Young person who dresses in a non-boring way = hipster, apparently.

You have to give the trend a name so you can refer to it after it becomes boring itself.

I think it’s just called fashion.

That hipster bullshit is getting tired. The stereotypes are stupid and it all comes down to berating people for what they wear – for whatever stupid reason. Why would that ever be cool?

All I see is lots of young people who know how to dress fashionable.

hipster.. overload..

What style of dress do you expect for people in their 20's dressing casually? This is such a silly label that it's almost not worth arguing over, but I fail to see what expectation has failed for you here.

In what way? And is that even a good or a bad difference? I'm pretty sure both areas are filled with well-dressed 20-somethings capable of sitting still for extended periods of time.

For one thing, San Francisco has a lot more mustaches.

You have clearly not spent enough time in Williamsburg. Or you've spent just the right amount of time. Delete as appropriate.

Same here. 16.0.1 Windows 7. CPU didn't max out but it was high and the browser was unusable. I managed to close the tab but the CPU was still high and browser was unresponsive. I had to kill the process.

BSOD'd my machine... Chrome Win 7

crashed my nvidia driver, chrome win 8 (win 7 bootcamp drivers)

It crashed my browser :( Firefox 16.0.1 on Ubuntu. My CPU went up to 100%, and stayed there for a minute until I just killed the process.

+1. Sent my Firefox 16.0.2 browser into hyperspace on Ubuntu.

Is there a way to just kill an offending tab? Pages like this take over my old-ish hardware so completely that trying to close a tab in the normal way is impossible. It is a design flaw for Firefox to allow any webpage to have this much power. Maybe a setting that forbids any page from consuming more than X% CPU for t time without explicit permission? Killing the whole FF process is far from ideal. I'd be willing to switch browsers if another better handled this issue?

How do I find out who they all are?

They may not want to give names of everyone because it makes poaching employees by headhunters easier.

Thats me with the Rubik's cube -- I also submitted the link to HN, and FWIW I don't consider myself a hipster.
