Can we un-capitalize "Nuance"? For a second I thought it refers to the speech technologies company.

- nxzero 11y agoAgree, borders on click bait.
- percentcer 11y agoIt's a title.
- vortico 11y agoIt's a clickbaity title for the paper.
- riebschlager 11y agoThis is possibly the most hacker-news-ish comment I've ever read.

- ctoth 11y agoSame. I actually clicked hoping to read a rant against my least favorite speech company and their bad habit of buying up competition for the patents and then sitting on the technology. They own the rights to the speech synthesizer I use every day, Eloquence, which is no longer developed and will probably never improve, but is easily the most intelligible synthesizer at high speed.
- rdtsc 11y agoYap same here ;-) They squeezed us with their pricing model for years. I was nodding as I was reading the title, then found something else. Oh well.

I think the better and more useful idea would be to stop naming companies and products after very general and widely used words, no matter how tempting it may be to decorate stuff with the associations those words evoke. That never had merit to begin with, and I certainly don't see why general good faith use of language should be restricted by such shenanigans.
- dang 11y agoTitles can't all be unambiguous, and it seems unfair to let air out of this one's balloon.
