    I want to feel bad, but shipping anything across borders is a huge gamble, or at least it feels like it these days. One has to wonder if the customs agent even knew what a floppy i…

    Same for me as well. I've also gone as far as moving any paying business away from the US. I have completely moved off paid US services as of about a month ago to Canadian or EU eq…

    Again I do not care. The US has done more than enough to instill fear in Canadians like me. Would you travel to a country where its leader is constantly making threats against your…

    The specifics of this case are largely irrelevant to me, the fact is I am scared to cross the border into the US at this point. For the foreseeable future I will not be travelling …

    My favourite part of my .ca domains is that personal data is protected by default and I don't have to pay for it as an additional service. There's no need for people to know my inf…

    Perhaps, but I can normally force myself in overcome fear/anxiety if there's a real benefit to me. When it comes to these drugs? I can only see neutral or negative outcomes.

    I've read most of the comments on this post and I can honestly say none of them make me want to try hallucinogenics. It just seems like playing with fire and asking for trouble, es…

    I'm not rich and I have this mindset. I make far less than most people on HN do, less than industry average too, but I've been able to live an okay life regardless. The goal was ne…

    That's completely unrealistic though. If you have a job that allows you to support yourself and doesn't make you want to veer into oncoming traffic daily that's about as good as it…

    It's worse than that, if we're being entirely realistic most (all?) companies would kill you if they could profit from it. Proof? Cigarette companies, Dupont, and others were happy…

    Even within the system you have options and ignorance isn't a good excuse.
