This has been on HN a bunch of times already. News is supposed to be new, correct?

Keep in mind that detained may be for a long time, indefinitely in solitary confinement and without charges, in one of the many prisons the US government has been building in recen…

And it's an easy win for prosecutors. Looks good on their résumé.

No need to apologize. Thank you for reposting the link.

Anyone who hasn't tried the Trello iPhone app should check it out. It's free and even better than the website version.

I saw the Krispy Kreme video. That lady takes great pride in her donuts! A valuable lesson of how asking someone who does the same thing, day in and day out to try something differ…

I think there's more to it than what the other two comments described. No doubt there is human moderation on HN (beyond users flagging submissions I mean), and maybe a list of doma…

Not sure what you're looking to do, but have you seen Zamzar? http://zamzar.com

Monetize, improve, rinse and repeat.

No, that's closer to market socialism than capitalism.

I'm not an expert on alternative economies (sorry) but I can name a capitalist consumer-driven society that is controlled by fear of their government.

I'm all for producing and exchanging goods, but with a deeper respect for nature and to the mutual benefit of all. Most decisions being made about your water supply and the limited…

Everyone deserves an upvote in this thread. Great post!

I'll say it this way: Americans have never been so privacy deprived and frightened of their government as they have been in the last decade. No one expects Obama to defend your civ…

There's been a bumper crop of stupid comments on HN this year, but yours should win the county fair.

I take into consideration the finances of the person or company, but usually it's $300. That or less gets paid in full before I begin.

I wouldn't be so sure. The US government have been doing whatever the hell they want lately, civil liberties and public opinions be damned.

Then you be the champion. I'm serious (not being sarcastic or anything). Someone else needs to step up to the plate.

Fifty percent upfront. Unless it's a smaller project. Then, it's 100% payment upfront. No exceptions.

You essentially repeated what I said about value and finding the right market, so that's cool. At the time I made the zine I too was in transition, not exactly homeless because som…

I did something similar with a local music zine (a long time ago in a galaxy far away) and made a bit of cash, but nowhere near as much as you. So, while I congratulate you on your…
