I'm glad I got to it before it was killed. It was, frankly, one of the more interesting posts that I happened to see yesterday. It's remarkable that he could do that, and considering how difficult it is he accomplished quite a mind hack.
That is one amazing story, I'm seriously impressed. Izzard always was one of a kind, with this he literally transcends himself. Whoever bumped that off HN does not have my gratitude, if there is anything at all that separates successful entrepreneurs from the failed ones it is stamina and the will to continue in light of hardship.
Deleting that is pretty much proof positive that HN moderation really is not doing a very good job.

Notably the Eddie Izzard topic was killed off...

I'm always amused at how people try to squeeze "hack" into defining a submission. I guess I love jargon hacks.
I missed that, do you still have the link somewhere ?

wow!! what a story. I can see why it got flagged for not being tech startup oriented, whatever. But wow, I would have upvoted it anyway.
