Long lost sibling, is that you? =) I am from the DRC living in SA and have been thinking of ways to build training and work facilities back home for youngsters! Been contemplating how to use a TopCoder type model, idk.

And dogs, I love dogs.

Re:Ask HN: My house might burn down in the next 24 hours. Suggestions? on Wednesday October 11, 2017 @02:14AM (#15447638)

This is true. A friends parents house burned to the ground. At their advanced age, the only thing they complained about were all the sentimental items they lost. You can always buy a new camera, but man, those wedding pictures and ornaments aren't quite as replaceable.

I recently started using tech's that have been around for a while, but that I had no need for, and though I'm fascinated by them can't stop but wonder why I am only using them today. So I'd like to know, how to HNers keep current?

Re:What was your best passive income in 2014? on Wednesday July 30, 2014 @10:32AM (#8108357)

This is an excellent post, I am looking to setup streams of passive income mostly for savings and to allow me to travel. Just never sure which itch to scratch :/
