I never did. I was just questioning on the popularity it got on HN, not on it being inappropriate.

Ok, I apologize for that. My mistake. But hey, may I know the reasons why do you think that my opinion is wrong, anyone, and specifically you @cskau, if you do? Eagerly waiting for it but I fear I'll receive no on-context answers :(
1. JavaScript is widely known and used. Thus, anything JavaScript attracts more attention than similar projects in other languages, especially if it's outside the box of the usual webby stuff.
2. The API on this library looks very intuitive and utilitarian. It doesn't get much easier than .people(), .topics(), etc. People can see themselves actually using this.
Nuclear reactions aren't a theory about human psychology. It would be really weird if nuclear reactions seemed to work when we filmed them but not in the reality. It doesn't seem that strange that people might feel differently about an object than a video of that object.

D. B. Cooper is a media epithet popularly used to refer to an unidentified man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft in the airspace between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, on November 24, 1971, extorted $200,000 in ransom (equivalent to $1,170,000 in 2015), and parachuted to an uncertain fate.
Despite an extensive manhunt and an ongoing FBI investigation, the perpetrator has never been located or positively identified.
The case remains the only unsolved air piracy in American aviation history.
And another: 30 Rock implies that Kenneth's father was D.B. Cooper. In one episode he's wearing a suit passed down from his late father. The inside pocket of the suit coat is inscribed "D.B. Cooper."
Weirdly, this happened in season 6 episode 10, like the Numb3rs episode.
The European mainland is big on intentional rewilding, but a lot of the time the animals simply walk. Britain, obviously, is kind of stuffed for that. (In fact, we have been since Doggerland flooded, which is why even at peak biodiversity in this interglacial, Britain was a bit short on wildlife compared to the continent.)
