Then try to get a bid approved as a newcomer. With all of the language in the bids, you'll never get a contract unless you've done a lot of these over cost, underperforming jobs and greased enough hands along the way. If you ever want to get a good dose of anger, read some government requests for bids. They're totally geared towards existing large companies.

He may be referring to Google's internal tracking, which is likely far more personal than GA.

You could try Listhub, but they charge. Any other source would most likely not be legally obtained.

Realtor.com is more like Redfin in that it's owned by a third party, but it does have the blessing of Realtors to get all of the MLS information.

Negative comments are appropriate in this case. This looked so amazing, but the comments here point out the very important fact that this requires access to the internet to function, something that the co-founder so far hasn't addressed in the comments despite numerous requests for an answer.

Oddly enough, I thought the same as you, but it actually says that rule is for accounts less than a year old, so I guess he's technically okay.

I was about to make a snarky reply about your complaint, but first I wanted to remind myself what HN was like when it first started and I had my original account. So I headed to the archives and realized I'd forgotten how great HN was in 07/08. So thanks for the nostalgic moment.

Data has a definition. The author didn't use any data to back up his antecdotal claims. Seems pretty clear cut to me.

This is why they want the information blocked. If you look at the list of blocked names, it's the government and the wealthy.

I've heard him talking before, and this doesn't surprise me at all. He has a definite mean streak, and he's almost gleeful about being nasty.

Some places test for drugs in your system along with the polygraph test since beta blockers are sometimes used to help beat the test.

Anthem said they wouldn't be sending emails, so that may have been a scam:

"Members who may have been impacted by the cyber attack against Anthem, should be aware of scam email campaigns targeting current and former Anthem members. These scams, designed to capture personal information (known as "phishing") are designed to appear as if they are from Anthem and the emails include a "click here" link for credit monitoring. These emails are NOT from Anthem."

With a modern submachine gun, you actually twist the handles away from each other in a way that compensates for the drift of the barrel that occurs when using full auto.

Home Depot is terrible at actually tracking their inventory. There app is useless when it tells you where the item is, only to find out that they actually don't have any in stock despite what their tracking system says.

I order easily 20x as many items from Amazon, and never had an email saying "oops, we actually don't have any in stock".

The only reason I use the Starbucks app is because of all the free drinks I get. If I didn't get around 1/3 of my drinks for free, there's no way I would go through the hassle of using the app.

Depending on what products you're talking about, you should see if it competes in any way with Google's paid results on product searches. If there is any crossover, the USDOJ might be happy to hear what you have to say.

It's also interesting that the account you replied to was created apparently just to reply negatively to this article. Is this becoming more common on HN?

I agree with naming and shaming the trolls, but I also believe in naming and shaming the people who approve these patents.

Every time I look up one of USPTO workers involved, their online profiles (FB, etc.) show how utterly unqualified they are to be involved in the patent process.

The per capita homicide rate is 30% higher today than it was in 1950. What do you mean when you say there is "vastly less crime"?
