terrble··on Show HN: ThingsOnReddit – Products linked to on Reddit
Reddit has narrow, highly specialized communities where product mentions, while not necessarily recommendations, are very useful for researching, shopping, and understanding a niche consumer market.

terrble··on Modern China Is So Crazy It Needs a New Literary Genre
Hey, look, no offense China.. but you ain't that crazy.

Also... this has been going on in the US for decades.. and if you think China is ultra-unreal, AVOID Japan.

As we continue to deteriorate the rule of law, stuff like this will happen more and more. We're nowhere near the endgame...
terrble··on Show HN: Rentolize – Become your own property manager
> Specifically designed with small residential property owners in mind.

I think this is a mistake. As a small residential property owner, a property management company is so cheap I feel using one is totally worth it.

I suspect it might be wiser to target small property management companies. Or even better, uber for property management.

Looks like a lot of privileged white males having trouble with a strong black woman.
terrble··on I Built This AK-47. It's Legal and Totally Untraceable
Taking it down a psychological path _maybe_ a bit too far to be useful, but accurate.
terrble··on I Built This AK-47. It's Legal and Totally Untraceable
It already has, repeatedly - but that's totally orthogonal. To imply that gun owners are worried about systematic government oppression that would necessitate an uprising is not an accurate portrayal of conventional wisdom, it's a half-assed attempt at interpreting the Constitution and extrapolating gun ownership rationale. But most gun owners in the US (that I know - and I know quite a few) possess them for hunting, collecting, and sport shooting, in that order.

Once I had a roommate that used anti-dandruff shampoo. "But you don't have dandruff," I exclaimed. He replied, "exactly."

(that being said, foreign invasion is probably not a large motivating factor for most civilian gun owners in the US, but your question was rather silly)

terrble··on I Smell Smoke - Rob Conery on Microsoft
> try building a dynamic forms system that gets stored in the DB (fields, references to validation rules) allowing a user to build some forms and for another user to supply values for those forms

this is fairly trivial. one area where the static typing really helps. the type system is the dsl.

This article is going to sound really silly when archaeologists dust off the bits in 500 years.
