whoa

the first one is it! Thank you so so much! I tried hnsearch, but I guess I didn't have the right terms. Thank you!

This is hilarious. This is one of those "in the right place at the right time" things. Vandalism like that usually only is up for a few minutes, apparently the same few minutes when DuckDuckGo was crawling that page. Amazing.

How is this funny? As someone who occasionally votes Republican, I'm tired of being told by my peers that I must be stupid and evil for doing so. For the record, I've never met a Republican that doesn't believe in gravity.

Unfortunately 'Republican' has become synonymous with the extreme-religious-right - itself a likely small subset of all Republicans. It's this 'subset' who actively promote certain world views - a popular one being that evolution is only a 'theory' or a hoax. It's no wonder those views attract the occasional joke or ridicule... it's low hanging fruit. Really easy, and really funny.

I'm not a US citizen, so can't vote, but if I could I would very seriously consider voting republican, but for their extreme views on 'social' issues. I suspect I'm like a lot of other people in the US - fiscally conservative, socially liberal. Sadly for the Republican party, people like me are really only left with a choice of voting Democrat when faced with the prospect of our schools teaching our children that the Universe was LITERALLY created in 7 days.

Just my $0.02

I believe that you are missing the point: most Republicans do not believe in evolution because, as they say rather cluelessly "it is just a theory". Well, it turns out that gravity also is "just a theory".

All the people who vote Republican in my social network believe in evolution. I allow that I have seen news reports of people who tend Republican in other areas of the country who do not. Have you ever met a Republican creationist?

I would be interested to see polls on evolution belief of poor inner-city residents or unionized blue collar laborers who support Democrats. I expect the results would not be flattering.

You're correct, it's not flattering.

That was my first thought, but then my second thought was Easter Egg.

Seems like Ghostery is causing problems on Chrome.

Yep. Some of the code assumes the FB global is present, which I thought we had factored out, but apparently didn't.

It is a good idea, I just don't remember it being like that before. Thank you for informing me, though.

I could have swore that I posted before and didn't have to pay. Must have been a dream.

yep, as far as i know always. That's the way they make money. Not for offering your freelance services though.

I don't have experience with this sort of thing yet, but I'm going through something similar. I don't think it would be unreasonable for you to ask to see their earnings. Both you and the start-up are making a large investment and deserve to know as much about the other as possible. The likelihood that they will be successful, considering you will be employee number 4/5 will largely depend on you.

I disagree with the your dichotomy. It isn't whether the end-user likes the design, it is whether the design is useful. So useful that they don't even realize "design" is taking place.

Thank you, masonhensley. I really appreciate the advice. I think I will find the last link very helpful.
