       | 
       | Putting different sites on different ports, alleviating need for
       | hostnames.
       | 
       | Even on the internet, ports over 49151 are not protocol-specific;
       | they are not assigned by IANA^1
       | 
       | For example, on port 8090
       | 
       | http://171.64.75.19:8090/view/year/
       | 
       | and on port 8091
       | 
       | http://171.64.75.19:8091
       | 
       | http is noticeably faster than https.
       | 
       | Stanford is still providing http in addition to https.
       | 
       | Here, the http url has been submitted to HN, not the https one.

       | I was reading about Kademlia and got to wondering what other
       | distance metrics people had implemented other than xor. Turns out
       | there's geographic routing[0], social routing, and all sorts of
       | fun stuff. Very interesting field.
       | 
       | I also was amused to see what they considered social networks in
       | 2004.
