It's almost like there is more to success whether or not someone sleeps on a tempurpedic mattress with a cooling pad, earplugs and eye mask... or whether they write lists on paper... or whether they have that unfortunate characteristic where they only work on stuff they don't like (you know, a job)

I've been reading HN for at least 4 years and I always knew there was some level of bootlicking around the ycombinator stuff but it was easy enough to ignore and move on. I couldn't do that this time.

Granted I don't pay much attention to the y-combinator side of all this, but I didn't know who this dude was when I read the article. I immediately disliked a lot of the advice because of how out-of-touch it is (don't do something you don't like, buy a $4000 mattress, etc.) and came to the comments expecting some level of critique of that. Nope, everyone is fawning over this guy:

"What do you think he'll think when he starts meditating" "How do you feel about him using canabis?"

What kind of cult is this?

ed: spelling

If you open up add-ons find uBlock Origin, press the "go to dashboard" button the first page has a bunch of checkboxes. At the bottom of the first group there is a check box called "I am an advanced user ..." Check that and now you have a mini uMatrix in your uBlock Origin menu.

Global block/allow is the left column, local (to the current domain) block/allow is the right column. I always globally block 3rd party scripts and frames and locally allow things like ajax.google.com when sites are borked.

Apparently now I need to start locally blocking 1st party scripts on sites too because of shenanigans like this.

It seems to be javascript. Disabling 1st-party scripts in uBlock Origin got rid of it for me.
