I’m canceling my Netflix account
No one knows
Yes, it happens all the time, but at a low enough rate that for a long time it wasn’t observed
* who knows if it is beneficial
The Juul Fad Is Bigger I Would Have Guessed 8 years ago
Yes
please don't post bilious denunciations to HN
It's not personal and I'm not sure why you would attribute malice
If you keep that up, we're going to have to ban you
If you keep this up I'm going to have to delete my account
Maybe this thing doesn’t work
It doesn’t
Maybe they have to start over
They spent $20M. They shouldn’t be allowed near money ever again
Maybe someone else comes up with something better
Everyone who did nothing came up with something better. My $0 solution gets more plastic than this and leaves $20M available for other things
How are you going to decentralize planning around rising oceans?
Once electric car total ownership costs get low enough
What does car ownership have to do with two billion people around the globe moving one mile inland? Why would car prices help during a bread riot?

They are competing and think theirs is better. They are trying to get people to look at the competition. That’s not ruining anything for anyone
We got him
You made my point. If it doesn’t mention skin tone then it is likely limited to one color
There isn’t in practice so you are soeaking naively for no good reason. A company that wanted to shed the term would say something like “seven skin tones” if they offered more than one “nude”
Launch the NYC experience
Nude
Colors
Who’s “nude”? When is the industry going to update this term? If a female person of color outsider won’t, I guess it’s not important to anyone
Starting a Business in Silicon Valley 8 years ago
Ok, I imagined it. What I saw was a lot of restaurants closing and new restaurants with better models opening in their place
You can't grow food on buildings
You don't know how anything works
No one knows what that is
They weren't honest with themselves. High interest is difficult to pay. Only luck would have allowed them to pay
A Brand New Interview with David Foster Wallace 8 years ago
Thanks, but I'm waiting for the right person to tell me to get into David Foster Wallace http://reductress.com/post/why-im-waiting-for-the-right-man-...
Discipline?
Less glib edit :) I should probably give you a tip. Say to yourself, “I am a meditator.” Now, imagine someone asking you “oh, when did you last meditate?” What kind of meditator are you? Are you one that can answer “I meditated today” or “I meditated yesterday and I’ll do it again today”? Or, will you answer, “I meditated last week” or “it’s been a slow month for meditation”?
If you can’t say “I’m a meditator” and mean it, then you should just stop thinking of yourself as one who meditates. You don’t practice meditation in any real sense. That’s the rules of discipline. You are what you do and you aren’t what you don’t
UKL: A Unikernel Based on Linux 8 years ago
No one knows what that is
Golua – A Lua 5.3 engine implemented in Go 8 years ago
luac is the Lua compiler, not a reflection of what language the engine is written in. I'm not saying it doesn't call a compiler written in C, but executing a binary named `luac` doesn't mean that it does https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/luac.html
The word “distributed” does not appear in the announcement telling me everything I need to know about not using it
I don't think enjoying your job and being paid well need to be mutually exclusive
If there is a job, say museum docent, that the majority of qualified people would love to do then the salary of that job will approach $0. Museum docents are usually volunteers, but the chance for an art history major to practice their craft is valuable to the worker even at $0
Billboards are an old but booming ad medium 8 years ago
It could also be that the entire world isn't Austin
I'm saying that it is. If the Austin outdoor ad market looks weak, anecdotally, then it is probably weak everywhere and this article is a lie. Why can't the article just be a lie? That seems like a better use of everyone's time. Just assume the article is a lie and move on
cooler during the summer
Where does the heat go?
Billboards are an old but booming ad medium 8 years ago
True, but “boom” has a meaning. The Austin market looks like a bust. Could it be that a company that sells outdoor ads is pushing a narrative?
