Hacker News Reader

I think it is just a clever way of linking to a collection of related articles.

Apparently too clever for its own good. Mobile Safari just shows clean Google search page, no search results. I guess this is what happened to the GP poster.

The submitted url is: https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=y+combinator+interview+...

If I paste this into Safari on iOS it redirects to a blank Google page in my country: https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=cr&ei=yqk0VcmaLaa07QbeqoH4C...

This is exactly what is happening to me too. At least I now understand what the op was trying to do.
