and you're admitting that on hn! The capital triggered your brain to think of proper nouns, rather than just a plain old noun.

substitute "internet" for "cultural" in cultural familiarity and I think you'll understand the point better. This is really just a slightly more grown up version of lolcat. Because cats.

in my experience, the type of text that meets these criteria is nearly always in english, or doesn't need translation - like street signs, airport signs, bill boards etc. Translation should really be "lookup in my language" -

"amazing software" - yet "usually not very productive" - I agree with you. Google (visual) translate is both built on better statistical foundations and works better (likely as a result of the math and the gobs of data g

The very fact that the policemen complain should make it mandatory. Anything they oppose, they oppose for a reason, and there's really only one conclusion - that the cops would rather hide their movements from those paying them. Google

how so? google makes linking to wikipedia rather irrelevant. Although of course it's the very linking to wikipedia (et al) that makes google so good.

"Gypsies and trailer trash are just as screwed as minorities of color." I thought it really funny to be so "politically correct" when speaking of black people, yet quite happy to refer to "people with less color&quo

you must be using the phrase "plenty fast" in a way i'm not familiar! They are as slow as mollases. if you just want to do web browsing fine, but as soon as you put linux on it and do anything else it's like watching sna

the iPhone camera has for a while been good enough. in good light the 4s on has been plenty good enough when used correctly. It's not that smartphone cameras have been getting better (although they have), but rather than people's

you need to understand how evolution works. populations don't control themselves, they are limited by their environment, and thus far the environment hasn't acted to limit the species population, but it will. We've not be aro

why do you think that?

these are far better than the OP's link. There's a reason the OP's filters are fast, they are trivially simple transforms. Doing something more interesting takes a little time. half a second won't kill me!

I don't get why everyone is so positive! The filters are horrible and just very basic color transforms. most leave a sickly look to the photo due to greens and blues.

most companies block torrent downloads. edit - I mean when at work, I can't torrent any large ova's or iso's. Sadly fortune 500 america will hardly ever allow torrent through their firewall for obvious reasons.

there isn't anything special about twitter. It's the people that use it that give it value. your average programmer could build twitter. obviously there are some scale issues, but the value of twitter has more to do with the users

there's a lot of cynicism here! there's no great mystery to any of this, and what the article is saying is rather obvious (we remember the stuff we didn't finish yet - no shit!) but I just don't see all these cynical int

yet, despite this the web seems to be doing just fine, apps are powerful, often better than native and nobody (else) seems to be complaining that much. Sure, some things take actual skill to implement. We live in an imperfect world, and whi

I know you're just trolling, but I think "normal" people visit google quite often, and that's an example of modern web design.

I have always thought the meme was really saying the total opposite, by saying how cool he is was really making fun of him for the reasons you state.

I always write it by hand, still haven't found a tool that does it better.
