Yeah, I've been wanting a similar chrome extension, actually. HN comments serve as a very valuable filter for information that I learn from, and I think it'd be great if the rest of the web benefitted from that kind of proofreading. Little annotations as a layer on top of the web.
Managing the community would be a bit tough, but if you seeded it with the HN community, and managed to keep the same self-regulating culture, I think that would be a strong base to start from.

> a Chrome plugin
Right, better not support any other browser.
As an engineer I'm always impressed by a 9X speed-up from state-of-the-art, but I'm guessing that "9X" would make tech-illiterate shareholders unhappy and cause them to short the stock?
Would love a Chrome plugin that "fixes" numbers like this on pages based on crowd-sourced human understanding. People flag incorrect numbers they see on websites; new visitors start to see corrected numbers after enough people flag it with the corrected number.
The same would be useful for e.g. scooters advertising 30 miles range (s/30/10/), laptop battery life of 10 hours (s/10/5/), hardware companies announcing "availability of" a certain product when it's actually not yet for sale (s/availability/unavailability/), etc.
