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

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

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

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

No one knows what that is

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

> 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?

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?
