At first I thought it was a video until he said that the clusters are avoiding his head. It is nice to have video interactivity like this.

Also, my opinion might not be popular but kudos to them for making the introduction so dumb-proof with the video and the visuals. More projects have to do this.

a1371··on What Google searches for porn tell us about ourselves
I find it hard to accept his conclusions. For example this:

> Porn featuring overweight women is surprisingly common among men. But the data from dating sites tells us that just about all men try to date skinny women. Many people don’t try to date the people they’re most attracted to.

Porn is a fantasy land. Many people find these stuff attractive because they are far away from their ordinary lives. Looking at the top views of the porn sites you can see strange titles like "Step-daughter punished by angry dad". What does this tell you? Can you really interpret the titles as what people want to do?

Same goes for overweight women. Some of the interest in watching those videos could even come out of hate.

Great work yo! One thing: the privacy link on your sign up page is broken. You probably want to fix this as soon as possible.

Isn't it odd nobody mentioned that?

a1371··on Ask HN: What is your's “I would pay $5 to get that problem resolved”
I am in Canada so I don't know how things work south the border. But I heard from a neighbour, and a postman confirmed, that if you stick a piece of paper in your mailbox saying "please don't put ads", they won't do it.
