That's not true from a mechanical perspective. Most SUVs use the same frame and parts as trucks by the same manufacturer (which is why they handle so poorly compared to sedans - it isn't just center of gravity)


By weight (gotta over-count those chevy suburbans, lol) that could be possible.

By number the median SUV is some sort of crossover or compact SUV built on a platform the OEM also builds sedans on.


If you define SUV as body-on-frame, sure. But most people think of crossovers as SUVs, and most are unibody. It's a big umbrella and how it's made isn't how mainstream thinks about buying.


If uv figures out a way to capture the scientific community by adding support for conda-forge that'll be the killshot for other similar projects, imo. Pixi is too half-baked currently and suffers from some questionable design decisions.


Out of curiosity, which design decisions do you find questionable and what do you feel is half-baked with Pixi? It's been working well for us.


which subfield of scientific community uses that? and for what purpose, if you could summarize


The key thing of conda-forge is that it's language (rust/go/c++/ruby/java/...) and platform (linux/macos/win/ppc64le/aarch64/...) agnostic rather than being python only.

If you want you can depend on a C++ and fortran compiler at runtime and (fairly) reliably expect it to work.


What would an equivalent tool be on linux? I guess it depends on the filesystem?


I've used bees successfully. https://github.com/Zygo/bees


I used to work at amazon and had a medical exception for working from home. While obtaining the exception, the HR person in charge of my case would repeatedly call my personal cell phone to ask me questions about my disability. They did this 4-5 times despite my insistence that we keep all correspondence written and over email and despite me fulfilling all listed documentation requirements. Once my exception for my chronic condition was approved, they noted that I would need to renew every 6 months, because I guess lifelong conditions you're born with warrant constant validation.


What if a leg regrows in the time? You never know when a Messiah might cure your employees chronic pain over the weekend.


It seems to me companies share these processes far and wide on this. I've had very similar experience and my work is nowhere near Amazon offices.


Why not just...hang up the phone?


maybe someone will finally highlight how ridiculous the gridlock is on the b44-sbs route, particularly through south williamsburg. I regularly see convoys of 4-5 buses arriving at the same time because the traffic through that neighborhood is so bad that the buses eventually catch up to each other and I regularly have to wait 30+ minutes for it on either end of the route.


Crazy that you can't find any 7soulsdeep graffiti on here


was also looking for some KEST GAK stickers


I had the same thought - got some results for "GAK" https://www.alltext.nyc/?search=gak&page=1


Old school "COST" showed up for me as the first result for that word.

Been awhile since I've been out to NYC - is KEST and RIBS still a big thing out there?


KES found some, I think the problem is that most stickers are layered


I tried searching for FREE SMELLS but I think the server is currently overwhelmed


My hair is so course and thick that I can only shave with feather blades, but I hate how every time I travel I can't bring them with me.

I bought disposable safety razors that are single blade and marketed in India and while they are better than all of the multi blade disposables, they still suck. Does anyone have a solution for good shaving while traveling if you can't bring your DE razor?


It depends on how good you want to be the shaving while traveling.

During the years I have been using more than a dozen of different kinds of shaving devices, but eventually I have also returned to traditional double-edge safety razors, because all the many later inventions are actually inferior, while straight razors are too inconvenient. I also use Feather blades.

Nevertheless, for business trips I use a Philips Oneblade, which is small and convenient. My second choice would be single-blade Bic disposables, which are very cheap but I find them better than the much more expensive multi-blade disposables or cartridge razors from Gillette or any others.

However, with Bic or the like I would also have to carry with me shaving consumables, so for trips I prefer the minimal solution with Oneblade, even if it does not shave as well as what I am using at home.

In the past I have also used several variants of the other kinds of electric razors, i.e. with rotary blades (e.g. Philips) or with foil blades (e.g. Panasonic), but now I believe that using any of them cannot be justified, because their shaving quality can never match that of good traditional DE blades (even when buying a top model that costs more than the DE blades that would be consumed during a decade), while in comparison with Oneblade they are too big and too heavy, less versatile and more irritating to the skin.


Mail yourself a pack of blades at the hotel, or source something local (harder when you have a specific need like Feathers, Astra's or my now discontinued Pol silvers) while traveling.


and just like that - gone off the front page

Can you please not post ideological or political battle style comments to HN? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.


There is nothing ideological or political about noticing that threads are removed.

I fully agree that excessive ideology and politics are ruining this site and it isn't what it is for.


I assume that by "people are waking up" you meant something along the lines of the "wake up sheeple" cliché. If that was a misreading, I apologize—but you'd already posted a full-out ideological battle comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39333085) to this same thread, so the request stands either way.


When you assume you make an ass out of both you and me.

Politicians are insincere and self serving is a common observation not an ideological statement either. The person I quoted would be just as on odious if he belonged to some other political party, read it again.


This is already a feature and has been for a long time. Instagram allows you to only see posts from people you follow and will tell you when you've seen all new content from the past X days.


Really? How can I enable that?


Yeah, I just went through two onsites with Kensho (for two different teams). After the first onsite, I asked them if their compensation range would be competitive with another offer I already received and the recruiter told me "they are very similar." I spent another 6 hours doing the second onsite only to be told that their best offer is 35% lower due to "budget cuts." Needless to say I'll never be interviewing with them again because they've shown they don't respect my (or their interviewer's) time.


That's the thing: they don't care. Someone else will interview, unaware of this, and someone after them, etc. until someone takes the job.


I don't understand the motivation behind lying to you in cases like this. Did they honestly expect you to accept their low-ball offer? They most know they're wasting everyone's time.


In the current market, there are a lot of people starting out their search looking to make X, and 1-2 months into the search they realize the only immediately available opportunities are "X - 25%".

In those situations, it's not always a waste of everyone's time. Some candidates (not all, to be clear) start out the job search process with salary expectations that are very unlikely to be easily met compared to 2-3 years ago.

The recruiter in the scenario above was probably hoping the candidate's salary expectations would settle down toward the lower end of the spectrum (which clearly didn't work out for anyone in the specific example above, but it works often enough for it to be a not uncommon practice)

Edit: To be clear, I think it's pretty lame to mislead candidates and I don't advocate for this strategy. But it happens. When I personally interview someone who has salary expectations higher than we're willing to pay, I tell them upfront on the first 30 minute screen call and simply tell them to reach out again if their circumstances change. (They often end up reaching out a month later)


It may look good in recruiter's papers. I.e. it looks like he did his job just right, but the candidate was dissatisfied with the package at the end. What can he do about it?


I am sorry this happened to you. There is not much to say other than I am glad you found out they could not keep their word (and may have been unethical) before you accepted an offer.
