kungfutonon Ask HN: A place like HN but with more nerdy stuff and less social stuff?

Yes, I agree, build it.

However, please do not make it like HN or you will fail.

Be different. Brand it. Have a personality.

kungfutonon Most lives are lived by default

I found Rejection Therapy to be an excellent way to recalibrate the way I think and get out of my comfortable stupor: http://rejectiontherapy.com

The new year is coming up. Might be time for the Rejection Therapy 30 Day Challenge again.

kungfutonon Has anyone sold a site on Flippa? Looking to learn more.

I've bought lots of websites from Flippa, but never sold one. Looks like too much work for not enough money IMO.

kungfutonon Ask HN: For those who dislike GoDaddy...

Yes, I agree 100%. The elephant slaughter was enough to move all my domains and recommend all my clients do the same.

I also refuse to support a website that registers GoDaddy, although I will do project work (cuz, hey, I need the money). They just won't get technical support from me and they are told upfront about that.

kungfutonon Ask HN: Review my Startup

It uses Facebook? I don't. Bummer.

Good luck on the app though.

kungfutonon How and Why for My 100 Days of Rejection Therapy

Your comment is why this video is so uplifting for me (and millions of other people apparently). Instead of responding with bile and negativity, this girl Jackie responded in kindness and created an epic moment.

Those who look for fault and blame will always find it. Those who look for the goodness in people will find that too. She is more of a Zen Master than anyone I've ever seen.

EDIT: I thought Jia's request was fun. He just wanted a rejection but instead gave Jackie the opportunity to shine.
