Are pickup trucks common in Europe?


Not really. The Cybertruck would also be impractical due to its size, of course, but I'd imagine some people would want one due to its look (some hate it, some love it).


No, and especially not the ones in the size class of the Cybertruck. Usually if I've seen a pickup truck, it's been maybe a Ford Ranger or a Toyota Hilux, a mid-size pickup truck, and definitely not an F150, a full-size pickup truck. Sometimes it might also just be a Volkswagen Transporter with a flatbed, so basically a van like most all utility vehicles.


They're not but I am starting to see more and more of them on the road and I hate them


No. An F150 looks grotesque in a European city.


I had the same experience last time I tried quitting adderall cold turkey. For months I had a really tough time focusing on anything. The sleep was the worst part- I literally couldn't sleep without medication. Eventually I went back on.

This time around I quit in consultation with a really good psychiatrist (they are out there) and he had me slowly tapper my dose over a 6 months period. This was a WAY better experience then quitting cold turkey. My sleep has been better than when I was on adderrall and my focus has actually been better than when I was on a low dosage of the stuff.work


We really need this generation's Robert Moses or Lyndon Johnson. Someone with the ambition and political saavy for cutting through layers of bureaucracy, though maybe today's setup would be too much for even them.


I'm pretty sure Tesla's with FSD get in less accidents when compared to the average driver. Mine tends to be frustratingly overly cautious in most cases.


Except when it suddenly turns into incoming traffic. Don’t believe stats from Tesla.


> Except when it suddenly turns into incoming traffic

Is there any reason to suggest these aren't factored into the aforementioned data?

> Don’t believe stats from Tesla.

I'm all for more transparency, but I'm certainly not going to trust a random Internet commenter either.

Variables exist in zq, "this" is a reserved word: echo {x:1} | zq 'x := x+1' -


Not sure if this came across in the article, but all the "boutique" z* formats are all representations of the same zed model https://zed.brimdata.io/docs/formats/zed/


Go ask any nurse that works in a major metropolitan hospital what percentage of their patients are overweight- it will be the vast majority of them.

Depending on which media outlet you turn to Facebook is trying to skew the election towards Trump or Biden. Depending on your political bias you get the story that fits your narrative. Perhaps our framing is off?


Looky | Software Engineer, Front-end | Oakland, CA | Onsite| Fulltime

We are Looky, a VC funded (Accel) seed stage startup. We're currently at 6 people looking to add an awesome Frontend focused engineer.

Our founder, Steve McCanne, has got a pretty impressive track record: A former Associate Professor of CompSci at Berkeley, he's founded numerous success startups including Riverbed which went from nothing to IPO in 4 years with over 2000 employees and a 7.6B market cap.

We're looking to disrupt the massive Network Security market with a forward looking product. We are building a blazing fast log analytics search engine in golang and a super cool, very original Electron-based search client- think Kibana but way better.

Perhaps I'm a little biased but this is a pretty sweet opportunity :)

I'm the technical lead for the project. Would love to buy you a coffee and chat!

(We're still working on our public website)
