chrift··on YouTube burnout is real. Creators are struggling to cope
I am inclined to agree with this. There are plenty of people burnt out.

What's the alternative? Make things easier? Pay them more so they can take longer off? Get youtube to present older videos to people so the creators don't have too much of a revenue dip while they take a week off?

There are plenty of self employed people. It's no one else's fault if you get burnt out.

This is really interesting, well done! Seems like you're getting a lot of cynical people on here, you might be interested in posting this story on indiehackers.com

I certainly have never sold a product I developed. Have you?

I'm confused - are you saying that Afghanistan triumphed?

If citizens had guns, they would be less likely to stick soldiers in front of them without some sort of heavy armour between them. I.e. a tank
chrift··on Match.com Used Fake Ads to Swindle Users, F.T.C. Says
I am also of the mind that all the social media platforms do this. I hardly ever use Instagram, but whenever I get a notification from someone I know is obviously fake I always get caught in the rabbit hole of my feed.

I think that depends on whether those extra few $k mean the difference between needing to move back home and staying out in SF
chrift··on Show HN: CarHunting – The smartest place to find your next car (UK)
Hi guys,

I'm Chris and I just wanted to show something I've been working on in the evenings between nappy changes.

Due to these nappy changes development is slow going, but so far the feedback I've received has been positive.

I'd love to get some feedback from some of you serial car buyers as to whether you would find a tool like this useful.

Thanks!

chrift··on YC’s Essential Startup Advice
Really good idea, a much simpler and lighter solution than import.io

Do you use proxies to stop your requests getting blocked or are you just going balls to the wall and making requests from your server's ip(s)?

This is the first time I've heard such claims. Do you have any more details about this?

chrift··on Ask HN: Have any side projects from Show HN gone big?
Just tried it on https://beetle.email and got spammed with new signup notifications.

You might want to put a warning on there saying that it will submit any forms it can find a LOT.

Also, on the waiting screen, while it's running tests, I filled in the form and it's had an iframe drama.

Get yourself some compression shorts, I don't work out without them.
chrift··on Show HN: Do you know what emails your competitors are sending? Beetle does
Hi guys, This is a project I've been working on on and off for the past couple of years. We recently hit the 1 million email mark and I realised I hadn't posted it on here! At the moment we are primarily catering for UK clients, so you may find the emails a bit more UK focussed, but if there are any companies you'd like to see emails from please let us know via the Add s site nav link on the left after you log in. Any feedback is very welcome :)

Wouldn't you just use vssh and be done with it? http://www.velestar.com/Pages/VSSHOSXPage.aspx

Or am I missing the point?

chrift··on Ask HN: What is wrong with me?
I wouldn't lead the question by telling them that you were supposed to be annoying, because then they will look for things that annoyed them about you that they may have not noticed otherwise. I would tell them to be brutally honest, and, to be honest, if you're wearing the 'suit' of someone else, you could just ask them if you seemed like the kind of guy they would hang out with. Then note their response down in a survey like manner.
chrift··on Firefox Developer Edition
Lack of being able to format a JSON response from the console is my main issue with this.
chrift··on Firefox Developer Edition
The only issue I have with the inspector tools in its current guise, is the fact you can't open an XHR request logged in the console in the network tab so you can view the nicer layout of parameters and stuff.

Which is really annoying and the main reason I stick with firebug.
