Hacker News Reader

I remember HN back when it was called “Startup News”. I wrote about it 18 years ago: https://paulstamatiou.com/why-i-enjoy-startup-news

Stammy! In an odd coincidence, you came to mind the other day as I was putting on deodorant.

Many years ago you wrote a post where you called a deodorant company to ask how many "shoups" to use (where a shoup is one swipe of deodorant).

I don't seem to be finding the post now.

Was that you, or do I have you mixed up with someone else?

I’m now weirdly keen to hear the answer to this. Telenovella level tension on HN.

Stammy! What are you doing here?!?!? Get your deodorant back on the 405 to Ventura!

Haha, unfortunately I don't think that was me. At least I don't recall anything about deodorant.

Hey Paul, thanks for your writings. I enjoy reading your blog. You were one first blogs I started following with an RSS reader (after Vicki :)).

Thanks for following along!

Unrelated. But what does the string "0x74BD9fe33990d1b49B196C416493186F5BB68c53" mentioned in your profile mean?

Eth address. It was needed at some point to verify YC alumni crypto wallets, I think as part of OrangeDAO
