| How is it fair to compare a Show HN project with official government datasets? People depend on government datasets, multi-billion dollar businesses are built on top of them. A show HN project is typically someone building it in a weekend. They’re not even remotely in the same league. Sure it is expensive to check every number, but at least some of it can be automated and flagged for human review, no? Switching lat/long numbers. For example |

| >Sometimes the docs straight up lie, and it takes 5 minutes to figure that out. Should they also be ashamed? Yes. Lying is bad, even if some people are trying hard to normalise it. >What about people who don't know how their own code works? Despite it working flawlessly? I think that is fine, as long as you aren't making untrue claims. |

| If they publish a lie they should be ashamed, even if their lie is orders of magnitude less impactful. And if someone publishes a flawless code but have no idea how it works, its not their code, quite clearly, AMD they should be ashamed if they lie it is. It's just, like, my opinion, but I like it :) |
