Sorry about that.

For what's its worth - Circular images are a fad created for avatars (pictures of people with their heads fitting inside the circle). You're showing images embedded in the article and IMO should be rectangular.

I think the thumbnails add too much white space between headlines and doesn't actually show enough to be useful. Like if there's a press release of a new model or spy photos, I want to see all the pictures from all angles and not a zoomed in crop of a singular headlight. As of right now I'm only see 3 thumbnails of the top 10 with a picture of a vehicle.

Also (old.)reddit already does the small thumbnail and headline thing. I like the hackernews layout for its information density.

Do you think you could find the essay? I'd love to read it

He made a remark about SUVs when talking about programming languages; was that what you're referring to or was there something else?

> Some kinds of waste really are disgusting. SUVs, for example, would arguably be gross even if they ran on a fuel which would never run out and generated no pollution. SUVs are gross because they're the solution to a gross problem. (How to make minivans look more masculine.) But not all waste is bad. Now that we have the infrastructure to support it, counting the minutes of your long-distance calls starts to seem niggling. If you have the resources, it's more elegant to think of all phone calls as one kind of thing, no matter where the other person is. > > There's good waste, and bad waste. I'm interested in good waste-- the kind where, by spending more, we can get simpler designs. How will we take advantage of the opportunities to waste cycles that we'll get from new, faster hardware?
