While some may think that this is hiding, do we not often create algorithms to asses and aide? It seems like disabling this would be against the advancement of a learning system.
I for one think its a great feature and have no desire to disable it.
It seems like you know what you want, you are just afraid to try and lack the motivation.
My advice, step away from the computer for a couple hours a day. Take a walk or do some exercise, you would be amazed at how much that changes your mindset for the better.
Unfortunately there is no magic words of advice or book you can read to solve your problems. Sometimes you just need to man up, put the cards on the table and do what needs to get done.
Best of luck, hang in there.
This is not on Groupon or any other Daily Deal service. It solely relies on the Small Business owner that does not do his due diligence.
This model is no different than bulk purchasing from a supplier. However, the supplier still makes money because they have figured out how much they can give to still turn a profit.
Small business owners need to either look at how much they stand to lose or take this as a advertising expense that they can afford.
The whole get money now and cry about it when people actually expect to collect what they were promised is ridiculous, where do they think the money comes from?
If you want to say that this model is only sustainable as long as small business owners are incompetent then yes, lets say that. However, to say that this business model is bad based on Groupons lies is just ridiculous. No one is holding a gun to your head and saying, give us coupons for all your stuff.
After hours of configuring postfix and looking at files I never wanted to even know about I took a break on HN.
Then I saw Mailgun, boom.. problem solved. (With more bells and whistles then I even imagined)
I've now saved part of my life thanks to this product.
Even chatted with one of their dev's who is extremely helpful. This is the kind of company I would want to invest in.
