The primary source cited in TFA was itself submitted to HN some months ago and garnered 100+ comments, for your reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43816546


It is quite clever. My own rule of thumb is "add half of the amount in miles, then 10% of the (original) amount in miles". What's interesting is that it happens to be just as precise as the method shown above (ie. 1.6 v 1.609 v 1.618 )


Which one? HN? TFA? Any of the scammy subdomains mentioned therein?


The site linked by the article.


It does not. If you believe otherwise, elaborate on your claim.


My antivirus blocked loading the site, identifying a trojan payload, using Russian text. That's as far as I went.


There's a message encouraging Russian visitors to not support the war in Ukraine. If your antivirus is flagging any Cyrillic text, that's a bit overzealous IMO.


No, there was a Trojan payload, like I said. Despite the social down voting, I'm giving the truth.


There isn’t. Your software is incorrectly flagging it. Please don’t make accusations without proper vetting.


Kapersky, perhaps? Flagging an antiwar message as dangerous?

I think it's quite easy to confuse the two if one is diagonally reading the HN frontpage and sees a headline that begins with "What's new with Robinhood [...]".


maybe dropbox didn’t optimize naming their in-house software for HN readers


Just want to add that 7726 works in the UK too.


I loved that one. For some reason the bit that stuck with me the most was the inside joke they had about all penguins knowing Robert Clark, because they seemed to be calling his surname all the time.


It has become part of everyday life in the capital to use your card or phone to tap in to travel on the transport network. But ITV News has uncovered an operation that penalises people who do just that to travel to London Stansted Airport. Despite having contactless payment systems activated on the gates of the Stansted Express, thousands who don't have a physical ticket are being given large fines of up to a hundred pounds. The travel watchdog has questioned how Stansted can be the only airport in our region that doesn't allow ticketless travel. Passengers who didn't spot warning signs before their trip have described it as a money-making scheme.


they are shooting fish in a barrel, the fines should not go to the local government = severe conflict of interest, they should go to the Crown...
