I've been touring the world lately, doing huge amounts of drugs, destroying hotel rooms, having sex with random hordes of hot women, and making giant piles of money. Given that lifestyle description, I think it's pretty obvious what I do fo

There is no more relevant Hacker News than material relating to sexual fetishes. PG, you might want to rename the site "Sexual Fetish News" just to make that clear. Thanks for the karma, folks. I'm here all week. Don't forget to tip your wa

Your prospective partner's positions on both legality and equity seem reasonable to me. A startup is going to be full of risk regardless. I say take the leap of faith and go for it. Even if it all goes to hell, you'll learn a lot.

Thanks for setting me straight, unabomber. I would hate for you to sacrifice your mannerisms, which seem every bit as polished as the Mac OS.
