very few people with low body fat percentage will be 220 lbs unless they are 99th percentile height. (6'4''+) i would say the average athletic/fit person who is fairly lean (10-14% bf) [1] at a height of 6'0'' to 6'3'' will be anywhere from 165-205 lbs depending on frame, but very rarely more than 205 lbs now there are definitely healthy and athletic and strong people who are at or above 220 at those heights but they will most probably be "overweight"[2] (have excess body fat) or on exogenous hormones enabling them to gain a lot of extra muscle mass (most bodybuilders, nfl players, college football players,etc) [3] http://nattyornot.com/how-big-can-you-get-naturally-without-steroids/ http://nattyornot.com/how-big-can-you-get-naturally-without-...

Even if your numbers meant anything (they don't) what's your point? It's ok to discriminate against unhealthy people?

  Well that's cool, I guess HN isn't above some good old-fashioned fat-hate.

    Who's hating fat people? This is just reality - heavy people weigh more, the Segway motors can't handle the weight. Even if the motors could (they probably can), heavy people would use more battery. By the way, literally nobody said fat until you. We were talking about heavy people.

      Oh, I'm sorry I interrupted your dog whistle. Don't be such a creep, you're not fooling anyone.

        Would you like to take this to email and talk about it then? My email is publicly available in my profile.

        Why, ashamed of your bigotry being public?

        I disagree that I'm being bigoted. That's an extremely strong accusation to lever, when you are the only person in this entire chain bringing up fat hate. You call it dog whistling, for some reason, when usually that term is used in an occasion to rile up bigotry. I'm actually just discussing the seemingly low weight restriction on the device. Weirdly, it as if I'm actually targeting low-weight restrictions as an issue, so you've gone and broadsided someone who might actually be an ally to your cause. And to what end? Clearly it has something to do with being seen doing it, as you rejected my offer to have a private conversation with another unsourced ad hominem. I took a look at your other comments, because I was curious about the sort of personality that red herrings an engineering discussion into a weird attack against an entire forum for the comments of about four people. I have seen you repeatedly post direct insults that add absolutely nothing to the discussion - calling people idiots, challenging someone's knowledge about computer functionality without any attempt to source your own argument about why they were supposedly wrong. What is the source of the vitriol? Do you feel hatred for this forum, and the people here? If so, why are you here? Why do you relentlessly violate the as-written etiquette of this forum? What's your objective? As before, I'm happy to talk about this over email or even over a beer if you'd like. I think we'll soon hit that comment depth limit that HN seems to have (but I can never sort when that (kicks in)

    it's only dwarfs who hate people above 220lbs and 6'3".
