I agree my quick post was not a rebuttal, but I didn't claim it was. Edit: to say that in the light of Aloha's response, I guess my post was a rebuttal. But not a refutation... Sorry, I'm just quibbling now.

On the contrary, it's a sign of our "evolution" that sexist ideas like the one in your second paragraph are now increasingly subject to fierce rebuttal.

It's kind of rude to advertise while giving the false impression you're a disinterested punter. It's also tiring to read the same comment plugging the same product after half a dozen posts on this page.

His comment about a "really good offer" applied to the (potential) $3k per month, not to the couple of hundred per month.

I agree there are many similar threads but this one seems different insofar as it's explicitly asking for contributions from people who want to sell / off-load their side-projects.

Nice idea in theory. I'd add the caveat though that being abused very likely is a humiliating experience, one which might induce feelings of powerlessness and self-consciousness, which might in turn make it difficult to confront the ag

Sure, but I wish he'd answer since the fact that he mentions it would seem to include he does care at least a bit; but this is then directly contradicted by his recommending this course anyway. Seems a bit psychopathic to me.

Isn't the fact that it "sucks for current residents" a reason not to recommend this approach?

Insight Timer looks good but - to hijack a little bit - how does it make money?

I like your blog posts and you're certainly an inspiring example, but really it's odd that you can't see that, given the large number of people not in your position (as evidenced by the replies here and elsewhere in similar

If anyone reads this it will be downvoted but he is a transphobic asshole.

Yeah this is nonsense. Psychotherapy originated in Austria and evolved in Europe. Vampires have a long folk and literary tradition and are not necessarily a pop-culture reference. Shouting (all-caps) is not unique to Americans, and to imply

Interesting links, thanks. I would like to point out though that since it asks for (though doesn't demand) email addresses to keep up with the book's progress, Tringas's book is not entirely without a profit for him. (Based o

Well done on launching, this looks interesting. I just want to add a very subjective caveat, which really has nothing to do with your achievement. Personally, I find my ability to absorb information is contingent upon my staying in a single

This should be voted higher. It's not "passive-aggressive", as the empathy-deficient thatwebdude says, it's honest, if painfully so. There are plenty of days when a parent cannot in all honesty give the socially-mandated

Agree. Have a job, kid, and a need to eat, relax at least for an hour in the evening, and sleep. 30 mins exercise a day (which incl. prep and travel to place of exercise could easily turn to an hour) seems as luxurious to me as having a pri

What's bewildering to me is that you don't sound bewildered: you sound offended. You sound like something is at stake for you in his behaviour. Which is fine, it's ok to admit that. I am personally offended by your post, for

Not sure why this isn't at the top. This is crazy.

I don't know how constructive this is, since I may not be the target audience, but my one piece of feedback would be that, after looking at the site for 10-15 seconds, I had literally no idea what service you are offering. Like I said,

Upvote for being the only person on this thread to have actually given a relevant reply (request was for people who used to procrastinate and have to some extent overcome it). Also I wish I could vote twice because - as a procrastinator m

It's a perfectly respectable response but as I understand it HN wants to keep noise to a minimum, and I guess the downvoters think that since "wow" doesn't actually contribute to discussion in any substantial way it shou

They're not even clocks, in that they don't individually keep time. But that's not the point, is it. I think it's a nice project.

Laravel - it has built in authentication, and a while ago I cobbled together an artisan command that basically builds the model, controller, migration, and all necessary views with one command. It still feels like too much repetition is i

Googling for gyroscope poster or gyroscope github doesn't produce anything relevant in the first few results. I would suggest "rip off" is too strong a word, especially when the thing it's supposed to be ripping off is a

You are right that I passed judgement on you - I found your post offensive and insensitive. It is fair that I call you out on it. The fact that you continue to defend your insensitivity speaks volumes.

I made a moral judgement, which IMHO is not the same as being judgemental or "the moral police". If, as you say, discourse on HN often unfolds in tangential directions, surely moral tangents like mine are as permissible as histori
