I don't understand why you seem to have to much anger about this story.
No, it's only economics. Back to my analogy, if I buy a bag of apples from you and I find a few rotten ones inside, I'll never buy from you again. It's simple, really.

#42Does the author attend an Ivy league school? If so, why does he/she feel that he/she can or should speak for all the other Ivies? What am I missing?

#45Awesome but did you need to blatantly rip the Medium design?
Re: Show HN: Bit of News
#46Really impressive automatically generated summaries. Of course, there are some funny parts as well. One of the bullet points for "Russia halts adoptions to Sweden over gay nuptials" is just • "It's terrible. Very frank :D. I certainly agree, but I imagine a person summarizing the article would not have used this phrasing.
As of right now, u/bitofnewsbot is banned from r/worldnews :( I'm getting in touch with the mods to see what's up.

#47Awesome! Hi guys, I'm the creator of TextTeaser API that was used by Bit of News. :) I first thought that bitofnews is just a bot in Reddit. I'm really surprised that this is now a full blown website/app. Thanks for Bit of News for using the TextTeaser API.
Sorry for being late to the thread, I didn't even know someone posted this!
Great API :) There were few hours of outage last night, but overall I'm loving it.

#48Very cool! Minor nitpick, though: "news" is most commonly singular, so your tagline should probably read "news that matters."

#49auto-generated? if so, that's pretty impressive. [edit] huh, so that's TextTeaser? https://www.mashape.com/mojojolo/textteaser#!documentation - i had no idea that summaries of that quality were now commodity apis.
Well, why not try the TextTeaser API yourself ( http://www.textteaser.com/ )? I'm the creator of the said API and thanks if you think it's impressive. Also thanks for bitofnews for using the API.

#50I'd love to see a site like this specifically focused on business news. Keeping up with the latest news in business is important, but I've found most business papers are so full of useless fluff stories that it drowns out the ones that are most important.
And sorry for being late to the thread! I didn't know this was posted here.
