Makes sense as they transition away from simply maps and focus more on places and other stuff.
You're recording footage of a new UI and don't click on any of the new filters that are available, and instead spend 2 minutes just dragging the map around? Yes, we get that it shows a small preview in the corner of the other filter, you can cover that in about 10 seconds. /rant
That was dickish. (Someone makes something and shares it with you--for free--and all you do is bitch and moan.)
Getting tired of the increasingly negative & bitchy comments on HN. /rant
Sadly, I agree HN was the one place where you did not see the standard technical dick waving contest. It was a place where you could go and people would brain storm with you. Support you and encourage you, it does seem more and more that it is becoming a venue for non-constructive criticism. When I found HN I was amazed to find a tech related site that had a positive tone as they are so rare. I really hope that it is an ebb and flow trend and those that have nothing to offer but criticism will get tired of getting down-voted and move on.
It doesn't appear that there's actually any new filters... just new buttons and new ways of interacting with them.
