I don't give a shit about using my real account to speak my mind, I have no idea why people on HN are afraid of that. If I had my way the names seth godin, tim ferriss, derek sivers, or any number of these quack bloggers would never show up

Money doesn't make me happy, but I'll tell you what makes me unhappy: working on salary for some fucking asshole. Therefore, money makes me not unhappy. Which is good enough for me.
