   Spend 30 seconds on the site. Didn't get it. Move on. If this is important, it will appear again on (HN|Reddit|etc) for me to take a closer look. Oh, and 30 seconds is a looooong time to spend on a site. I would guess people spend no m

   You missed the point. My story is not a recipe. It's simply an admission of what I've been through, and to offer inspiration and hope to others who are at the beginning of their struggle. I'm also confused. How did you read m

   I would caution you to separate mental illness from a person's predictability & reliability. Therein lies the stigma. As for hesitant to add a mentally ill person, that means because of your bias you would have excluded all of thes

   I don't know why people are down voting your comment! You seem very honest and sincere in your opinion. I disagree with you that you don't think he's ill, but I've upvoted you because disagreeing with someone is not grou

   I used to struggle with Bipolar Spectrum disorder. After 9 years of medication, therapy, prayer, and a lot of ups and downs I've been declared free of the diagnosis by my psychiatrist. I gained a lot of weight because of medications (n

    Was concerned about man-in-the-middle attacks, then saw the bottom of the page where you can setup your own server from source. Really love this addition to my toolbelt.

    I'm going for the fifth option. Build a software-as-a-service business that pays the bills and allows me to keep working on my own projects. No one can fire me (except my customers) and I still can code and noodle around with interesti

    Am I missing something? Why is this and other articles about planes doing on Hacker News? I like planes, but I thought this site was about internet startups?

    This isn't really news. The side effects were made known to me years ago, and it was still better for me to take them. I used to have a mental illness condition that messed up my life for over a decade. I've learned and relied on

    I have read, re-read, and re-re-read Calving and Hobbes for the last 20 years. Now my 12 year old son is re-reading the complete anthology collection I own. Not bad for a comic that's decades old.

    Ah yes, that's what I meant. I'm new to following the whole crypto currency thing. It's all wildly speculative and way too risky to bet money on, but I'm enjoying learning how much I don't know. -- " War is God
