The best April Fools event this year is reddits drawing canvas. I am already watching it the whole day and it's very interesting to see how the different "groups" interact, e.g. the current "war" between the German and French flag.

There's an option in the HN settings to change the color of the topbar. When I first signed up I didn't know why it was there (I still don't) but I changed it to a fetching shade of green[1]. I've had it that way for so long that HN always looks odd to me when I log out and it goes back to orange. [1]: http://i.imgur.com/r6tbAt4.png

I have mine set to grey so people can't spot what I'm up to from the other side of the office ;)

The bad thing is I thought this was part of the April Fool's joke:

"An anonymous reader writes: A "spaceshot" company that emerged from Y Combinator three summers ago and is targeting a revolutionary change in the way computers work has landed $64 million to help it in the race against much bigger tech giants. Rigetti Computing, which operates out of Berkeley and Fremont, is tackling quantum computing and going up against research being done by the likes of IBM, Intel, Microsoft and others... Rigetti is building a cloud quantum computing platform for artificial intelligence and computational chemistry. It recently opened up private beta testing of 'Forest', its API for quantum computing in the cloud. It integrates directly with existing cloud infrastructure and treats the quantum computer as an accelerator."

Then the link said March 28. Well, good luck to them on their quest to disrupt quantum computing, cloud computing, AI, and chemistry all at once. :)

Wow, I just went back to look at it after ~18 hours and the entire thing has changed. It's much more structured now.

I hadn't even heard of this until now! https://www.reddit.com/r/place/

Someone should seriously do a PhD thesis on this thing. Such a wealth of human interaction.
