Followed by a "How Old Do You Feel?" poll?
I am 30 but still feel 25. My dad is in his 60s but also still feels like he is 25. Lol.
I've felt about 55 since I was 15.

#32The fact that the ranges aren't equal makes it pretty useless to parse, unless entered in a spreadsheet later, and I couldn't be bothered to do that. There's no reason to have one category for the 5 years 16-20, and the most common age group of Internet savvy working age adults to be lumped in two 10 year "26-35" and "36-45" ranges. Oh well. It's just for fun I guess.
I could understand smaller age ranges for younger folks because they’re developing at a more rapid pace. For example 30-40 age range would group together people with relatively similar life experiences, but a 10-20 age range would not.
Sure, but this is a forum for entrepreneurs and software engineers, it does not target the world demographic.
To be honest, I don't understand what "they develop faster" means either. One year of age is objectively the same length whether you're 10 or 90. What has growth speed and brain development got to do with anything?

#33Is age really an unsigned byte?
Age is definitely a signed byte, unfortunately. Nobody has ever reached 127, and -1 is valid for foeti.

#34What’s the point of this ? And will there be a follow up poll “which month were you born on” ?
Yes.

#38> 105-255 > 2 points Why am I not surprised.
Is this the "lizardman constant" showing up?

I posted this exact poll this week, with proper ranges, but deleted it when I saw that HN had re-organised the items seemingly at random (just as it must have done here as well).

If you give people power, they'll use it to fuck with it. - Boaty McBoat Face
From The Catcher in the Rye:
> If you had a million years to do it in, you couldn’t rub out even half the “Fuck you” signs in the world. It’s impossible.
> It was so nice and peaceful. Then, all of a sudden, you’d never guess what I saw on the wall. Another “Fuck you.” It was written with a red crayon or something, right under the glass part of the wall, under the stones. That’s the whole trouble. You can’t ever find a place that’s nice and peaceful, because there isn’t any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you’re not looking, somebody’ll sneak up and write “Fuck you” right under your nose.
I think that's also the point that J. D. Salinger may have been trying to make here.
Peace is a good, well constructed, true and correct data set. There is no peace. One must always correct for the lack of peace.
