A nitpick about its translation of "Ma Nong" (码农): it doesn't mean "Number Cruncher". Although the "Ma" is the same character with "Hao Ma" (number), in describing the profession of programmer, i

OP here: we are also doing a launch special where every new sign ups will get 0.001 BTC on us. If you don't own any bitcoins yet, you'll get your first one with BWF :)

Ah! It's a joke (albeit a bad one, by me). The minimum friends limit to join is actually 50.

Some of them do. I'll add in the expiry date to the redemption key page today/tomorrow.

The deal is curated. All the mentioned apps were either from my personal experience using it or recommendation from HN. Great guidelines on choosing SaaS (noted for future deal curation). And you are right about the end times. I'll kee

I kinda forgot how I came up with the figure $294. I remembered (vaguely) it was taking one of the plan with the assumption that customer would stay for 3 years or so. I think the 50% discount applies even when you upgrade. Let me shoot an

by bearwithclaws 13y ago
It depends. But good point, I'll add this to the redemption key page on which providers automatically renew and which did not. Thanks!

Wow, I remembered including this in the 4th issue of Hacker Monthly[1] 3 years ago(!). 1. Hacker Monthly #4 (I just made it free), if you like to read this in PDF/MOBI/EPUB format along with few others timeless HN articles: http://hackermo

What's beautiful about Malaysia is that it's somewhere in between. The major cities (KL/Penang) are like developed world, but the living costs are relatively (way) lower.

Do it, and come to Malaysia. Savings that lasts 5-10 years in the states would lasts you at least 20-30 years here. Most people here speaks English fluently, and the startups/hackers culture here are vibrant and growing. My good friend quit
