot. Why does HN even have links? Surely we don’t need to be spoon fed, we’re all smart enough to Alphabet something so why not just have every discussion contain a search term only? No, it shouldn’t be clickable, we should all independently copy/paste the headline and see what we all come up with when searching for it. Links are such a huge step backwards from this revolutionary search idea.
Oh and why stop there? The search results themselves can just be more search terms to use! We won’t even need the web any more, we’ll just do search terms all the way down. So revolutionary.
Why not link straight to the pdf? The URL we’re commenting on certainly seems like it’s supposed to be the canonical URL for the publication on BeyondCorp, but it seems like all it does is show an abstract and a link for you to search for the actual publication. This seems kinda backwards.
Like imagine I’m a startup selling widgets and I make a widgets.biz website, but all that website says is “I dunno just search for us lol, go away” and links to a google search for widgets. It would seem kinda silly, no?
