Another Saigonist here. Always up for ca phe sua da with HNers.

Do you happen to live in Saigon? If so I'd love to meet up.

If you are considering doing it in Vietnam (islands like Phu Quoc or Con Dao) then I may be able to help with logistics.

Thanks for sending out a tweet as my Twitter account without asking or telling me. I really wanted that. Who knows what this site will do with your credentials on other sites.

I think there are still plenty of easy avenues to search for the man's (or team's) identity. It would only be appropriate to crowdfund a pool of bitcoins for a bounty on discoverin…

Why don't we collaboratively blacklist or push down domains from our Google results? This could be a stopgap measure until Google incorporates such a feature including the collabor…

Oh, don't get greedy when taking supposed insider tips about a stock :)

Worst advice: Go back to school and get your bachelors in the middle of an economic bubble. Wait til it bursts, you can go back then when it's harder to find lucrative work.

The IRS is at least generous enough to let you make that quarter tax-free.
