So what? If they have the money and the land, go ahead and build what you like. That is what makes America free. This article is quite an example of class-ism.

I practice "unread zero". I leave emails in my inbox in case I need them later. The search function works well. If they are not marked "unread", I don't pay attention to them thus my brain does not see it as clutter.

"For someone who makes a living doing this type of work and relies on fair pay" The rest of the world doesn't owe you anything. If 5 guys down the block are all charging less than half your price and you have a harder time getting clients,

That's a great app. I have wanted something similar for android. It combines the ease of text messaging without the commitment and participation required for Latitude or the like.

I don't have one typical visit. Of an evening if I have gotten a lot done, I might spend an hour looking at articles and links (Not every night.) Over lunch, maybe 5 - 25 minutes, depending on if is stuff there I am interested in. I would s

Thanks so much for showing me that sub-reddit. Wish it was more frequented though.

Nice, I signed up for a class. Is there a way to mark other classes in a queue of sorts to be taken when you are done with the one(s) you are currently taking? Thanks!

I am not 100% sure if this is what you are asking but with a state based drop-down, hit the letter "N" six times in a row and New York should be highlighted. Hit the enter key and you have selected it.

"your site is ugly and you charge too much" If reddit tells you that, it is a sign that you are probably doing okay.

Amazon is not banning the book, they are a private business that chooses not to carry a product whose title seems to (even though the contents do not) advocate rape.

"Amazon is withdrawing these items from circulation." They are not withdrawing it from circulation. THEY are choosing to not circulate it themselves. The author can circulate it where ever he likes as long as it is not Amazon. If Amazon was

(As previously posted) They are a media outlet but it is not suppression. They are not stopping him from publishing that work and they are not stopping him from writing it. They are simply not taking part in the distribution.

To me, reddit is like a really cool charter school with lots of AP and college level classes with a few brilliant geniuses, but at the end of the day it is still a high school. HN is more like a fine graduate program at a respected universi

I think you are being down-voted because your statement seems to imply that a person could not get the other news from anywhere else. I would like to see HN as just or predominately the far left of your diagram. I see news about everything
