What do you mean by "ip addresses in your network"? Is it the IP address I use to sign up for the service? I can't seem to specify a range after login, only an email to send the notification to. (an aside: it appears that the notification email can be different than the email I signed up with -- could cause a spam issue)

Also, I'd love to specify just a domain to look for, not an ip range.

I have no suggestions on how to find a date, sorry. But if I may add to the discussion more broadly, I think a lot of dating/relationship issues are stemming from changing social norms and technology. I've been following similar issues in Japan assuming we'll see similar results in the US https://www.google.com/search?q=japan+marriage+problem

Measure the hours you spend on each task, then view them in aggregate.

If you were your only employee, would you be happy with the output?

Pair up with another solo shop for pairing/code reviews.

How much of the money that would be re-injected into these communities was taken via taxes in the first place?

Can it be decentralized?

What about a browser extension that allows users to "rate" each story/author?

You could follow other users you trust, and get an aggregate of their ratings so you wouldn't just get the global rating, which could be corrupted.

similar site I made for political news :-) https://www.hoffmanreport.com/

I would add a "tweet" link, and a link to instapaper myself.

I've used Evernote web clipper.

With regard to the $1T platinum coin, sounds like more people should read "Man, Economy, and State" https://mises.org/library/man-economy-and-state-power-and-ma...

There is a lack of understanding around money and currency, and how they come to exist in an economy.

A site we've been working on for a while that does something similar, but with d3.js and dc.js to bring the charts to life: https://www.sizzleanalytics.com

Very true, it would not make a perfectly anonymous voting system, but I think it could prevent some fraud.

You could take steps to separate the name from the vote of course. e.g. After the person confirms their identity somehow, give them a random number that only they see/have access to, associate the vote with that number.

The "repos" could be made public and you could confirm your vote afterwards. No vote could be "changed" if it was in a chain of hashes...

Your point about timestamp is true. And although I personally think we could stand to be more open about how we vote (and also more accepting of others) I agree anonymity is important.

Perhaps a system like this would be efficient enough to greatly reduce the voting time window. Make it harder to determine who voted by timestamp due to "noise". (or perhaps, can't vote unless there are 5 people present... not a perfect solution, just throwing some ideas at the wall.)

I'm pretty sure most voter fraud/electronic count type issues can be solved with git (and/or blockchain). Anyone working on that?

This is true. Without OAuth, I was not able to connect to individual user accounts. I wanted to allow users to display their own upvote/post history (see here: https://www.sizzleanalytics.com/reddit/)

I was unaware of the algolia api, that will help for future tasks I'm sure. Thanks!

That's a great idea, and I'll definitely look into that for next time. When I started that command, I had no idea how long it would take :-) lucky for me, I could continue to work on a different machine.

Thanks - was not aware of grab-site, I'll check it out!

I noticed the Hacker News dataset that was published to big query was now a year out of date.

I have created an updated copy and made it available for download.

(This is the last 10MM entries, I can add the rest if people are interested.)

Love the simplicity. Wish it was powered by RxJS https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS

Why this tweet then from today? https://twitter.com/KimDotcom/status/791364506425315328

Saying to use the NSA to get them?

If the email list gets large enough, some people will get the email way before others.

If I see the email in my inbox but it's a couple hours old, I'll still just delete it.

I think completely random might help open rates

this website does not use or require dropbox

This tool is great, but I wish the UI looked a little more like instapaper.com

Hello HN,

I am one of the developers that built sizzleanalytics.com. We built this tool using d3, dc, and crossfilter.

We'd love for it to become the "github for data visualizations". You can upload your own data, clone or fork public visualizations, or keep your data private, all for free.

We're actively building out new features, so we'd love to hear your thoughts.

If you're interested in how we gathered the data for this visualization, here is a blog post about it: http://aaron-hoffman.blogspot.com/2016/10/hacker-news-datase...

Archives of all 10MM json files are available there as well.

Here are a couple good alternatives to mass media.

An interactive visualization like this could help drive the point home https://www.sizzleanalytics.com/Boards/sizzle/Spotify-Top-Tr...

it just changed from Apache yesterday https://github.com/AnyChart/graphicsjs/commit/ea38d3ac71a325...

For this situation I would recommend a "Windows Forms" app. You can include the framework/base class library bits you need in the distribution package if you think they won't already be available on the machine

Any OData love? http://www.odata.org/
