<p>I do not think it's actually possible to patent a cement which uses minerals which are capable of holding a magnet.  If there was a process to create a fridge magnet effect when the product was drying, that would be different. It's an interesting product idea though, by would be curious to know how such a wall might interfere with radio, tv, wifi etc.</p>

<p>I believe there's an algorithm that sifts though each submission if it makes the cut.  I'm thinking if username is part of submission link - might be cause to weigh the submission harder.  Anyhow, those that do happen to end up being marked dead ... it's then up to other users who are viewing new posts (including dead ones) to vouch for them, the forum is all day and folks like me only go back 4 or 5 hours to see if there's anything interesting including those that are dead that might be actually interesting. More often based on the title of the post alone for me to decide to look deeper.  Most days I don't vouch a thing, today just the one.<p>You'd IMO, done better to ask what others think is good taste when it comes to a product that's new or being updated.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if I've seen a pin either though I've had submissions killed off for no apparent reason I could figure out. [It was truncated files from a server, there's a server issue I should know but forgot about long ago, I'm out of the game since injury a couple decades ago, I only lurk out of interest.]<p>As to your bad luck, I couldn't say it as well as msalihberk already stated, but also add it doesn't hurt to reply to members if they've asked an obvious question.  Unfortunately that reply is marked dead so here's the quote of msalihberk below in case you have not set options to see dead posts.<p>>
<i>"It looks like you're caught in a feedback loop here. Hacker News has a very sensitive automated system for self-promotion; posting the same project 14 times in a short period triggers a 'spam' flag, which results in your posts being automatically 'dead' or 'flagged.'<p>Additionally, HN is primarily a space for technical discussion. Following up on that with a 'roast me' thread about a sensitive topic isn't just 'roasting'—it’s seen by the community as off-topic or baiting, which causes users to manually flag your account.<p>The system isn't 'pinning' you to hurt you personally; it’s just enforcing its guidelines. If you stop posting for a while and eventually return with a unique, high-quality technical contribution without self-promoting, you’ll likely find that the system (and the users) will be much more receptive."</i></p>

I don't mind the folks at NSA knowing I like certain movies, porn actresses, fancies or whatever kinks I might have as it's of little interest to them ...

<p>I was actually giving an example of the many things that have changed in the US since the 70s but higher fructose does actually play a part, not that the powerful food industry wants anyone to know half of the little tricks to make food more enticing.<p>There is little doubt ... very large emphasis on ...  eating better / healthier, exercise and good sleep are all part of staying healthy and at a good weight.<p>Fructose does though make a difference to the digestive systems <i>normal</i> function.  I would post the study from a few years ago by a leading US university that basically reaffirmed a study that was published in <i>New Scientist</i> in the late 90s; but there have been many <i>studies / papers</i> published since then that ... well sounds more like folks from the powerful food industry have been busy, but it sure thins out the more useful studies.<p>However a good example is myself.  Recently I switched back from a glucose based sugar to sucrose with is 50:50 fructose glucose when it breaks down in the body.  End of 24 I had been 81 kg, about right for my frame but not much fat.  I have a dehydration related medical issue ... it turns out the more fat means the body can store a bit more water for times when I don't absorb water from the gut.  I was 86 - 87 kg for 2025 ... starting February 2026 this year I switched back to sucrose though laziness mostly (it's also wet season so didn't want to open a large bag of dextrose) ... I'm about doing the same each day, I am eating less [1] but also not doing as much ... my weight sky  rocketed to 97 - 98 kg presently.  Not all people might be the same.  I could also give the long example of how I someone back in the 90s  who had taken to cycling to the nearest town 30 miles away - after reading a study, dropped sucrose and used glucose and a sweetener and lost a bit over 25 kg, a lot more than I wanted, not in the expected 14 months but closer to 3 months - I stopped because the bones of my arse hurt sitting on a hard chair and didn't want to carry a cushion around.<p>[1] Basic quick oats serve with tablespoon of sugar for breakfast, a couple cups of coffee, 3 teaspons of sugar each, a couple light meals though the rest of day, presently a couple chiko rolls and maybe a soup.</p>

<p>I can relate - I have a full boar nut case bro who about 4 - 5 years ago started to hone in what he would eat and this of course spilled over into what he objected to my parents eating.  While freaking out about seeds or any oils derived from them, he'll instead use thick slices of butter on whatever he eats.  Not bread though :)  Funny thing is he has supposedly has a pancreatic issue - oh how he argues with my father when he gets out old medical books that state eating excess fat like butter isn't good for his supposed condition.  I say supposed because I don't trust anything that leaves his lips ... and  he's always got something worse in about the same place  when someone has had themselves a very nasty injury.</p>

<p>I hope it matures but it helps if any competition can actually accommodate users using legacy gear and OS.  Google still does this and it really shouldn't take that much more code to do that.  I'd suggest try AI to help code for legacy, but AI might not know how to do that though :)<p>As for 28 years ... 10 results that's more recent.  Google used to offer more results per page until they worked out the more people clicked ... wasted time ... the more ad revenue it made for them.<p>Otherwise, yes AI can't be relied on making a good summary.  I used to till 2015 do research to manually confirm data for various people who wanted to be sure.  Back then too many sites and places didn't have the most accurate information being second hand information or the summary was dumbed down and some of the nuance was lost.</p>
