    Wouldn't an electronic receipt serve that purpose just as well?

    Ask HN: Can we kill the receipt?

    I'm getting pretty frustrated with having to track tiny pieces of paper for expense reports, and, personally, I hate that even if I tell the clerk I don't want a receipt, it still …

    Ask HN: Pace of life post startup

    It's been about 5 or 6 months (unbelievably) since I moved on as a startup founder. I've found that the pace of life in a semi-normal non-tech, non-startup job is quite slower and …

    Np. Would love to hear about your travels. Feel free to ping me for more ideas/details. I've traveled pretty extensively in Central America and Southeast Asia, and a bit in Europe.…

    Huh. Never had any trouble there and I stayed out every night. Maybe I just looked like a enough of a sloppy backpacker, although I don't think I was traveling with valuables and i…

    San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua is spectacular. For something a little more remote, Cahuita, Costa Rica is great too and is not far from the surfing mecca of Puerto Viejo. I bet you ca…

    Public loans are discharged upon death, so there's that. Private loans are not though, and there can still be tax consequences for public loans. I think the most important theme to…

    Thank you for the insightful response to a comment that frankly felt a bit baiting. I admire how you're approaching the problem at HireArt, and am thankful that the current wave of…

    I've heard that companies will sometimes pay candidates they know/like to go to one of these programs to learn to code. Seems a bit risky, but I'd like to hear whether someone has …

    The bit teaching kids to farm seems like a straw man regarding what is most important to learn. Learning to farm and learning to code are not mutually exclusive, and may even requi…
