3eto··on Ask HN: My side project is ramen-profitable. What do I do now?
cool, it's fun to play with the arrows, might be something in there...this one is a bit convoluted but gives you another idea.

3eto··on What is the best charitable cause in the world?
I’ve been thinking about “earning to give,” my rationale was that you shouldn’t leave the corporate job to join a nonprofit, if you left, it’d add competition for the nonprofit job, which is already competitive, and leave an empty slot that might be filled by a not so charitable “next person”. Also, by staying in the for profit job, you can influence your corp and peers, driving more donations and engagement. But if you can launch a new nonprofit, then by all means, do that.

Something not mentioned in the article, if you are wondering why they use smartphone technology to track the mosquito nets, it’s to try to stop people from selling the very same net that can save their lives.

3eto··on Ask HN: Are you looking for pro bono work? London, UK
I can appreciate the suspicion. No agency involvement whatsoever. This is an idea evolved from conversations with people without a home at the shelter I was volunteering in the winter. Our shelter was only open on Mondays [1] and the shower was a big hit, but the shelter on Tuesdays didn’t have showers. When I spoke with my girlfriend, who was volunteering at the Big Issue Invest [2] at the time, about offering the shower at our place on Tuesdays, during that conversation it became clear that my idea wasn’t sustainable nor scalable, and now we are 11 people committed to getting this done. If you’re in London and want to meet me or come to our next meeting to confirm our legitimacy, you’re more than welcome. Is this helpful?

3eto··on Ask HN: Pro bono work needed to offer free showers for the homeless
Correct. And it's easy to verify, just go to a food bank, shelter or centre and ask around how they found the place, pretty much everyone I've asked has said they searched online, so the website is actually pretty important.
