stefek99on Taco Bell drops website, goes app-only

That's a very bold statement, must have required a lot of 'balls' to make such decision.

28yo Web Dev, married (with babies), no debt, corporate JOB (just over broke, one month of expenses in my bank)

"What would YOU do?"

I'd definitely go travelling. See the world. Understand culture / problems / what drives people.

Suggestion - http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Hackbase - get yourself to Canary Islands (plenty of cheap RyanAir flights from the UK) and figure what to do next from there :)

Greenpeace / Animal rights defenders are now on the way

[just kidding]

stefek99on The Tech Beach – Revamp your app design in 31 days

For the record - another hacker venue at Canary Islands - http://ch.totalism.org

#coliving #coworking but at a much better rate. I would say it's very 'back to the roots' and all the expenses ever incurred (2.5+ years now) are in the spreadsheet and the daily rate is the reflection of the actual cost.

You can read on their wiki: "Non-for-profit, open budget = 100€ a week contribution."

(and that 100€ - 135$ - includes food and stay)

Been there November 2013, highly recommended. Wish I was able (timewise, employmentwise, familywise) to visit / reside there more often.

stefek99on Emails From Schmidt And Sergey Brin Show Agreements Not To Hire Apple Workers

I cannot believe they were discussing such sensitive issues in plain text!

I'd be worried to admit that I signed up for free pack of crisps from two different emails breaking T&C

My tweet: https://twitter.com/stefek99/status/448045158836097024

What the hell were they thinking?

I just wonder if anyone will go to prison... And how will stakeholders / stock market react?

"I tried submitting some free startup ideas of my own on Github here"

https://github.com/genesisdotre/wikify/wiki/Main-Index-Title...

Same here. Although my intention was to put IP into public domain before signing employment contract.

(first step was to find suitable wiki / collaborative engine to put everything in place)

stefek99on Ask HN: How do you earn your money?

I read most of the comments, except of 2-3 vey long essays (short attention span).

On my way to work (living wage) I'll be listening to: - Millionaire Fastlane - Icarus Deception

I miss my freedom so much. Working because I have to pay off the car that is getting me to work. #insane

stefek99on Ask HN: How do you earn your money?

Excuse me? Are you a student working part-time earning £30,000 a year?

(I would say that's pretty much)

Correct me if I'm wrong.

stefek99on Pop-Up House: The affordable passive house

> For the structure and insulation of a PopUp-House building (floor, walls and ceiling) it costs about 200 €/m² including labour. To this cost must be added all the finishes: waterproofing, exterior finishes, interior finishes, electricity, plumbing, heating, etc.

What would be the total total cost then?

stefek99on 2048

After reading some comments I finally understood... It's not about creating [2] [_] [4] [8] line of tiles, but summing them so there is a tile of value '2048' (silly me)

stefek99on IT consultant paid £2,000 a day to cover civil servant's job

Another silly article to my collection: http://linkbaiters.tumblr.com/post/77169841950/it-consultant...

stefek99on Today is The Day We Fight Back

Question:

What is going to happen with the script after the campaign? https://github.com/tfrce/thedaywefightback.js/issues/98

My personal view: I still don't get why it is bad, #pleasesurveilme --> https://twitter.com/stefek99/status/433307672838819840

stefek99on I just wonder how many #netsec guys are working in Sochi?

Looks like you're either a brand new user or your posts have not been doing well recently. You may have to wait a bit to post again. In the meantime feel free to check out the reddiquette, join the conversation in a different thread, or verify your email address.
