Hey, money is more important than ethics or morals to some people. You got a problem with that?

No. I don't trust Facebook, but then again, I haven't trusted Facebook in a long time (which is why I deleted my account).
Except that my account isn't deleted even when Facebook said they would after 14 days. That's just one example.
But the reason why the very liberty of citizens of the United States is under threat is because people aren't willing to stand up to what is right if it's inconvenient for them. They will instead rationalize and look for more proof and stick their heads in the sand.
HN is chock full of these people.

Your answer makes me want to quit HN forever and move to the planet Mars where humans don't live.

If even ONE SINGLE CHILD is found and returned back into the loving arms of a parent due to a repurposed 404 page, the initiative is a great success.
Don't you think?

Zerply is pretty cool. It needs more templates though (even premium ones). Why is it so slow to release more?
Again, I really like Zerply and highly recommend it for creatives.

I'm very sorry you went through that. I actually couldn't finish reading it - too unsettling. I hope you and yours are okay and this is behind you.

The "Thank you Apple" title sounds like a gushing fanboi love letter. I almost didn't read the post (which is quite good, glad I did).
I just think the title should be a little more clear (like add a "not" at the end).

A tree won't BS you like some people, and it won't change it's story a year from now.
So yeah, you pretty much got it.

Only in places like Hacker News is there a consensus opinion that Facebook is "a new addictive and time wasting form of entertainment who's contribution society is null or negative"
You either know that statement is untrue but lie anyway, or you haven't been outside and seen a tree in real life for over a year. Many people of all walks of life think Facebook is an "addictive and time wasting form of entertainment who's contribution society is negative."
If you honestly believe otherwise, you need to push away from the computer desk and interact with normal human beings in the flesh STAT.

Compliments on the domain name Lookmark. Clever. Did you have to buy if from someone, or was it available to register?

Is Facebook dying? Yes, because lately, everyone has been asking "is Facebook dying?". It's a self-fulfilling prophesy.
However, I also say yes because many people I know have abandoned their accounts or use their accounts reluctantly nowadays.
So yes, Facebook will continue to bleed users and die.

Don't feel bad bro. It's tough out there. We all end up short at one time or another. Chin up.

Identify quickly what your productive hours are and what aren't. For example, I can't seem to hunker down and get sufficiently focused until after lunch. I tried battling it but to no avail.
Now, I do other stuff (laundry, errands, physical work) in the morning and start on the computer at noon. Works much better.
Sleep? For me, some weeks I'll live on 4 hours a night, but then I get super depressed and will jack up the sleep to 6 or more. I need to improve on this, so I'm probably not one to take advice from.
