Just read his series of post over his ordeal. He really has had a rough time.
Guys (and gals) of HN, let see if our little community can get to together to help Richard enjoy his last days (and maybe provide a bit for his family if we do really well).
Most of us can miss $20, and Richard and his family need it more than must of us do..
- emhart 13y agoI was feeling for him & those that knew him, but purely observing, as I was well outside his circle of influence. Then I read your comment and snapped back to humanity, remembered that this was a person and I was a person and I'm doing OK enough to extend some cash, regardless of the separation of our worlds. Thanks for posting your comment.
- donohoe 13y agoDone - and anyone else reading this should do. It takes seconds and you won't even miss the 3 lattes it could buy you.
- sliverstorm 13y agoSide note - is that really what people are paying for lattes now?
- miles_matthias 13y agoNo, $3-$5 last time I got one.
- emhart 13y agoI tend to go soy + an extra shot, dings me for $6-ish

- atwebb 13y agoI was pretty surprised at how easy PayPal has made it. I know that people prefer other services and the reasons they do, but at least PP has been moving forward in their ease of integration. Noticed it on Bandcamp recently as well. Just type amount, enter email and password then confirm and done (assuming you've got PP setup already).
- Trufa 13y agoI work with PayPal and to be honest my dislike doesn't come from the user experience but the developer side, the api, the tools, the interface, they are all broken, it is amazingly demotivating.
- atwebb 13y agoI worked with it years ago and had a similar experience. I guess I was try to say the recently I had a few pleasant, easy transactions. Upon further inspection, that might not be something to be too excited about.

- agumonkey 13y agoGood way to word it.
- miles_matthias 13y agoI don't know Rich but anyone who makes as much of a commitment to the web as he has deserves a lot of respect. I donated and am looking forward to see how the HN community helps out in a few weeks.
- blinkingled 13y agoDone - anyone else wondering, it's very easy, so please just do it if you can afford it and hopefully it will help him in big or small way.
- cstrat 13y agoDonated, hopefully it makes a difference to him and his family.
