I would imagine that a fairly large percentage of the Hacker News community probably works for themselves or as freelance contractors. The main problem is not that of hiding your browsing from an employer, but having the self control to work rather than browsing.

With 100 upvotes in the first hour, I would imagine a fairly large percentage of the Hacker News community thinks this is useful. Or (more likely) funny.

Yea, managing by treating people as dumb automatons is fundementally flawed.

Especially the "thinking" type of people they desperately try to hire.

If I worked at a place where I felt that reading HN would get me fired, there would be lots of other problems.

Oh, sad. (That people need this). Clever, though.

Thought the same thing. At work I'm encouraged to be active online in places like HN and to read relevant articles and so on.

That's awesome. Does it make you a better coder?

I've only been on HN for a few weeks but I also was hoping for a good mobile app. I was using Flipboard on the iPad at first but I felt cut off without the comments.

Me too.. I'm sort of the HN-rep for our group.. and yeah, it's good for me as a coder and for us as a group to keep in touch with what's happening in the tech world.

That's actually a question I've had for a while.. Someone should start a poll ( I don't know how )
