I think, while I make a reasonable salary, I must be a bit more frugal than the large portion of HN readership in that I can always find 10 minutes of my day to cancel a doctor's appointment as opposed to paying $16 (the cost of lunch

Sadly, as much as I'd like to use Telegram or Signal rather than the usual suspects (sms, whatsapp, facebook messenger), it would require someone on the other end to receive my messages. The likelihood of convincing my friends/fam

I would suggest that speaks more about your social group than anything. And by which I'm not saying that negatively. You perhaps have a group of friends who are not big social media users or that use Facebook and the like to organise a

I've also been using Pass. It is excellent, however the problem is that there doesn't appear to be much in the way of support for mobile devices. Not in any solid, working way anyhow. I decided to try out dashlane ( http:/&#x
