Hacker Island, anyone? Or are we too busy/pale-skinned for a tropical island?
It should be located across from Reddit Island though, and smaller. Oh, and everyone on Hacker Island must have a hatchet and a monocle.
Perhaps a cave would be more appropriate.
- jasonwilk 16y agoHacker Island would be sweet. PG, you got $17K on it? You can have 6% of the island
- bhousel 16y agoIt would just turn into Reddit Island eventually anyway..
- kyro 16y agoWe'd also attract many tourists confused about whether they were on Hacker Island or actually on Reddit Island, worried that they had somehow arrived at the latter.
- samratjp 16y agoOf course, the quality of eavesdropping (obligatory: http://www.paulgraham.com/cities.html http://www.paulgraham.com/cities.html) is quite better at the former.
- sliverstorm 16y agoWell, a disinterest in tropical islands and the sole requirements of power and internet opens all northern and souther islands, so it's a facet to be considered! Hell, so long as there was a source of food and a volunteer group willing to service the windmills when they froze, we could dig some caverns in Antarctica! The 'Frozen Hackathon', 24/7/365. I'm thinking the inevitable resulting Linux distro could be called "Linux OnIce", or just "OnIce" for short.
- zitterbewegung 16y agoWhy does it feel like if we actually made a hacker island it would start to resemble LOST complete with EMP generators and bunkers?
