- Every time I speak with people about HN, I get something along the line: "They criticize everything, and very easily".
It's also confusion that reporting of a bug is not criticism. It's a Show HN. You've asked for the feedback. People that get twisted when the feedback is anything other than pablum like "great job" need not be a developer. If you can't handle being told that something isn't working, then how do you ever expect to improve? Or maybe you've moved from being a dev and are now trying to be a founder?
Probably city-zipcode-country would disambiguate effectively both for the US (where you could have several Springfield cities in different states) and Europe (where there are probably, for instance, quite a number of `Sainte-Anne` cities on top of Guadeloupe's)
I think we're probably going to get a blog post from you a couple weeks from now titled "falsehoods programmers believe about cities"!
- Damn, didn't know that. I just had the feedback that Paris, Tennessee wasn't working already.
