Wish I could click and get Netscape


There's a car in my town that has a mix of B's and 8's. Almost impossible to tell which is which.


I saw one on the road the other day that was basically that xkcd license plate, a mix of I and 1. I'm sure that even if they aren't already known to the local police, the license plate search system is smart enough to handle it.


I hope it is. If you try to remember the plates of some car driving off, you'll most likely going to remember the first couple letters and maybe what colour it was. They really should have a way to deal with queries like that.


I don't think the law was as much of a concern as prominent people's reputations.


If it had Amazon Prime, it would be a perfect match for me. Until then, Roku.


If only Roku had Youtube, and if only either could do networked files reasonably at the moment...

I currently have a chromecast, a roku, and a raspi plugged into my tv. An absurd setup, I really need to invest some time into figuring out something sane.


I recently bought a Roku 3 and paired it with a FreeNAS server running the Plex media server. Add the Plex channel on the Roku and you get the network file support + Youtube. Getting Plex + Roku setup been the best thing I've done on my home network in years!


So a step further, you could add a user input feature and let people track any word they want.


It's actually on my to-do list, tweetmap.co , it just got pushed to the back burner for the moment due to school.


I don't know that the site is NSFW, but clicking the links on the site is not advised at work.


It's [largely?] unmoderated UGC, it's NSFW.


SPOILER: A year from now we find out this is an NSA black ops project.


Ladar is a hero. I would trust him over myself.


Which is why he would make such a great front for a black op... ;-)


Not only do they have face models. But they have immense details about those faces. Location, relationship connections, product endorsements, work and school connections... After the last few revelations about the NSA that have come out. I think you should assume that it is all being used.


Because it gives him positive press. Plain and simple.


How about a text field that allows you to write something about them. "Dude with weird hair, works for Widgets Inc. Said he was divorced but had a daughter in college." Then make that info available when he calls me.


Love it. Almost put that in there for the first version, but we were intent on making this MVP
