#12It's more than incongruity. Context is king. "I like being ignored" is sarcasm. But followed up with "No, really, I like being ignored. Its like a super power! I can ..." is serious (sort of).

#13Sarcasm is a great tool. But there are a couple of people I know who never turn off their "Sarcastic tone", and it becomes impossible to tell what's genuine and what's bullshit. I try to tell them that their noise-to-signal ratio is bad, but they um... react defensively.
“sarcasm and jokes were often the bottle in which clinical depressives sent out their most plangent screams for someone to care and help them.”

#14> That was especially true for tweets that include numbers; their accuracy rate of 80 percent more than triples previous efforts.
Which is to say that previous efforts had only half of the true positives a random number generator would have had. Neat.

#15Like a human being could ever read that text. If you're having as much trouble reading it as I was, open the developer tools and on the body style, remove "DINPro" from the font-family, turn off the font-weight: 300 or change it to 400, and increase the font-size to 16px or whatever size you like. If the AIs ever do take over, my one request is that they use plenty of sarcasm when they talk about designers who think…
You even left a comment on the site writing that. Don't be an asshole.

The funny thing is that I think it's in part motivated by the desire for minimalism. But instead of minimising the form they have minimised the function!

The harder it is to read, the longer you'll spend reading it. And time spent on page is a really common vanity metric.

It actually looks quite nice in Firefox, it is hard to read in Chrome though. Maybe they have the one last web design team that primarily tests in FF? :D

Or.. the harder it is to read, the more unlikely I am to read it. And will instead leave the page and find another source for the information if I care that much.

Fair enough, I edited the comment I posted there to take out the sarcasm and just kept the note on how to make the page readable. OK now?
