I didn't see the majority of the piece because the kids were acting up, but I must be missing something. Why is this a big deal when it's the SAME company's browser that the user is using that is showing products/services at the top for the SAME company's products?

Why can't google have their own products'/services' links at the top of all search results?

I'm chiming in late in the game here, but what's wrong with Salesforce? (Only reason I ask is because of the piece that I just saw on 60 minutes Sunday night, so your comment piqued my interest)

Yes, that's exactly what I wanted.

Now I have a problem with either Gmail, or Register.com because the username/password for my new domain-specific email address is not working. I've reset via register.com, then going back to gmail, still doesn't work. Awesome! (insert sarcasm here)

I know alot of you smart ones think this isn't that great, but I think this is incredible. I'd love to see someone host this someplace so I can just upload an image and see what it spits out.

I'm not smart enough to take the code and get it running...

FYI - my parents refused to join Facebook, so they started a Cluster account. I have no idea and the privacy and stuff for that, but it works for them.

I started the website http://www.wrestlestat.com 3 years ago. It is a college wrestling website where the main feature of the website was to be able to view common opponents between 2 wrestlers. There's no other product out there for this, so it's 100% unique. In addition to that, it provides, rosters, schedules, results, statistics, rankings, as well as 2 different fantasy platforms.

Now, is this successful? To me, yes. When I started it originally, it was just a "fun" side project, the first website that I developed once I got into web programming (10 years on client server architecture prior to). It's a 100% free site, but I monetize through AdSense. Taking out my hosting costs, it doesn't make very much money, but it IS profitable. No way I'd be able to make a living off of it though.

So in my eyes, yes it's successful, in terms of HN folks, probably not so much. But I'm having fun with it!

I've been looking into making beer at home and was trying to find some stuff online. Yesterday I stumbled across this website, which not only has some YouTube tutorials, but other cool stuff on there (saw a video of Chrissy Teigen doing something....not sure, I was distracted).

Anyways, I know all of you are into your beers so I thought I'd share. Also, if you have any recommendations for making beer, I'd love to hear it.

I was thinking it would be kind of up to the next passenger. If they are ready to get in the car/Uber, and notice it's extremely dirty, or god-forbid someone puked in their recently, maybe they have something on the app or in the car that says "Report car for service inspection/cleaning" and "request another ride".

Whatever happened to Google Latitude? I know I used it a few years ago; it just shows the current position of a persons phone at all times...

I see this response a lot about autonomous vehicles won't work until they can handle the situations that you mentioned. That's not fair. Those are the ultimate worst/hardest situations for ANY driver, human or autonomous.

In my opinion, the fully autonomous vehicles shouldn't need to handle those situations. Leave that up to the human to navigate.

Fully autonomous should be able to handle the NORMAL day-to-day driving responsibilities. If you're going to require those situations that you mentioned, we'll never have fully autonomous vehicles.

NOTE: when I say fully-autonomous, the car will still have a steering wheel and someone sitting in the driver seat. The google car that had no steering wheel would never happen in the "real-world" only tightly controlled environments.

Yes, it is my site. If this was the wrong medium, I can delete the post if I have the ability (no idea as of writing this).

Regarding your feedback, THANK YOU! I like getting feedback from more technical people.

Yeah, that date (format) is really annoying to look at now that you bring it up. Makes much more sense to have it like you state (5 minutes ago...).

More links - I thought I had WAY too many links (been trying to figure out the SEO stuff also). Just about anywhere in the site where you see either a wrestlers name, or a school name, they are always links (except when they are in headers). I can definitely add the links in the headers, the side-effect to that is then they'll be underlined.

Cool idea on the photos and links to registration sites. Be fun way to interact with each of the "events" and feel more like you were there.

Thanks again for the feedback, I'll definitely work on most/all of those!

Here's a really cool college wrestling website. Contains TONS of information about teams and wrestlers. For teams, you can see rosters, depth charts, schedules, eligibility breakdowns. For wrestlers you can all of their matches results for their career. Site also offers it's own ranking system which generates wrestler rankings, dual rankings, as well as tournament rankings. The dual and tournament rankings are one-of-a-kind. Also offers two different types of fantasy games, one a week-to-week challenge, and also a tournament challenge similar to NCAA Basketball brackets. Can also personalize the website to follow your favorite wrestlers and/or schools.
