I don't. Who are you talking about?

Actually, the problem exists in Windows 8.1, not Windows 8.

If I recall correctly, https://piazza.com/ does something similar to this and I believe they also have voting on a "best" answer as well.

Google Maps is ridiculously slow even in Google Chrome.

The difference is, it's old school in here. The content, the people, the UI, it's all very different from the modern social media. I had trouble staying regular here when I first discovered HN but after a while, it feels nice to come and see people talking differently from the rest of the Internet. The closest thing to HN is a few reddit subs. This is what feels home now, not Facebook or Twitter like it used to.

There's an Indian movie "Taare Zameen Par" (Like Stars on Earth) [1] about a young boy with Dyslexia. He faces the exact problem of "dancing letters" like OP. Maybe Dyslexia has variations?

Do you really think that this violence will not come bite western world in the ass one day? West is allowing killing of innocents, including the "fun sized terrorists" kids. Thousands of them. Do you really think they will just grow up and forget about it?

> the two big reasons why Twitter succeeds (vast reach and free interjection) is precisely why it's also a shithole
The same could be said for 4chan and it's still here after 15 years and shows no signs of going away. Can't we assume that twitter will continue to exist as it is right now? But then again, twitter and 4chan are different platforms. People get hurt on twitter and by 4chan. I guess twitter is going to become the next MySpace.

Thank you for your lengthy reply. I'm a CS student and usually attend meetups and workshops, mostly related to startups and entrepreneurship. Nearly everyone there introduces themselves with their names and twitter handles. I have heard this "advice" again and again that if you want to make connections, get active on twitter. How true is it? Is twitter really the place to get in touch with people more so than Facebook?
