Thanks for this funny read. The announcement sounds like they invented LBS last week.

Simply ask yourself:

What did you feel in the last time when you followed a link and the result was one of these filtered images?

Evolution will overcome this. We still drink water.

You miss a point: When you take an image in the way of preview and shot, your image is like you felt it should be (or not).

Paste it over by a click and this feeling is disassociated from your pic (or as the author states: not real).

Show HN: The long attempt to sketch the world (or at least trying it).

Today our startup went version 1.4. As HN somehow accompanied the growth of our product, we would like to place the retrospective part of the birthday party as a case study here.Rewinding a few months: Our initial idea was to create a place where you can watch random snippets from any place in the world in realtime. We decided to call it Whapee, an acronym for "What happens here".When we were...

Re:Ask HN: Am I the only one who can't create a startup at the weekend? on Tuesday March 01, 2011 @04:03AM (#2274796)
Completely agree. "Weekend" projects don't come up when you wake up on Saturday morning and are ready for sale on Monday.

My comment was caused as I observe an increasing number of these "weekend" or "side-project" messages at HN. For me it looks like the authors are too cautious to stand for their project as something that took all their attention and that still may have mistakes.

What follows is an inflationary trend that most "Show HN" posts are declared as minute-jobs and we lose the open culture of a showroom, where the other mates take your work serious and try to positively criticise it. Not long, and we have sidecars only.

I think it is not important how long one needs for a project shown here. The message transported with the timeline is else "look I'm a genious" or "sorry, all the remaining bugs are from a lack of time".

I have to remark, that I don't think of any particular posts in the last time and I know that I may include projects in my generalization that don't deserve it. This hasn't been my intention. And my original confession to be a bad hacker is still valid!

I always knew that I'm no native hacker.As I observe more and more projects announced here that were made during a weekend or in 6 hours, I know for sure:I will never be able to create a side project in a few hours, setup a website and build the accompanying app to have it all sold before my next monday morning post at HN.I think, I wouldn't even try this...

The SiteMeter graph is irrelevant too as they didn't add the SiteMeter.js.
