Thank you for that reminder. Do you have any advice that directly addresses my question?

I think what you’re doing is wonderful. Keep it up! I come at this from the opposite point of you as someone who, at a certain point in time, was perhaps a little bit of a big deal. Many years later I still get emails from people almost weekly saying how impactful my insight was or how inspirational watching my own and entrepreneurial journey was for them. I’m always glad to hear from them and I also 100 Percent of the time respond. Nothing creepy about it. You also never know who of those folks that have inspired you could use that little boost in that moment.

I’m a fan of Ram Dass - but not “fascinated”. To me he was like a spiritual comedian sharing the absurdity of this life. I find it’s helpful to get perspectives from far out people - perhaps so I don’t have to venture so far out myself. By no means does he get a pass for any transgressions.

Would you rather end up a middle class retiree that played it safe, or die an entrepreneur who worked on this they were passionate about regardless of the financial outcome? Personally, I’d rather die broke with a life full of adventures that sometimes payed out and sometimes didn’t, rather than comfortably numb in a retirement home on social security.

OP: I'm close to getting this to run but I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "./deletefb.py", line 3, in <module> from seleniumrequests import Chrome ImportError: No module named seleniumrequests

Any idea what's to be done?

Nice. Running Fb-Delete. I couldn't get the DeleteFB to work so I'm running yours instead. Any idea how long it takes if you got 1000s of posts?

Anyone have an idea for how to block this on your iphone? Perhaps content filtering glassboxdigital.com? Not sure if that would stop however it is that they're transmitting back to their servers.

Easy math = divide by 3 and multiply by 1800.

You’ve got a $99,000 job including the value of benefits and bonuses.

Berlin or Amsterdam would be my picks in Europe.

Bangkok or KL for Asia.

Austin for the US.

The reason is because advertisers are willing to spend more targeting a US user who had an average annual income of $50k where as one in India may have $5k. The user is 10x more valuable from a revenue standpoint so the cost you’re willing to bear to advertise to them is 10x etc

I use Dashlane for this purpose and have provided my wife access...the way it works is she only gets access if her request is not denied by me after 72 hours. Presumably on death, she requests access and 3 days later has control over my accounts.

1% of $10T is $100B. Add $100B younge BTC upper bound at $9,523.

Wow. Um...what was his medical condition?

I sold my 10 year old company about a year ago and promoted my #2 to CEO to lead it post acquisition. Aside from the company related responsibilities I still have here's what I've been doing:

-Actively working to strip away the identity/persona I built up over the last decade while leading the company, in order to get back to "who I really am and/or accurately understand who I've become" outside of the context of the company and the role of CEO/Founder.

-Reading SO MUCH. And specifically the book "The Adult Years" has been essential for me in understanding the life stages we all go through and how to manage transition best.

-Going on extreme/esoteric retreats: like climbing a snowy mountain this winter in Poland in just a bathing suit. I'm trying to push myself physically in ways I've never done before.

-Bought a house for the first time and am learning to be a DIY god.

-Supporting my wife's entrepreneurial journey as much as possible (she's the founder of her own successful company).

-Being open again to mentoring/supporting others as much as possible.

-I hope to soon become a Court Appointed Advocate so I can help NYC area kids who are caught up in "the system" in some way shape or form.

-Oh and...lot of financial/estate planning work :)

I think this is brilliant. I was talking about this very model the other day and I think it could really help/work!!

We've found that coding boot camps do not produce highly skilled devs. They output over priced junior talent who believe they're all of a suddenly highly sought after "full stack engineers" worthy of $70k+ salaries because the boot camps tell them that's what their worth - and then they take a 20% recuiting fee. If we see a candidate apply that has a coding camp on their resume it's almost always a pass.

1. Go to a mental health professional and talk about what's going on. Do so for several months.

2. Get disability insurance and use it: www.disabilitysecrets.com/dnewsblog/2009/07/filing-for-disability-for-stress.html << typically pays about 2/3rds of salary up to a cap for X months.

3. During that mental health break do the following:

a) remove all social media from your life.

b) break your days into 4 hour chunks with buckets like this: Enjoy Nature, cultivate friend/family relationships, read, learn, introspective deep work.

4. Don't return to work until you're sure what you'll be doing day to day will enable you to be happy.

5. If you won't be happy change jobs or even your career entirely. Just because you can program doesn't mean you'll be happy doing it...

You're concerned with a 23% YTD return on the stock and a 600% return over 5 years? The market has a way of signaling if a company is totally screwed up. Looks like it isn't.

The best possible long read article on the subject of what's happening in the markets and from a global macro economic POV is here: http://seekingalpha.com/article/3860226-sell-stocks-risk-ass...

What we're seeing the the beginning of a massive deleveraging as excess debt gets worked out of the system. It's possible that asset classes of all kinds (including startup valuations, real estate, stocks etc.) are 30-50% above par value. We'll see...

We have a very pro-napping policy at our company. I'm the CEO and actively nap probably 3 days per week for a least 30 minutes when I'm in the office.

We even have a nap pod...and the pro-napping policy is written into our employee/HR manual.

Of the 80+ employees, I'd say 20% of them nap in the office at least once a week. Why fight biology? Naps are great.

This is so 2012.

This setup is certainly rare. At my company (http://istrategylabs.com) we've done our best to at least feed this desire and tie it back to revenue.

1. Everyone in the company can work on R&D projects. 2. There's budget set aside for this work. 3. Everyone can pitch new ideas for new projects/products. 4. If something get green-lit you can join that project if you desire and have value to bring to it.

It's really challenging to assign dedicated "20% time" or some other formal allocation. We've tried serval times and failed. Instead, now, we just setup hackdays/internal innovation days where the entire company can work on whatever they want. It's great for morale and produces new things we can pitch to our customers.

I love the fact that this site, the video, the whole thing appears to be entirely a spoof -- but it's just not.

I prefer to tell people I'm the Chief Email Officer. It accurately describes what I do most of the time as CEO.

The content is terrible because the audience is terrible.

We are stupid.

The content is therefore stupid.

It has to play to us. It plays to what we want.

This isn't hard.

Happy to see this on HN.

My company is helping Red Bull out with vetting college teams to participate in Creation.

If you're an engineering student and want to hack this email me: peter@istrategylabs.com

I believe we have 1 or 2 slots left for college teams.

Certainly I'm biased, but I think working at a place like http://istrategylabs.com is a place to do this.

We have to invent new things everyday, and due to our focus on hacking the digital and physical worlds there's so many possibilities.

Thanks techiferious. I was looking at the site on my iPad last night and realized we totally missed the boat on optimizing this for mobile voting too (i have a feeling lots of people will be holding ipads/iphones while watching the game). There's a lot of tweaks that need to be made for sure.

Just a fun little experiment we built in a couple days.
