Chrome has replaced IE on the web mono-culture :'(

And FF46 on Linux which makes me think they just haven't ever tried this with FF.

Same on Safari OSX. How hard is it to make a form without a ton of needless crap?

Sorry I only had time to test it on Chrome, but thank you for the feedback, I will look at cross browser compliancy when I get some more free time.

What fun! I like the suggestion here for 'kindness' as a good first search, but don't forget to try the inflammatory ones too! "liberals" and "gamergate" seem like fun places to start.

- Why the arbitrary 12-character limit? There are so many more controversial phrases yet to try.

- I seem to frequently get this error in Chrome when trying to submit: "hivemind.js:62 Uncaught TypeError: arr.map is not a function"

Hi ,yep there are lots of issues, I only started developing this yesterday- I should be able fix it now, basically that occurs if no results are returned, maybe due to censorship (if it is a harsh term).

[EDIT] The arr.map issue should be fixed now - thanks for the heads up [EDIT] Also fixed text overflows in bubbles

I typed in Ada as in Ada programming language. That one will get obscure or interesting results. Results: "is short for (Ada Lovelace?); is enforced by (semi-accurate if DOD); is bullshit (popular opinion); is invisible fallout 4 (used there?); is op (huh?); is missing fallout 4 (meant to be used for gaming?). So, three answers are a definite hit, one way off, and two might reveal a secret deployment that's a sign of things to come in gaming. Same kind of results you get using the Ada compiler to assess program correctness. Interesting...

I am just updating the page so when you click on the speech bubble it actually takes you to the google results, give me 10 mins.

[EDIT] The bubbles now take you through to the offending results.

[EDIT] Just some further information. I started building this yesterday and I am now happy with the result. It works by sending CORS requests via a yahoo to the google suggestions algorithm . I have now completed the project and am happy with it, so any feedback or suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

PS I posted this 6 hours ago, but it crashed, it should now be ok for a while.

Try "Clinton", "Trump", and "Sanders" and be horrified/confused
[+] nickpsecurity|9 years ago|reply
Trump gives: is a Democrat; is love trump is life; is awesome; is right; is good; is Mussolini. Based on three of those, I conclude the algorithm is a fascist and correctly identifying with one of its own. This alliance with a secret, state apparatus explains aspects of my Ada answer in another comment where it was concerned with enforcement and had Fallout 4's trade secrets.

Mindless fun:

Agile: "is bad, is dead, is not a methodology"

God: "is dead, is not dead"

Cena : "is dead"

Capitalism: "is good, is bad"

Google: "is Skynet"

Apple: "is better than Samsung, is better than Android, is a fruit"

42 : "is the answer"

Facebook "is dead"

Twittter "is dying"

Most of the apps I use are dead or dying.
