I browsed HN [dead] comments to see Terry’s comments. Sometimes, in between the random quotes and other things, he would write something brilliant.

I lean very libertarian, especially when it comes to criminal justice and sentencing reform. Private prisons can be seen as a byproduct of over-criminalization and over-enforcement. These red light cameras are in the same world where govern

Czech Texans tended to settle in Central Texas which traditionally doesn't use sauce on their meat. East and South Texas use sauce.

Get some hot sauce or salsa instead. Tons of local brands.

Garage doors in general are a pain. I have installed and repaired a few and that is one thing that I pay someone else to do now. I don’t find it fun to tinker with a garage door at all.

Just out of curiosity, which super hero did they pick? I would imagine that Superman wouldn’t have to be too bright but I don’t know much about his character.

I love Blood Meridian. I read it at least once a year. I just picked up the audio book and am listening to it now.

I have a hybrid (well, I did before the flood) and it got 17 miles on a charge. It handled most of my trips to the store, errands, etc.

I will probably subscribe for that reason. Disney knows this about parents. They are one of the few companies that could put together their own offering

Grocery stores in Houston already offer this. HEB, Whole Foods, Central Market, and a few others have prepared meals. It is also inexpensive and the meals tend to be good Is this in other cities?

Growing up in Texas it seemed like most C-level people had at least one tattoo. A lot of them were vets so they would typically be eagles or flags. I have a theory that the mainstreaming of tattoos comes from the greatest generation. They

Thank you so much for linking this video. I had no idea it existed. Watching that lecture was so much fun. I wish that there was a camera pointing to the crowd when he said the more controversial things. I didn't know that Sussman hi

My Steelcase Gesture - it is the first chair that I can ignore. It feels so natural. Oculus Rift - for the first generation, it is surprisingly comfortable. Oculus Touch - I can see my hands and it feels natural. Lexus es350 - great car fo

Thanks for writing this. I often find it difficult to wrap my head around some of these crates if I'm unfamiliar with the problem space. Often times if you haven't tried building a server before you won't know why you would u

This wasn't upvoted enough. PIA has put in a lot of work for privacy along the years! Great company!

I wonder why Twitter doesn't do consulting. They have developed a lot of the big data frameworks that we use today and understand how to scale. They have the talent and are in a unique position of being Twitter.

These things should exist outside of revenue. If it was more to have a free society does should we rethink freedom? It feels silly to attach a monetary value to individual liberty. Tax revenue is used as a benefit for legalization. It fe

Maybe the idea of communities in tech should just go away. People who share similar ideas on tech should just get together to share those ideas without having to setup a bunch of arbitrary rules and gatekeepers. Some brilliant people might

Those homes are beautiful, but Seattle might be a bit tough with the flat roofs. I grew up in a house like that in a rainy area and we had standing water issues on the roof. It was a beautiful design that was completely inappropriate for th

This whole article reeks of magical thinking (as do many of the comments here). I have been looking for information on what constitutes a McMansion vs a non-McMansion and the arguments parallel the same sort of stuff that made Feng Shui so

Is there is RT-like distinction between All Critics / Top Critics / Audience Score? I would love to see a site which gathered reviews from professional food reviewers.

It might work with Reddit. The cost of creating a new subreddit is zero, so people can move from poorly handled communities. Reddit is struggling for money, but they have an amazing platform to test out ideas on. Out of their millions of
