Sucks to see you go, you've been one of the better posters on here(if not the best). But I know exactly where you are coming from...HN is just a huge time sink and really hurts your productivity...something new and interesting shows up every hour, so you don't have time to actually get things done. The best way I found was to eliminate HN from any bookmarks and navigation bars. When you have to type stuff in to get here, you really cut down on your visits. I think HN itself is a net positive overall since you get to learn a lot of what's happening out there without checking 30 websites for news. The problem are the comments. You check to see what people are saying, then come back and see if there were any new ones or if someone responded to a comment you found interesting. What pg should do is add a productivity option that doesn't show the comments link. That way you still get the stories, but aren't distracted by the discussion. A quick and dirty version of this would be to set .subtext { display: none;}
