Never underestimate the value of a disgruntled employee.


Wow. Looking forward to updates about the response you've gotten and your improved situation (hopefully).


What would you say if I told you I saved 396 - manually?


I'd say you used a tablet.


Interesting how hosting one's Wordpress on Heroku can render a link that much more clickable on HN.


Why do I want to post a longer Tweet? And if I do, why don't I just post somewhere else and link it on Twitter?


Sometimes you want say one more sentences or two. Would you create a webpage just for that?


I guess not. But isn't that what your service is basically doing? And why wouldn't I just break it into two Tweets?


The service don't break it into tweets. It automaticaly create "that page" and add a link to it. Now this is the "short answer", if it the person reading tour tweet also happen to have the extension, he don't need to leave the browser to see the "longer version".

You should definitely try it and see how practical it is.


I upvoted this. Now I feel bad. Is this HN-appropriate?

Sincerely,

A Noob.


Accompanying headline: My Kid With AP Credits Will No Longer Be Applying to Dartmouth


Or, what's more likely for most people: Kids with AP Credits Will Now Have Slightly More Debt After Graduating From Dartmouth.


Twist ending: Dartmouth reconsiders decision to drop AP credits


Wait, why will they have more debt than non-AP credited kids?


Not "more debt that non-AP credited kids", "more debt than they otherwise would have if Dartmouth took their AP credits".


Yes, pardon my slight ambiguity there.


No, they would have more debt because the credits AP credit provides are cheaper than the "premium" credits you'll now have to get through Dartmouth instead.


I don't believe this is a new development.


I think it used to happen only if your User-Agent parsed a few specific ways. I did just recently notice the broken "Copy Link Location" in places where it wasn't before.

All the more reason to stick with DDG.


No, but it is a sucky one.


It's essentially used by Google to see which search result you clicked on from the original query. Twitter does similar thing with t.co. It never used to happen on a non-logged in Google account, but now it does. It's been like that for at least half a year. The Greasemonkey script is a great work-around, especially if you value your privacy. Or alternatively why not try DuckDuckGo?


Yeah. Your friend who you suspect may be able to read your thoughts and predict your actions so you have to basically wipe your own memory each time you have a malicious thought.

Imma switch back to AOL now.
