He's right, this has been posted on HN before. I seam to remember the old article having more animated illustrations. I don't know if it's the same page, same author or just similar content.

I live and work in DC. I go to Dallas at least once a year and drive every day during the week and weekend. I agree this would be impossible in Dallas traffic. It doesn't feel as intentionally aggressive as DC traffic, instead it's like

The success of this technique can't be accurately measured by the driver who's trying "smooth" out the waves. It needs to be witnessed from outside of traffic. It usually just moves the problem to behind the "helpful" driver as other driv

I'm sad that it's necessary to hide things we're allowed to have because other people are easily frightened and chose to over-react to something that isn't a threat.

I think the discussion of fear in society and overreactions by the police is interesting. I have owned one of these umbrellas for about a year and regularly carry it onto the DC metro. I have been stopped by metro police once. They calmly

What does a previous incident involving a real sword have to do with this? Is the risk of sword related violence higher because it happened recently? Is the heightened fear any more justified? Should I always be afraid of people carrying

Many very useful tools, applications and websites require a little of bit learning. That's not a bad thing just because you're unfamiliar with it.

Just because you can't steal what really matters doesn't mean you don't already have it. You could possibly take someone else's idea and execute it better than they would have. What are the odds that the person who came up with the great

I am one of the people that has ideological problems with the app store, but after reading the article I chose not to upvote it. It seams to ignore all of the things that the app store does provide that have been enumerated in many comment

Unfortunate site logo as well. Between his writing style, the content of some of his posts, and the choice of name and logo, I'm finding it very difficult to take this author seriously.

This isn't entirely true. In many cases you can post things anonymously online, and they will stay so, unless they're illegal enough to warrant a subpoena forcing a provider to turn over details that can be used to identify you. We all und

Fair enough. I was only evaluating the content of her post within the context of that post, I did not pay attention to the title of the blog itself. I am impressed if she's making a living off of her just her blog. I'm disappointed if she

I did note the title in my post. And I agree the title is a key part of the author's story. I still appreciate your reply and the others that tried to help me better understand where the author is coming from. I'm still left wondering if

Is this author serious? I don't consider answering emails, doing laundry, keeping the house clean, paying the bills on time or doing other tasks like going to the bank to be much harder than breathing or tying my shoes in the morning. The

I agree. About a year ago we hired a new person at work and he immediately started looking for ways to improve anything and everything. The problem is, nearly everything we had that wasn't optimal, was still actually "good enough" for our

There's very little context in the "article" or these comments. Can someone give some background for users who have never entered a keyboard shortcut on an Apple computer? What exactly is the author concerned about that's interesting enoug

I think both this article (and others like it), and your comment, are giving the users of 4chan/b/ way more credit than is deserved. Any useful output that comes out of 4chan could be achieved in a much more intelligent and efficient way.

When I went to google now (10PM EST) I didn't see a background, only a link at the bottom for setting one. This comment explains why. Thanks for sharing (upvote).
