  Right around the time I started reading Hacker News, there was this post: "How I Hacked Hacker News (with arc security advisory)" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=639976 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=639976 After reading that, I figured it'd be worth sticking around to learn a few things!

  (minor paraphrasing for concision) OP (John Gruber): The iPhone 4 is beautiful to behold and feels like a valuable artifact. It’s like a love letter to Dieter Rams. btmorex: A love letter to Dieter Rams? Do other people actually like reading stuff like this? I mean, regardless of what you think of the iphone 4, that level of praise almost makes me feel bad for him. It's like romantic love for an object. dieterrams: I like reading it very much. ^^^^^^^ http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1473209 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1473209

  Wow, I hadn't seen that exchange between sanj and cperciva. It's hilarious! Incidentally, one of my favourite HN moments also involves cperciva - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1201012 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1201012.

  Wow, thanks for that, what a great read. Definitely considered the finest HN thread I've seen. Maybe if we get enough of these, we can have a top 10 list..
