smtpserver··on Ask HN: Spanish text appended to Amazon automated mail
Thank you. The typo could be evidence for human interaction (maybe typing in the wrong text box) despite the "auto generated e-mail" warning.

The order is 'Dispatched from and sold by Amazon' by the way.

I have DiepTrinh as well and as I track my expenses I know for sure that I have not bought anything on the day they appeared on my list.
smtpserver··on 100-hour MRI captures the most detailed view yet of a whole human brain

smtpserver··on In killing Inbox, Google takes another swipe at its most passionate users
Does this mean that the app itself will stop working or just stops getting updates?
smtpserver··on Pocket Casts acquired by NPR
"Thanks to the mission-driven nature of this partnership, and of public media overall, we'll put the needs of producers and listeners at the heart of everything we do with Pocket Casts" == We are going to add useless features, bloat the app and switch to SaaS model.
smtpserver··on How Booking.com manipulates users
Review scores are also a bit offset. I have tried to give the absolute lowest to every metric booking.com gave me to rate and the resulting score was 2.5-ish. I was thinking about making a browser extension that rescales the values accordingly but I just made a mental note that a score 7 hotel is in fact a score 6. With this scaling the scores on the lower end gain more as a 3.3 score becomes a 5. Take this into account if you opt for the lower-middle end.

smtpserver··on How Much Do CT Scans Increase the Risk of Cancer?
I think that stating CT scans have a dose of 150 times as much as an xray has means almost nothing to anybody who is in the target audience and can be considered a harmful statement. It is analogous to stating that with a 5 gig data cap you shoul download a plain text version of book instead of a pdf version, because that is 150 times bigger (nevermind the fact that you are losing images and readability enhancing features such as formatting)

smtpserver··on Tomo: Low Cost Impedance Tomography, Alternative to MRI, CT
I don't see how is this an alternative to CT or MRI. It is more likely analogous with regard to the principle of imaging, not an alternative.
smtpserver··on Show HN: Sleep Calculator – wake up feeling refreshed
I don't know if it is automatical or you enable the machine translation in the Play Store, but the app headline is translated really poorly to Hungarian. The description is in English though.
