Your life sounds like it sucks because you did not use the consciousness altering properties of drugs to decide how to meet life on it's own terms and do your work here on earth. Doing drugs while you are young is a great way to avoid beco

You should read a book called The Genesis of Artistic Creativity, by Michael Fitzgerald. The thing that you are talking about that many great hackers and painters have in common is a high functioning subtype of aspergers syndrome. The per

or e) the drivel in this study is an example of winning at propaganda by getting people sucked into superficial debates over the wrong questions, which are formulated to stick in peoples heads on repeated hearing. Get them asking the wrong

Right. We all know that Carl Sagan, as well as most musicians, have horrible memories and suck at learning because drug use fried their brain. Marijuana doesn't impair learning. Stupidity (like this study) impairs learning. Marijuana mod

No one should ever travel to Dubai for any reason. You do not have any recourse if they decide to fuck you.

BTW, most use of marijuana is not for fun, but for intellectual or sensual stimulation, or religious/spiritual reasons, or for medical reasons. You are unfairly marginalizing and minimizing an experience you don't understand if you write a

.88 oz lasts about 3 weeks, depending on the quality. I know, cause, um, a friend told me.

That totally sucks for you. How much money/time did you sink into this, and do you have investors yet?

Dude. Its called culture. The totality of relevant experiences most of us share that shape our worldview. Have you heard of it? Banning diablo 3 from hacker news would be like banning discussions of fairy tales in a forum on archtypal ps

I must play this game until my fingers wear off. I wish I could start today. I've been sitting there hitting refresh for over a day now. They need to hurry. Another few months of checking for D3 updates 240 times an hour and this become

It wouldn't replicate too many copies or it would draw attention to itself and risk an antibody being developed for all the copies. But we're confusing sentience with logical reasoning. A sentient computer probably won't reason logically a

From the perspective of the web as a giant brain, this has got to be freaking twitter out. Each time people switch like this, that route becomes better greased. Each time this happens, it becomes easier for the giant web brain to reroute

I gotta add something to this. Bill Gates is also not evil. I reread this and it sounds like I think he's evil. No. Not at all. The system is evil, but not Gates himself. He's doing a lot of awesome work right now. The world needs hi

predicating my life on these hucksterish immortality wishes would rob it of all meaning while I'm alive, and then I'd still be dead.

All these people seem to admire PG, but the way to emulate him is to stop trying to emulate someone else so strongly, stop trying to create an identity by taking giant pieces from people you admire, and take the risk of digging into discove

Yeah. But. Um. Those tests suck? It's officezilla. The cadence is all wrong. Say it over and over again. Too much at the end. It flows like a boulder swims. Normal people, when they hear office, think "I hate the office.", and normal

I got a question for all you people who follow PG real close. Do you think 23 year old PG would be following someone like 2008 PG this obsessively, or be sick with people who worship someone like this? Nothing against PG. Just curious.

It'd be PG, Techcrunch, and twitter really big and the good stuff small.

I wasn't talking about your case in particular. These cases are different. I'm just saying that the popular (wrong) "wisdom" is that ideas are worthless, and that's an example of a pre-post fallacy. I'm talking about the guy above you who

That's a start. The next step is to not present officezilla to anyone you want to think positively of your project. You look like you are doing very good work and are going to get a good shot at making it. It'd be a shame to have it unfa

Your story sounds inspiring. I'm just about to pull in some money from an angel kind of like you are. We are in a very similar boat. My start up in not software related though. In the spirit of helping you to make your business better, I

I think this kind of bullshit is the new conventional wisdom. It all depends the idea. Ideas are valubale in exactly those cases where the idea is an elegant solution to a big problem. There was a point where the Polio vaccine was just an

I'd much rather play Nintendo than play outdoors, and I think most of their fans would agree. So I doubt this matters to them.

I don't know. Who is "We all?" I think people who know have been saying Bill Gates is smart for ages. I really do truly hate Microsoft, from the bottom of my heart, because how bad and ugly most of their stuff is weighs deeply on my sens

Is this supposed to refute me or prove my point? Because of the taste of Zune fans, I can't be sure. The best thing I can say about zuneoriginals.net might be lipstick on a pig. If you caught me on a generous day.

Yes. You don't get it. I don't get it. Most people can't. Most people who think they do are fooling themselves. My favorites (to hate) are new age people who think everything their guru says relates to quantum physics in a deep way even
