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.

It's not just amusing -- it's a clever, unique and interesting solution to a common problem, however pyrrhic[1] the victory might be.

Yes. I use Google Chrome and I use the StayFocusd App thingy as a bit of a crutch ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/laankejkbhbdhmipfm... ).

It keeps a timer of flagged sites you browse (HN) and when your time is up, you can't browse ANY flagged sites.

For me, it makes taking 5 to 10 minute breaks fun and valuable. Trying to spread an hour of browsing time across 8-10 hours is a great challenge.

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

This is probably for the sector of HN that hasn't quite gotten their yet.

This is probably aimed at the subset of HN readers that haven't quite made it yet.

Thanks. A much better choice of words.

Reading back over old comments like this reminds me why I don't comment.
