Because it's easy to see the shortcomings of something, and hard to see the potential, especially the potential for sea-change products.
If it was easy to create or see the potential of universe denting products, then everyone would do it. But it's hard.
This is so common, not just amoung the HN crowd, that the proverbial phrase "missing the forest for the trees" exists to describe it.
Of course, we could just also say "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame."
- simi_ 12y agoI don't think Project Ara be a major breakthrough of any kind, yet I'm still very excited about it. This (hacking for hacking's sake) is exactly what I imagined HN would get excited about, but instead I only hear some obvious arguments and negativity. Let's rename this site to Serious Business News, shall we?.
- jshevek 12y ago>> Let's rename this site to Serious Business News, shall we?. Yes. Hackers may be practical and honest about limits, but they focus more on potentials, possibilities. Hackers get excited about projects like Ara. Hackers ask: what can be done with this? Rather than say foolish things like "this is a solution seeking a problem".
