    I essentially used the 4 hour workweek script and am somewhere in the middle of that timeline, setting up my business now. 1. Figured out how to get all of my work done super fast …

    I'm about halfway through the process as described in an underpaid non-profit position (ie, going remote, setting up automated systems, wasting less time in meetings/emails). Altho…

    You seem like just the type of person I wanted to read that comic when I decided to put that in. You're fully missing the point (forest through the trees type of thing) with those …

    Frustrated by the people who are claiming that this piece or the company is racist/unexceptional, or that this man's success is due to exclusively hard work. They are missing a gre…

    My science fair experiment was literally building a cannon. I lit hairspray on fire and shot potatoes at a wall and don't even remember signing a waiver.

    Good idea, but unfortunately I have several thousand followers that I don't want to go through the trouble of amassing again.

    Ask HN: Mute all Twitter follows?

    I'm not a big fan of lists and I don't want to unfollow users that I'd occasionally check up on, so is there something out there that I could set and forget that would mute everyon…

    Really enjoyed this. I'd often get in political and fiscal discussions with my friends and found that it just really wouldn't click with some people. They'd get mad and things woul…

    I just wrote all of those down to ask when we get back to the table. Thank you very much - sometimes the forward question is the best question.
