Hacker News | Ask HN: Share a gem. Teach me and you.: "at you're looking for is what's most satisfying, I'll agree that introspection and experiment will tell you that. If you're looking for what you ought to do, what's really 'meaningful', it's not at all clear"
Discussion on one of my favorite quotes - Off-Topic - Wowhead Forums
Discussion on one of my favorite quotes - Off-Topic - Wowhead Forums: "'The world is meaningless, there is no God or gods, there are no morals, the universe is not moving inexorably towards any higher purpose. All meaning is man-made, so make your own, and make it well. Do not treat life as a way to pass the time until you die.
Do not try to \'find yourself\', you must make yourself. Choose what you want to find meaningful and live, create, love, hate, cry, destroy, fight and die for it. Do not let your life and your values and you actions slip easily into any mold, other that that which you create for yourself, and say with conviction, \'This is who I make myself\'.
Do not give in to hope. Remember that nothing you do has any significance beyond that with which imbue it. Whatever you do, do it for its own sake. When the universe looks on with indifference, laugh, and shout back, \'%^&* You!\'. Rembember that to fight meaninglessness is futile, but fight anyway, in spite of and because of its futility.
The world may be empty of meaning, but it is a blank canvas on which to paint meanings of your own. Live deliberately. You are free.'"

Hacker News | Technical cofounder wanted for disrupting the wedding industry
Hacker News | Technical cofounder wanted for disrupting the wedding industry: "As someone getting married Saturday, I can say that this would be a GREAT idea. The ridiculous amount of money we sank in to invitations really rubbed me the wrong way.
Also, something I noticed when we were going through all of this was the RSVP process is broke. Even if you provide a pre-addressed stamped post card with a checkbox on it, people still don't respond. I thought about some sort of barcode that can read by smart phones, that auto magically directs to a web site (or they can go to it manually). Either way, you get the idea.
Just some thoughts, but I would most definitely look at the RSVP industry too"

Hacker News | Ask HN: I know this isn't reddit, but please review my cannabis-related startup: "The basic idea is to aggregate all the ratings and allow you to search and filter by the effect or medical relief that you are looking for. A secondary goal with the site was to make it very work friendly. There is no pot porn or pictures of giant leaves. Definitely not geared towards the stereotypical pot heads, focusing on all the other pot heads in the world that you don't know about."

Marijuana Consumption, Smoking, Eating, And Drinking
Marijuana Consumption, Smoking, Eating, And Drinking: "Vaporizers
------- The first vaporizers (also called tilt pipes) were introduced in the 1970's. Vaporizers have a heating element built into them, the element heats the marijuana to a lower temperature than a flame would.
At these lower temperatures, the psychoactive ingredients (cannabinoids) are release from the plant material but some of the other harmful chemicals are not. Because of the lower (sub-flammable) temperature, a vapor is released, rather than smoke. See this for more info."
