>I actually like it's philosophy of not doing "useful" search queries

Generalising this a little, it sometimes feels like the world has become all about optimisation and productivity, and the beauty of uselessness has gone missing. Many of my favourite posts/projects on HN are from people who have set out to build something utterly useless in the name of fun - and sometimes they turn out to be useful after all!
