Erdős was an amphetamine fiend from when he was 58 until the end of his life. Lots of guys I knew in college were unhealthily addicted to caffeine and sugar. It's worth noting unhealthy habits.
- wheels 18y agoDo you come here to read 10 year old stories about writers that had a drug addiction in college? I don't. I come here for technical and startup news and to discuss those things with people that are knowledgeable of them. As a founder, honestly, while stories like this are interesting, it's just not worth the time investment of tracking the site if it's not focused on the topics above, and I fear that as it becomes more general, more of those people who come here for similar reasons, whose opinions I value, will also stop frequenting the site.
- vinutheraj 18y agoEh ... the people who frequent this site, found this an interesting article, thats why the upvoted it I think. I don't think Hacker News has to always adhere to just startup news and technical news, this is a breath of fresh air. At the end of the day it depends on Hacker News viewers to upvote this knida of a news !
