Re:Fear of Rejection when Applying to Y Combinator

The way you mentally frame rejection is important. I found Rejection Therapy [1] to be effective at rewiring the brain's perception of rejection and not be attached to the outcome.

According to these folks, it's okay to have your own views and morals. That is, as long as it is politically correct.

I've largely moved on from HN anyway, and I've been way more productive. This should only help.
Who is the heir apparent for HN? Lobste.rs? Back to Slashdot?

It should be possible to endorse something without agreeing with it.
You honestly think that's going to happen? Thanks for the chuckle Paul.

Can you say groupthink? What a terrible idea. HN is going to suck even more now.
The best way to protest this idea is to ignore the site. Just ignore it and get some work done for a change.

This treatment of mice or any sentient being is cruel and inhumane. It should be criminal to conduct such experiments. I hope one day it is.

Bill Gates is an old fuddyduddy with too many friends in high places to ever side with Snowden. His answer isn't the least surprising.

Right. I think this is what bothers me about this list. It's material driven. There's a saying that goes (paraphrasing) "don't wish for better circumstances, wish to be a better person."
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36 KJV.
Jonathan, you and your family must look to the Lord Jesus Christ. He is your judge. Through Him all things are possible.

Re:Obama's Trauma Team: Inside the Nightmare Launch of HealthCare.Gov

Correlation, causation, blah blah blah. There are people who pocketed a lot of taxpayer money creating the healthcare.gov failboat, and no one is being held accountable. That's my takeaway from the article.

The Russian people thought similarly in the 1920s about their letters and conversations - until in the dark of the night family members were dragged from their beds and deported to the Siberian tundras to die.
