nergal, I totally understand your concerns... The question is that the meaning of a "hacker" in this community has changed. Now it is more of a positive than a negative word. As a person who reads "Hacker News" everyday, here I'm looking for everything that would be interesting for me as a human being, that will be original and out of the box. Here I read news about life hacking and that break the usual concepts, about discoveries in science, etc... Technical progress is changing everything so fast that now it is really easy for a normal guy like me to get into science and make some applications related to brain waves for example. Despite from straying away from the literal meaning of the words "Hacker News" I think now this website is serving far higher goals. This also gives it great power and heavier responsibilities.
