The worst comment: "How do you know Uber drivers use iPhones exclusively?" -tinkerrr Can't believe I spewed such hate

Same here:

"If you have multiple modes you can basically reuse the entire keyboard for commands. That's one advantage that is impossible to achieve in non-modal editors. Ctrl-ing, Alt-ing, Shift-ing stuff just isn't the same, especially as those commands get more and more complex."

I bet you that the algorithm could be adjusted to consider comments that meet the following criteria:

(1) If user has the most upvoted comment in any thread (2) Check if that thread had a lot of flamewar language.

If so, return that as the most hateful comment. I'm only half joking about using this approach.

Lose the sound, please- or at least warn people so they can turn off their speakers in an office.

Like every other site on the internet with game-ified comment scoring (starting perhaps with Slashdot), it mostly encourages groupthink and discourages dissenting views from being expressed.

OTOH, at least HN lets you create throwaway accounts easily.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It is! My most hateful comment is about the Apple Air: "Please provide an example why a screw or removable panel would provide less value to the consumer than gluing the thing and making it impossible to replace the battery on your own. I eagerly await your response."

Reliability. Screws come loose, especially when flexed in a pocket etc. Its considered a win in mechanical engineering circles when you remove a screw from a design.

I look forward to metal-air batteries, where the charge can be expected to exceed the lifetime of the device.

@KevinMcAlear. I found a serious flaw in your algorithm's results.

Your own hate score is 3.61% Should not this post and the creation of Hater News itself up your score to 100%?

My own score is an even lower 2.06%. What gives? Maybe this comment will give me some points.

It couldn't find me on HN then ran some auto play video.

Sorry! The site has been getting hammered with people so it keeps crashing. Trying to scale it up now. It has to make a separate API calls for each of your comments (max 50) so it takes a while and since there are so many people using it sometimes it times out...

Background jobs are good for this sort of thing. Hope it's not being done in a controller...

I got a score of 3.27%. That said, the methodology here is totally broken. I expected my worst comment to be related to one of the many gender debates on HN, but no. Apparently, it's this : ---------------------- You can try "Masters of Deception: The Gang that Ruled Cyberspace". It's a fictionalized retelling of the stories of the two prominent BBS hacker/phreaker groups during the 80s and early 90s. It's not really…

The last two letters of the "bulletin board system" abbreviation might be what the software is latching on to.
