Agreed! As someone who has to use a bunch of different computers/devices throughout the day I have been looking for a way to do this with computers I'm not logged into. Right now I use pastebin, but I'm thinking of building a

With all the data breaches by private companies, it's never a good idea to reveal pii to companies. To book a hotel room you will need some combination of 1. email 2. phone # 3. address 4. cc# 5. a physical drivers license/gov ID

I vaguely remember a post from you on reddit or HN or somewhere a long time ago when you were first getting ready for this trip and the responses were like "You're going to get robbed/break down in the middle of nowhere/

Does someone actually care enough to check the slip? The few times I've been late due to things like this (flat bike tire, crazy traffic, train delay, whatever) my boss was just like ...ok try not to let it happen again and possibly do

I really have no idea who to believe when it comes to the CHOP zone because there’s so many incentives to lie. I’m curious if anyone on HN lives nearby and can comment on their experience. Thanks.

I love that op shared their interview process though, I hope this becomes a new normal instead of it being a mystery.

I wouldn't call this an issue w/ google docs, just pick a consistent naming scheme like timesheet_john_smith_august_2015. Or even better, just make it so only John Smith can see John Smith's timesheets through sharing prefere

To a certain extent I agree. If you were really passionate about something like this you would make it happen regardless of your circumstances. Think about kids who grow up in impoverished island nations who make it to the MLB through sheer

I like this approach to incentivize seeding, this could create a boom in torrenting if it works decently well and enough people hop on board. Too bad this is only running on test net, understandably.

Does anyone else think that in an awful way this story is incredible advertising for Robinhood? How many young people are going to read this story and think they can trade 730K on margin? If you’re already broke there isn’t much downside, b

How?? I'm on a macbook air from 2011 and an iphone SE from 2012. Do you just pour soda all over them? Or has their laptop quality dipped in the last four years? I know that the butterfly keyboards were having all kinds of issues, but I

The catch is your degree will be from “University of the People” which will send red flags to hiring managers who check. Hopefully one day this will be a normal thing, but it’s questionable whether your degree will signal what you want it t

It’s not really clear if having a lot of these virtual tokens count the same as “wealth” though. Are there “wealthy” World of Warcraft players because WoW gold can turn into USD or are they just “rich?” I think it’s worth experimenting with
