There has been a spat of comments criticizing stories along the lines of "what use does it have?" As pointed out previously on all of them, and at the risk of sounding redundant, this is "Hacker News", not "Only Useful Things News" or even "Mildly Interesting News". Looking at the front page of HN, I think it's pretty safe to say it's moved a fair distance from news of only VCs, startups and such to the realm of what we find interesting. This is interesting. It's not useful, particularly well built or even presentable at a sales meeting. But it is interesting.
