zbushon Soylent on the latest Vice piece

I'm commuting 2+ hours twice a week for school, and I don't have time to actually eat (real) food in between work and school. Having a decent meal replacement for that is helpful, so that I don't end up eating garbage.

zbushon Ask HN: Advice on leaving corp for startup

Where did you look for consulting? Just anywhere and everywhere that seemed relevant? We're just joining the accelerator now, so we aren't going to have much to pay out for living expenses for the team. Up front, it's probably going to be funded with my (minor) savings, and student loans if I can't get freelance work.

Just because it's what I want to do, doesn't mean it's smart. :) Thanks for the support. I'm just nervous about making the jump I suppose.

Thanks and good luck! :)

What's the name for this style of background? I've been looking for how to do it, but I have no idea what to even search for. I'm undecided as to whether it's nice or distracting and want to play with it a bit.

zbushon Send payouts with Stripe

Now that payment processors like Stripe and Balanced are providing very similar services, what serves to differentiate them? As each of these companies release features, they become closer and closer to converging to the exact same product. I'm seeing the same fees, the same abilities to payout, the same ability to act as a marketplace, with only a few very minor differences. Why should someone pick Stripe over Balanced, or vice versa?
