What Hacker News says?
Cool to see this featured. If anyone's interested in actually playing around with ngx_pagespeed, I wrote a pretty straightforward tutorial on my blog to get up and running (granted, I last updated it in 2013, so some things may be outdated). https://dlo.me/archives/2013/05/14/nginx-pagespeed-cloudfron...

HN discussionThere's a follow-up already posted: http://dlo.me/flying-on-the-cheap/ That said, I'm not quite sure what he's trying to show. Is it what days are cheapest to travel on, or what days are cheapest to purchase the tickets? And as has been noted, this approach is going to ignore Southwest and other airlines that don't show up on the aggregators, as the people doing this aren't going to go to every website.
