I understand the concern, but also we do all have to act as ourselves in public life in many ways - any one of your identifiable actions could always come back to bite you. If you want to build any kind of public profile or have much influe

I'm not sure how much longer I really want to entertain this discussion, but I'll have one more crack. The number of people using and blockers is still quite low, not nearly critical mass. The "conversion analysis" stuff

Interesting, nice that you like Ghost. I went to university with one of the founders, and I was kinda considering applying for a job there, they seem like a pretty cool company. Yes HN seems to be largely random chance. I've had this a

Yes I do know about this. I find 12ft more universally useful, as I personally do most of my reading on mobile, and also I like to share 12ft.io-based links to open the articles up for other people.
