Break the cycle how? Every time one of these threads come up I suggest buying a domestic full size 90’s truck instead and nobody gives a shit. The only things that gain traction in these threads is people shitting on their cultural enemies.

These HN threads about trucks are amazing. It’s like watching the same movie over and over again * Kei trucks are the coolest. Big gubment is making it so we can’t register them due to protectionism! * Chicken tax chicken tax chicken tax *

They already have the form factor, it’s called a Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger. They are bigger than Kei trucks because they have actual safety features.

The author mentions not wanting a Ranger or Tacoma, but I still think those are better options especially considering the drivers position… Even better is a 80’s/90’s full size 2 door pickup. Same size as a modern Tacoma/Ranger, b

Threads was on the front page for an entire day or two. A sizable percentage of the entire lifetime of the App. Twitter and Musks other ill-adventures will continue to dominate HN though. Zuckerberg is not part of the HN in-crowd and will

Lemme modify the writers words for you to more accurately describe the phenomena : “I suspect it’s easier to teach a good waitress to be a writer than an intellectual to be a good waiter.” Being excellent at balancing a stressful, fast pace

You could also replace the phrase “hold accountable” with “micromanage” and be just as accurate. If you hire slackers, be prepared to be amazed at how much work they’ll do to bypass your micromanaging. It’s a race to the bottom

By entire industry I mean web developers, which is a cohort that usually has more non-traditional educations and tends to think in a async mental model. What you explained happens in Germany is pretty par for the course in the US as well fo

Great for solving the typical problems encountered in a web browser. But a real fucked up mental model to bake into an entire industry’s worth of developers

C++, OOP, and whatever crazy async shit is going on in JS ruined the conceptual model of “code” for going on 2 generations of programmers. We do students a disservice teaching them how to “code” first. And not instead how to solve problems

Otherwise known as “your CS degree has shockingly little to do with this god forsaken login page we’re designing” I’ve had so many long conversations with early-mid career developers that the stupid code being written will have a shelf life

Other than Lake Washington, the sound is stereotypically windy. Ground effect vehicles don’t work real well in windy / choppy conditions Though it seems like they have some special sauce which makes their aircraft behave better in thes

Is the CEO some sacred object that should be treated differently than any other part of the org? Just because there are a handful of C-level execs, they deserve 20,000% bonuses while the rest of the org skimps? It’s about equality, attribut

The thing city denizens seem to not understand is that this fair-weather truck user is exactly who the F-150 was designed for. It was designed to be unladen 95% of the time. All the werk-truck wonk is just marketing to make sales. Ford know

Hauling equipment. Hauling water. Hauling any sort of aggregate. The payload of an f150 is ~2500 lbs. you’ll exceed that with four 230lb iron workers and a toolbox or two in the back.

The only people driving F-150s around job sites are management with a stipend. Half ton trucks are a lot less capable then most people think, and are primarily targeted to the former of the two groups you mention

"heavily scrubbing its content" does not mean "The syrian rebels gassed themselves". You described an unbased conspiracy theory, and then tossed a page full of unrelated emails up as "evidence".

@Dang, you see what I'm talking about? You think this type of content is aligned with HN's guidelines? This is what you get when you allow completely unbased conspiracy theory to go unchecked

by waiseristy 4y ago
I'm not going to participate in the informational equivalent of a cargo cult. Sorry. I require evidence

by waiseristy 4y ago
Uh, yes. I'm pretty damn certain that the Syrian rebels did not gas themselves. The OPCW just came out with a massive report on the matter this week. Which, unlike this dudes claim, was extremely well sourced. I'm not even going t

Seymour Hersh, also a advocate of the Syrian rebel chemical weapon conspiracy and is a Osama Bin Laden death truther. Maybe we should also include his later work as well?
