Toadsoup··on Ask HN: What board game do you like?
Awesome list here. Any of these games would be a great start.

The game 'Container' is surprisingly awesome. The box is deceiving and doesn't make it look particularly fun, but there is a lot of replay value. You have to change so much of your strategy each game due to how others are playing the game.

Other good ones include: Tikal, Space Dealer, Saint Petersburg, Acquire, and Art Auction

Toadsoup··on 3D Printing Vending Machine on the UC Berkeley Campus
I like this model. It makes a lot more sense to get people used to the technology without a huge upfront investment.

The biggest reason that I don't have a 3d printer is after the first week of making things, I have no idea what I would possibly use it for. Having a setup like this would be perfect as parts would still be rapid (compared to having them made & shipped) and it would save the large upfront expense.

Sure there may be some quality & operational issues to address, but that's fine.

A webcam might be useful for both the end user to watch his part being created and for the operator to remotely check for jams, clogs, messes, and other disasters.

Toadsoup··on The Onion releases fartscroll.js
You can open up the console on their site and change the scroll distance between noises.

It really seems like they should add some lorem ipsum text to give a better representation of farts in the wild.

Toadsoup··on Graphs that show America’s health-care prices are ludicrous
I agree that it is misleading.

The charts show the average cost for each country, then for US it emphasizes the outrageous edge cases.

A more fair representation would show all 3 segments for all countries. With the data presented, if we look at just the average costs the change is still significant but not as dramatic and shocking.

Healthcare costs are a real issue and is totally jacked up in the US, but representations like this take away credibility from the argument they are trying to support.

Toadsoup··on Why I won't steal your idea
In his article about not stealing ideas, Grega Stritar mentions karma and being a good person by not stealing. Yet for some reason, he also chose to use an unlicensed watermarked image from iStockphoto at the head of his article.

Perhaps I am reading to much into it, but it really seems to undermine his credibility and trustworthiness in this regards. He claims he is not willing to steal ideas, but he is willing (apparently) to steal images?

Where is the line actually at?

Toadsoup··on Ask HN: Open source app idea. Get rid of my gun app
I realize that you are trying to be facetious here, but I don't know of any cars that are specifically designed to cause harm to people.

And if there was one, how many do you want in your neighborhood?
