I'm in the UK and the time on the chart seems to be displayed in UTC (which isn't even the timezone I'm in right now). The time shown starts at 10:15am when it should be starting at 5:15am according to the legend:

>Service starts at 5AM on Mondaymorning. Each line represents thepath of one train. >Time continuesdownward, so steeper lines indicateslower trains.

Has anyone else noticed this issue? (Arch Linux, Chrome: 35.0.1916.114)

That's a +1 from me, I'd love an open-source version for self-hosting. I'd additionally be happy to pay for the "licence to self host" or something silly like that as long as I can see the code somehow (which is a big deal for me).

You're right, same with edit-with-emacs on chrome. Shame, the editor looks nice but I definitely wouldn't want to give up my own editor functions for it.

> Anyone who is concerned about security shouldn't be giving their password to a 3rd party to verify [even via a javascript webpage] for any reason.

I'd agree but I don't think anyone who reads hacker news is likely to use a password checker anyway. We all, however, know less technical people who could and would get compromised by something like this and to have it endorsed by the government sends the message that it is safe. That's the problem as far as I'm concerned.

I've got to say I've got a definite softspot for DuckDuckGo, but I always struggle to see bing as a contender. Now it might be for the reasons you mention (Microsoft not giving it enough TLC) but it does make it difficult to switch.

That being said I make sure that DuckDuckGo is always one keypress away, I still haven't managed to make it to a full switch but I try and use it more and more.

Sorry when you say native versus Java what do you mean? As far as I was concerned all native apps are java?

I appreciate the clearly marked "Appeal to authority" as it is both relevant information and clearly marked as to it's (unintended I assume) auxiliary consequences. Very classy move, will be copying it in future.

I don't really think your comment makes sense, if you and I are juggling balls and suddenly you throw up your hands and shout "I can't take any more balls" do you think I should pick up more balls and throw them at your face or should I leave them on the ground (which in this analogy would be level 3 dropping the packets)

I was going to say, seems very classy, but what do you expect from someone that calls their framework martini. :)

That was my first thought too but I figured they couldn't be referring to that. :)

So, I feel like I might be being stupid and not getting something, but what is turtle? I can't find a programming language that seems to be related to it.

Wow... I don't even have words. I get that your comment is supposed to be dark humour but that's pretty heartless, this guys got actual troubles.

I don't have this working on chrome (Arch Linux, chrome Version 34.0.1847.132). Works on firefox though. Also mouse wheel doesn't fire when I try it :(
