So... a) did you move to China; b) are you really doing 5 months work from home, one month work in a 5 star hotel; c) get in a knife fight?

I don't mind privacy at all, but I like to know if what I'm reading is fact or fiction or some combination thereof.

I used to think the Max Klein posts were somewhat inspirational, but at this point I just assume he's pulled a '419' on everyone. There's a healthy dose of fiction mixed into whatever facts may be contained in his blog posts.

Sorry this is (well, somewhat) totally off-topic, but:

Has anyone else noticed that the HN news items now show the sub-domain in select cases? Or has it always done this for 'popular' blogging platforms? Currently I can see this for Blogspot, Wordpress, Blogs.com and Posterous.

And, peripherally related, for this item as well. Which confuses me a little...

Why do you describe my blog as '419'?

Some people lead more interesting lives than others.

It's done this for wordpress et al since the first public release of the source code: http://github.com/nex3/arc/blob/81576aed622d560fdb3c96a26bb5...

Around last July's release it started showing subdomains anytime they aren't 'www'. Compare http://github.com/nex3/arc/blob/arc3/news.arc#L1550 with http://github.com/nex3/arc/blob/arc3.1/news.arc#L1556

Thanks for the info, mate.

I believe you're slightly mistaken with your second line though - in this case it's showing the subdomain because the TLD is .in, and the 'www' bit is to just strip that particular bit from submitted links that might just be 'www.[blogspot|posterous|wordpress|blogs|etc].[in|jp|uk|za|etc]'.

[Further aside: I don't do much code any more, but it was fun to tickle that part of my brain! Thanks again!]
