Cheers!

tommoor··on Helsinki records zero traffic deaths for full year
Yea, I live in downtown NYC and it's egregious. The selfishness of drivers here is frankly unfathomable

tommoor··on Show HN: 10 teams are racing to build a pivotal tracker replacement

Right, but the vast majority are – include those they are talking about.
