So now we vote totally unsubstantiated reddit comments to the top of Hacker News? I have never heard of this and highly doubt it is true.

  How far into the Palo Alto startup scene are you?

    'Assertions made without evidence may be discarded without evidence.'

      True, but the lack of evidence is not proof of falsity, especially when the subject of discussion carries a stigma.

  Let the votes speak for themselves. If everyone thought this was absurd and contrary to their personal experiences, it wouldn't be at the top of the homepage.

    Well, it's either that or the upvoters simply find the topic intriguing and want to hear more discussion on the subject.

  You have never heard of this because it isn't socially acceptable to admit that you take drugs to work harder. The fact that you haven't heard of it doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist. What this comment says to me is that you aren't someone who would consider engaging in this sort of behavior and as such do not know people who engage in this sort of behavior. Depending on your length of time in the work force I bet you have worked alongside someone who has but they just never told you.
