lyonlim··on Fujitsu ScanSnap: One of the Best Hardware Investments I’ve Ever Made
I went down. this journey going paperless for my personal documents and office too.

Wanted to purchase the snapscan but found it too expensive. Went with HP officejet 8620 instead. Never looked back!

Scans single or double-sided straight to my email or a folder on my Mac.

For receipts, I use Scanbot on my phone or the printer's glass tray.

Saves so much time, space, and organizes your documents so much better!

Now, if only there's a way of displaying folders first in Finder..

lyonlim··on Ask HN: Examples of reliable software you enjoy using
I use HP officejet printer and pretty much never use any software to scan documents. I scan via their document feeder and it automatically transfers the PDF to a folder on my Mac. I digitise everything so this workflow is especially time-saving.

Curious: What would such an explosion on the moon cause to the positioning of its orbit around earth? Would that affect the tides on earth?
lyonlim··on Singapore witnesses the rise of the entrepreneur
It's true that the number of entrepreneurs in Singapore has increased dramatically, compared to 5 years ago when my cofounder and I started our company. When we started back then, many investors told us that to succeed, we needed to move to SV. However, being based in Singapore has numerous advantages.

My bootstrapped startup is not consumer focused, so having a large local population is not key. But working with corporates, it's a bliss being based here. There are hundreds of multinational companies, of which many base their (edit: regional) headquarters here. It's so easy for us to reach to potential customers, and from there, to expand to other regional and global offices of these multinational companies.

Hiring can be an issue, but it's not difficult to get work passes for skilled foreigners here. Yes, there are quotas for companies hiring foreigners, but these are largely for less skilled foreigners. Many foreigners study in local universities like NUS and in turn have a bond to work in Singapore after they graduate. If you have a degree from a good, recognised university, it's not difficult to get an employment pass here.
