I wouldn't call it terrible, life is nice in your car compared to say walking around in an east coast city during the winter if you have no car. Especially when it comes to grocery shopping. So I'd call it a trade off. Maybe SF is

I think the only way for everyone to get what they really want is to separate the "view" from the data. You can pack a lot of metadata, links, binary data (pictures) into a standardized and compressed format, then you can allow al

In other words, newmotors, just like you learned how to deal with paragraph and word minimums in school, on HN, you need to fluff your positive gratitude in a bit more specificity to match the vernacular: Why do you think it's cool? Ho
