Show HN: AI-Powered Travel Guide
https://www.karambol.io
Karambol is an AI-powered travel guide. It works like a search engine and aims to provide relevant travel itineraries while matching one's travel preferences.

As a traveler, I'm quite frustrated by paper guides. Way too long to read! Plus, I feel the editors add new “must see” things every year just to justify the new edition (and the price). I'm also frustrated at travel blogs where storytelling is over-used.

I like having the “best of the best” places to visit and have help building my itinerary. I know many others do the same. This is why I started Karambol, which is a side project so far.

Any feedbacks are welcomed!

Google's LinkSpam Report and Matt's note about Mahalo

Given the interest on Mahalo's spammy techniques, I found this comment by Matt Cutts on his blog interesting.

"... If you’re not aware, Mahalo has been making major changes recently (e.g. putting a lot of noindex tags on their short pages). It’s safe to assume that if they didn’t (and don’t) take sufficient action, then my team is always ready to investigate in detail."

Believing in Computer Science
http://existentialtype.wordpress.com/2012/08/25/believing-in-computer-science/
It seems to me that many researchers who move into political and administrative roles are either bored with, or do not believe in, computer science as an academic discipline. Their own research area is, or maybe always was, boring, or has been obviated by technological developments or scientific advances. So they move into politics, perhaps carrying a sense that there is something wrong with the field that can only be corrected by radical surgery. They then demand that researchers do what they themselves never did in their own careers, kicking the ladder out from behind them.

Harper goes on to say that the above is a "somewhat contentious premise." I agree it's acrimonious; I'm not sure I agree with the acrimony.

Ask HN: What's wrong with our Purple Cow promo page?
While our iOS game was in review for a week, we built (what we thought was) a Purple Cow page that would spread through twitter and techies. The app went live over the weekend and we released the page on Tuesday (and of course contacted many people/blogs/twitter).

We were inspired by benthebodyguard.com and their use of long-scrolling and fun storyline. We intended to take it to the next level by using WebSockets/Socket.io/Node.js to make it a multiplayer-page. Our storyline:

1. You and the hero (Xachi) start watching the demo video

2. An enemy comes in and breaks the video into 2 pieces (using -webkit-mask-box-image for jagged edge and fallback to overflow:none for other browsers).

3. The enemy runs off with half the video.

4. You long-scroll right to chase him, but the enemy is safe inside a bubble

5. You "splash" the bubble to pop it - but it's not enough.

6. You're prompted with a link to get a friend to help you pop the bubble.

7. Your friend joins the page and you both splash the bubble together.

8. The bubble pops and you each rescue the video and scroll back left to repair it.

We got some "wow how can you do that??" comments from the first people we showed, but it hasn't spread. Is it too complicated? Not well-designed enough? Not enough wow factor?

We know that "going viral" is hard - so what's your Monday-morning-quarterback analysis?

Ask HN: How Google APIs Work?
For curiosity I have decided to check how google APIs are done and understand them. I discovered some things but I'm not understanding much of them.

I have used the https://artsandculture.google.com/search/streetview?project=streetviews to check it. In the following words, I will write what catches my attention.

In their headers, they accept the following encoding: gzip, deflate, br. gzip and deflate, are some of the tipical old encodings of the web, but br is a format that uses the Brotli algorithm, a compression algorithm created by google with the initial release in 2013, that seems to have a higher compression rate.

They are also including a cookie for tracking.

But what really interest me, is the body of the data requested. This is the following body:

)]}'

[[["stella.pr","StreetViewAssetsQuery:6b2794d3-0346-4081-a42d-d7083ddb72a8",[["Trench \u0026 No-Man's Land Displays","Kansas City, Estados Unidos","//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?size\u003d400x300\u0026pano\u003dqdAuuOptcfIAAAQrBkpCZQ\u0026heading\u003d-166.0\u0026pitch\u003d-5.0\u0026sensor\u003dfalse\u0026client\u003dgoogle-cultural\u0026signature\u003d2iuo0SS-I4fm1_Wl6jB5HklBME4","/streetview/trench-no-man-s-land-displays-national-wwi-museum-and-memorial/9AH8vCr07x69UQ",20,null,null,null,null,["9AH8vCr07x69UQ",1.3333334,null,null,null,null,null,[]
,null,"0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0",0]
,null,null,null,null,null,null,[]

,null,null,null,null,[]
]
,

...

,null,3452,null,null,null,"CgUSA0NEQQ"]
,["e",2,null,null,13754]
]]

This body structure is compressed and hard to understand. The points are that there are no keys in the body, so there are less Kb of unnecessary information. Is there any process of mapping this information to a more understable information? What's the point of do this? Can make the developing process slower?

Ask HN: How would you securely send Excel files from one company to another?
I am working with a client that needs to send Excel files with a lot of personal data, to many B2B suppliers regularly.

The B2B suppliers have the right to see the data etc. The problem is about transporting the data. GDPR makes this more complex but taking into account how you can deliver a solution that is not over-complicated for the sender or receiver of the data.

We need to consider that the delivery method itself is secure, that the person who gets the file is who they say they are and the Excel file itself is secured. Once the Excel file has been used, to confirm its removal in some way.

You could add a password to the Excel and then email the password and file to person. However, that's not very secure as a password is in email so you could accidentally email the wrong person. Also, very easy to hack excel security etc.

Maybe send the password via SMS – as 2FA approach. However, means keeping a database of people receiving the file who could be an individual in a large company who moves around, phone numbers change. Very hard to keep track of many people in many companies all with secure delivery.

You could encrypt the Excel file with PGP, assumes the person at the other end has PHP to decrypt etc. Same problems as above with how to get the password – SMS, Email, POST?

Any other options?

Any SaaS solutions out there that do this?

Many thanks
