People aged 1-20: How did you find HN? HN isn't easily found on search engines (except for the exact keywords "hacker" and "news"). I can't imagine how a 15 year old is stumbling upon Hacker News, other than a mentor or parent referring them.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
After a certain age, "making more" can't be followed with "love". Or so I've heard. If I am aware of the correct meaning, that is. (Not native.)
40 here, still going strong. 18-22 times a month according to my wife's daily tracker. Exercise, exercise, exercise.
But not mentally. I've suffered from alcohol addiction since the past 4 years. I've been diagnosed with soft bipolar disorder and acute social anxiety. Occupational hazards I guess. :)
So, people who are below 30, watch your health! That's all you have left as you get older.
58, writing more code, having more fun, reaching more people, & making more $ than ever, all of which still seem limitless: edw519's Hacker Quality of Life | ?? | ** | ** | ** | ** | ** | ** | ** | ** | ** | ***** ------------------------------- 10 20 30 40 50 60
We had one of these just three months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5536734
I'm so old I use a combination of lit and unlit candles to represent my age in binary on my birthday cake so I don't set off the smoke alarm.
A coupla years ago I told 'em they could use one candle if they striped it blue, red, black, gold. They didn't get it.

>edw519 ever making a post as low as you just did. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4529609
At least quote me less misleadingly: "I don't remember edw519 ever making a post as low as you just did." - and it looks like you had to dig pretty deep to find something to make your counterpoint, too. And the post itself? Even if we're retroactively judging someone for voicing a less than flattering opinion about a person who is by now dead, it's not nearly as low as this ad hominem attack above. Is that the worst…
this statement and your whole post is just brain fart - i.e. outlandish conclusion made without knowing any facts or even basic understanding of context.
The HN community response to Aaron's cry for help was spearheaded by the above mentioned top-voted comment and was basically a prudish guilty verdict from a jury of his peers. It has prominent place in the history and is known outside of this echo-chamber, so no need for the "research".
