bbleciel··on It’s Time to Build
It's depressing this receives this much attention on hacker news.

An extremely wealthy person making an imperative to less wealthy people to "ignore partisan politics and focus on results!"

To this person I would ask... who had the capacity, the agency, the capital, the resources, (and given this article, presumably according to them, THE VISION) this entire time? You did. So rather than make an imperative to everyone with less to "get back on the horse" and "put aside petty differences"– why don't you examine the decisions you made, and examine the systems you were party to, which led to this colossal failure.

"I’m with Nicholas Stern when he says that capitalism is how we take care of people we don’t know"... Uhhhhh people you don't know are dying everywhere meanwhile speculative finance i.e. markets i.e. your entire business is doing great. Fuck off

bbleciel··on Ask HN: What's a promising area to work on?
I seriously want to begin working in this field as a consultant/architect/developer. So much so that I've registered the LLC, opened a bank account, and even had a few clients I built web apps for. However, I'm not exactly sure how to pivot to business solutions/productivity tools though. Do you usually approach companies where you expect to have a solution for them? Or do you find clients through advertising? Do they find you? Any advice is appreciated!

i took the exit pictured here out of curiosity once.. drove 10 miles into the desert to the remains of the retreat. walked inside a small library or welcome center and found a warm cup of coffee but no person to accompany it.

then, walking around the grounds outside in the sun (it was summer), i started to have a panic attack. i climbed in my car to leave but my car wouldn't start. -eventually it did. strange place
