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

Family and friends. Tonight was wonderful. Every year is better than the last.

Vintage Steinway is my dream piano. Sorry that you have to get rid of it.

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…

This is really well written.

I do this too. Fantasy universe works best for me. Always asleep after a few minutes doing this

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.

It seems like a quick fix to get halfway to where they want to be. Now they need to solve for the other half

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…

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.

Are you from South Texas?

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 i…

Please write about being a woodsman somewhere and submit it. I would love to read about it

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 mainstr…

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 mor…

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 se…

This was long time coming, and hopefully they'll do a lot against the black market as well.

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…

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 un…
