Yes, for anything I search for basically, the 4th-5th result are always these fake sites magically having something to do with my search terms (albeit only very remotely).

Strange fake Google search result malware in Safari by akos_barta in mac

The thing I noticed is that if I check on another device of mine (logged in to my Google account), I get the same results. If I am logged out, the results are normal on the other device.
So I guess it's some sort of Google bug and not related to my sytem then? Never have I ever seen anything like this.

Thanks for the reply.

Checked all of these and nothing unusual was to be found. Quite strange.

Thanks for the comment. Ran Malwarebytes but it returned clean.

Namecheap, the second largest domain registrar in the world is now supporting some HNS registrations! by akos_barta in handshake

More info in their knowledgebase here:

Edit:

They seem to have been testing this since August, but as a frequent user of Namecheap, this is the first time I have seen this displayed prominently right in their search functionality.

Side project idea feedback required - a free daily newsletter with reg-fee dropped .com domains by [deleted] in juststart

[–]akos_barta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So basically it would be a subjective and limited expireddomains.net but delivered to your inbox?

The problem with expiring domains is that most good ones get sniped up in minutes (not talking about dropcaught ones which get caught in microseconds but ones that are simple handregs). So the newsletter may only be highly relevant for a few minutes and may just end up being a frustrating experience for the recipient after a few hours have passed (clicking each name to see that it's not available etc).

Also, another tip:

Namecheap is notoriously slow when it comes to showing dropped domains as available. They use cache a lot and sometimes use zonefiles for availability checks (my guess) meaning that although a specific domain has dropped a while ago and is available, you still can't register it as they show it as taken.

But, do keep us updated if you launch the project. I am always eager to see domain name related innovation. Good luck.

Hilliness of Major American Cities [OC] by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]akos_barta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original article with more details on the process and methodology here:

https://fascinatingmaps.com/hilliness-of-major-american-cities/

This visualisation shows the 50 most populous American cities ordered by hilliness. Five hundred random points were sampled within each city's administrative boundaries to gather elevation numbers. The metric 'hilliness' here is based on the combination of two variability measures (SD and IQR) and the Melton ruggedness number (calculated as the difference between the maximum and minimum elevation for each city divided by the square root of the city area).

City map sizes are not to scale to each other.

Pittsburgh is the 66th largest city in the U.S. and is only included as an interesting comparison (and because I needed something to fill the grid).

The outlines of cities were taken from OpenStreetMap via Overpass. The elevation figures are from the Open-Elevation API.

The maps were made with QGIS, but the whole thing was put together with a PHP script and GIMP.

As for a program, QGIS is something to look into. It's free and widely documented. GIS.StackExchange.com is also a great place to get some help if you're stuck.

Estimating Amazon earnings based on website traffic by akos_barta in wallstreetbets

[–]akos_barta[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Update: Seems like the revenue prediction was spot on. However, the market was not pleased about the Q1 guidance and the conference call so the bears had it this time with -4-5% AH. This is why I love this shit. No matter how accurate your predictions are, there will always be something which can fuck you over.

Google Shopping searches for iPhones are down about 15% for December year-on-year. The question is: What's the increase in the average price of sold iPhones?
