Except that my account isn't deleted even when Facebook said they would after 14 days. That's just one example.

But the reason why the very liberty of citizens of the United States is under threat is because people aren't willing to stand up to what is right if it's inconvenient for them. They will instead rationalize and look for more proof and stick their heads in the sand.

HN is chock full of these people.

Don't you think?

Again, I really like Zerply and highly recommend it for creatives.

I just think the title should be a little more clear (like add a "not" at the end).

So yeah, you pretty much got it.

You either know that statement is untrue but lie anyway, or you haven't been outside and seen a tree in real life for over a year. Many people of all walks of life think Facebook is an "addictive and time wasting form of entertainment who's contribution society is negative."

If you honestly believe otherwise, you need to push away from the computer desk and interact with normal human beings in the flesh STAT.

However, I also say yes because many people I know have abandoned their accounts or use their accounts reluctantly nowadays.

So yes, Facebook will continue to bleed users and die.

Now, I do other stuff (laundry, errands, physical work) in the morning and start on the computer at noon. Works much better.

Sleep? For me, some weeks I'll live on 4 hours a night, but then I get super depressed and will jack up the sleep to 6 or more. I need to improve on this, so I'm probably not one to take advice from.

Quite the MVP. I hope this happens for him.

The day of 9/11, the release of Linux kernel 2.4, and when my story submission got published were all memorable events for me there.

Probably a big reason I'm divorced now.

If you provide value, and you're good at what you do, why not ask? If it's because you can't handle being told no once in awhile, maybe Rejection Therapy[1] is the best way to go. The game can be applied to all aspects of life, not just getting higher hourly rates.

Global warming, destruction of nature, loss of liberty because governments we elect betray us - don't worry, somebody else will fix that, probably some Y Combinator startup. No wait, driverless cars are the answer.

Us humans hallucinate in our own private world more than we interface with the actual world. We can and will rationalize anything. Nobody is upset because we aren't really there, or even here. We are off somewhere else, thinking we are smarter than we are and that everything will be okay.

With the terrifying state the planet is in, we should all be upset.

Heck, you don't even need a car. I started the business in an afternoon and made deliveries on my bike. Other deliveries I had someone else do (gave him half - I did nothing but take the order and pass it off to him).

Get a simple three page website and some business cards made up and you will make your 20G.

One bit of advice: Get paid in advance, every time. Even if it's a legal firm. ESPECIALLY if it's a legal firm.

How come "shut up and just do it" applies to everyone but Elon? Why does he only have to talk about doing something to be hailed a hero?

Start backing some of this stuff up with action Elon.

I would expect those prices too if I went through TaskRabbit. I wouldn't expect the designer to be a top professional. I'd be looking for a deal.

My advice (and I've been working freelance for about 7 years) is to brand yourself as a top shelf designer and never offer your services on outsourcing websites. Go hyper niche instead in a category where you have some contacts and can get work fast.

If your designs are amazing, word gets around. Pretty much all new business I get is from word of mouth.

Nothing to see here.

I think the more communication the better. Is it propoganda? Maybe, but I wouldn't work my brain into a lather about that.

Overall, I'd say it's cool. If my town had a site like this I'd read it.

In fact, your strong reaction to it proves it's a potent name.
