Everyone's tax money goes to a select few who screwed the state over (or.. went through their loopholes successfully, however you want to look at it). None of that sounds like a good stimulus to me.

Without a lot of research that answer seems difficult to get to. I think in the interim, helping these people is a fine use of some people's disposable income.
Also, consider that money going to Watsi does not necessarily stop money going to a different/more effective cause. Many people donating to this may not donate to a different idea, and vice versa.
It's easy to credit them with hard work and think they deserve it. The biggest thing I notice is how many thousands (millions) of other people in the world have the exact same traits ("Seeing past the trees", "Ability to convince other people to believe in you", etc) and fail in our world.
Looks like many sites are coming back online.

Hi! I'm the CTO at Bunk1, and there's a good chance I want to talk to you.
Our company is a small, industry known team of ex campers working to make managing summer camps more efficient. The next year is going to be an incredibly exciting and demanding time for us, and we are looking to add someone to the team who is driven, but also enjoys being part of a team (we live on HipChat).
Ideal candidate would have experience in Ruby, be comfortable dealing with large datasets, and simply always be improving themselves.
Our current stack includes Rails, Postgres, Memcached, S3, and Heroku (moving soon!).
If you have passion for good code, get excited when you can make something scale, and think you can make a difference in our company, please get in touch with me!

I'm based in Portland, ME but am often in NYC. I presume there is no simple way to use the site yet for me?
Uncommon is pretty broad, if something as severe as being drugged happens to one person out of every 200 each night, it is "common" in my mind.
P.S. It doesn't have to do with hating GUIs for most people, it has to do with using a terminal efficiently, which often times means avoiding the mouse when possible.
