ahoy

It certainly seems like lots of people have already

Most americans dont live in "large swaths of the country", they live in or near cities where housing is expensive.

A simpler solution would be to tax the wealthy at a higher rate, reducing their ability to travel as much.

Controlled burns have been a tool that forest managers use for years now. Many ecosystems depend on periodic burning, but for a lot of reasons wildfires are undesirable when they happen near places where people live. Controlled burns are a way to promote ecosystem health without endangering human lives.

The suburbs are a problem. We badly need to re-urbanize and live more closely together so that public transit works better.

The idea that cnn or the washington post are "left wing" outlets is factually wrong.

That you were a drunk who lost their license because of a DUI. I'm also from NC, and what the parent commenter said is accurate for any kind of scooter.

You are in fact wrong.

You're right, that won't be a popular opinion.

"games" is a broad category. Chess or Doom or Undertale never nickle-and-dimed anyone for $500.

I can't help but think you're purposefully trying to obscure that point.

I took mushrooms and the worst thing that happened was that I touched a bowl of mac and cheese for a while and made a small mess.

Radical as an adjective has to do with fundamental change. If you've seen someone use it the way you describe, I'd argue you've seen the word used wrong.

People are quick to criticize the fire and deaths, but you can't argue with the fact that the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory was very successful.

HN is full of people who fit the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" stereotype perfectly. Droves of developers sure that one day their SaaS site will make them rich, that one day they'll sell their side-project to google.

Most of us won't!

> You can make similar money at several other companies without sacrificing your soul!

I'm not so sure. Certainly Google, Amazon, et al are just as bad as facebook.

Sounds like a job for.... public transportation!

I don't know a single cyclist who agrees with that statement.

Agreed, lets skip the automobile lanes and just put bike lanes on those streets :]

Better bike infrastructure will encourage groups of people who don't currently bike to start. More protected lanes means more kids, more old folks, more women of all ages, will start cycling. And more cycling is a good thing!

House Representatives have 2 year terms. If you'd like to hold onto that job for longer than 2 years, you have to campaign again, which means raising money again. Do you think TurboTax is going to keep investing in a congressperson who isn't doing what they want?

Sending your dog out there occasionally seems monumentally cheaper and easier than dredging

The richest americans are very rich, yes. Most americans aren't rich.

It's fairly common for large media sites to use multiple ad vendors. WaPo isn't unique here.

I went bald very young (started shaving my head around age 20/21 because there just wasn't enough left).

It was a big hit to my confidence, especially as a teen. I also felt it prematurely "aged" me - I used to joke that I turned 28 on my 18th birthday.

It is nice that there are successful/attractive men who are bald to point to, but I was more often compared to Moby or Billy Corgan, not exactly sex symbols.

It all seems silly in retrospect but it felt very serious at that age. I'm so used to it now that I don't even think about it. It helps that I'm old enough that being bald is "age appropriate" and I stick out less than I did in college.

He used to be. Like many rich men who are image-conscious he seems to have had a hair transplant procedure. Look up images of him from the late 90s, he was clearly balding.

The folks that live down the block from me are people. A multinational investment firm is not people.

We managed to solve the issue of "everyone needs water & electricity" by making them government services (or in some locales, private services required to service everyone). It's not a perfect system but it's certainly better than what we're doing with housing.

Selling drugs should be legal though, so I'm not sure what you're saying.

If we just ban cars no one will get in any more wrecks.

Doesn't that make empty properties especially offensive then?
