corbett3000 commented on Ask HN: Vibe Coding for Technical-Ish Founders?    · Posted by u/corbett3000

Unless you have a solid understanding of network security, you are going to want a traditionally-educated technical cofounder (or an extremely talented team of lawyers on-staff).

Thank you for that reminder. Do you have any advice that directly addresses my question?
corbett3000 commented on Ask HN: Do you ever contact people who have had a positive impact on you?    · Posted by u/lethologica

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.
corbett3000 commented on Ram Dass has died   tricycle.org/trikedaily/r... · Posted by u/okareaman

I never understood the fascination with these gurus. They repackage old ideas and dress them up a bit before using them to lure in weak-willed and gullible devotees. Most, and Ram Dass was no exception, were incredibly flawed people, albeit intelligent and charismatic, with clear psychogical issues.

Dass bounced around between gurus that exploited women and men before returning to the US to do much the same. That, the drugs, and the lies over the years just makes whatever he says unpalatable.

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.

Thanks! I just added a note to the README mentioning it. I'm not sure how I forgot it.

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?

I wrote a similar tool in Node a while back that can delete by year and category:

https://github.com/spieglt/fb-delete

And one to download all "Photos of you", which Facebook doesn't include when downloading your data:

https://github.com/spieglt/fb-photos

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.
corbett3000 commented on Ask HN: If my company bills me out at $165/hr what should my salary be?    · Posted by u/isthispermanent

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.
