What's the point of that exactly? Supposed to be amusing?

Nope. I'm also not a developer.

There is an important distinction between developer and engineer. Anyone can become a developer, engineering on the other hand requires a bunch of training.

First, let me put it this way: you can do perfectly alright without a college degree, however, you can only rise so high. You must not expect to be the next Gates who is obviously an exception.

Secondly, college is not about only about learning. Queue the "Don't let schooling get in the way of your education" spiel. It's experience. I'm not even talking about partying and getting laid, which are still experiences, but professional experience where you go a talk to a professor that you liked for four hours arguing how machines will never be truly intelligent.

So, yes, I think you should definitely go to college and do your startup part-time. The startup might not work out, and you will have the degree forever thus allowing for other prospects. Besides, who knows how you'll feel in ten years.

To be frank, this isn't a startup. This is a weekend project.

Also, the generic random background photos on the homepage just don't make sense.

You see, about a year and a half ago this was what HN was actually like.

So this is what it has come to? Reddit links were not sufficiently nonsensical? Shall we start posting memes now?

Privileged sounds right. What makes him think that he gets to decide.

Of course Gawker would soy that.

Isn't Chitika the largely discredited company that basically invented nonsensical stats a few months ago?

Why would you want to force something on a child that young? Why would you want to basically indoctrinate your child with something?

How about, instead, developing reasoning skills and the ability to make their own decisions and then actually letting them decide what they want to do? Crazy, I know!

All speculation, guess work, no external sources, no reproducible results.

Paranoid stoners is my guess.

It's important to note (when the article title is pure link-bait) that it's Galaxy S1 that's mentioned.
