Once a penal colony, always a penal colony.
Thank god for the US constitution and the 1st and 2nd amendments.

Power hungry ideologues and fanatic mobs(woke or otherwise) would turn it into an authoritarian shit-hole without them.

Try sending joebiden.info to a friend on Facebook messenger, no seriously, do it right now. The message doesn't get sent. Unbelievable that this is happening in America.

Censoring public posts is one thing, but blocking private messages being sent between friends? I'm speechless that there isn't more furore over this!

This is no place for blind nationalism or race baiting. If you don't want to see critical comments, maybe this isn't the right place for you.

Uber and Lyft crash for me on Android.
"Now what ?" - Now we practice common sense social distancing and wait for the virus to take its course. No need to overreact and go full China style authoritarian lockdown. And yes, America is exceptional even if it annoys you.
You'd be surprised. There's vast land west of the Mississippi that is still rugged and relatively undeveloped. I speak more in terms of the frontier mindset, but I digress.
Forgive my slight exaggeration for dramatic effect. But the point still stands.
I'm alarmed at the glee with which Americans are giving up their constitutional rights and calling for more restrictions. America is not Asia, or Europe. This is a frontier nation, and we must keep it that way.

I think that is the point. It doesn't block the website entirely lest you go and disable the extension. It's designed to frustrate you slightly.

It doesn't work on reddit.com though. It keeps reloading the page and the delay page gets triggered in a loop.

Isn't that what the comments section of an article is ? Crowd sourced feedback ? The problem with crowd sourced feedback is that most of it is low effort/low quality trolling.
Re:Naval Ravikant on Time [audio] on Thursday August 31, 2017 @03:35PM (#15143194)
The interviewer seems to be fawning over Naval, or maybe he's easily amused. Either way, it was kinda annoying, but a good interview nevertheless.
Re:Bezos should put his billions in public libraries on Tuesday August 15, 2017 @03:20PM (#15021431)
Physical libraries seem so inefficient. Can't the same thing be accomplished at a fraction of the cost by distributing laptops with subscriptions to KhanAcademy etc ?
I'm a Rails developer from Hyderabad,India . I did some freelance work for a client from USA at $12/hour . Ofcourse I realised that I was making next to nothing after taxes(20 %) and oDesk fees, So I quit .

I've been searching for a simple income generating idea too for the past few months . I'm torn between trying to build a well paying freelancing career vs building a Saas product/service that's going to pay over time .

I tried to contact you but your email isn't public. Ping me if you wanna bounce some ideas regarding this sometime !
