Re:Google Maps adds Great Britain public transport data on Wednesday May 14, 2014 @06:50AM (#7743050)
this is something I wanted to add to a little side project I called routehacker.com, to create a wiki-like searchable db of mass transit routes. Will be taking a look at the maps api for this.

Steam makes it super easy to get games but installing it is friction?

I am a gamer with an interest in the indie sector but don't have steam because my first experience with that extra platform abstraction - Origin - has put me off. Neither do I want a game as a web page. I want a gaming experience and that for me is still a standalone executable. I even dislike not having a physical copy of digital distributions.

Agree, the lack of self awareness on some of these douchebag comments is unreal. Glad there's at least one well wisher here.

You've already pointed out the main jarring statements but here's another - 'Yahoo! is nonsensical' for closing down the app and integrating the tech into it's own products? Right, because that's not a tried and tested acquisition strategy in tech...

>Do you know whether the current team is staying on at NBC or are they looking for new gigs?

From the post above:

NBC News acquired msnbc.com last year and now has decided to shut down the site and let go all 10 employees.

Sounds more like the day job than a side project.

Flickr's on autosharing updates to Facebook is broken because the Yahoo! Updates platform it uses doesn't taken into account OAuth2 and finite life tokens. Basically it fails silently. My app tells you when you need to re-authorise and gives you a link to do it.

Also enables sharing on a per set or tag basis.

Show HN: Flickoutr Fixes Flickr Photo Sharing

http://clientsideweb.net/social/flickoutr

For a while now I've been pissed off with Flickr's own silent failing whenever it tries to auto-share my new image uploads to Facebook and doesn't have the smarts to take into account Facebook Graph uses OAuth2 and has an expiry on their access tokens. I also don't like the fact I had only one option (share all or none).Flickoutr fixes all this. Built with the Flickr API it warns a user when...

Obviously Google had kicked off their deployment while I was registering.

Totally taking this as a sign for my next app btw.
