You clearly failed to understand what 'hacker' means in this site's context, which is here a general term for a tech-savvy, overall outside-of-the-box thinker that desires to read a variety of interesting things (and maybe discuss them).
- soyboysam 9y agohn started getting interested in bitcoin the same time as my parents.

- MikeTheGreat 9y agoSorry to nitpick, but - Your link shows some early posts on HN about BitCoin How do you know when his parents got interested in BitCoin? (Otherwise, how can you demonstrate his statement is incorrect?)
- rdiddly 9y agoI stopped mentioning my parents the same time I moved out of my childhood room.
- thanatropism 9y agoI moved out of my childhood's room but still have an active conversation (if by WhatsApp only) with the folks. We have been discussing Israel a lot this week, for example. You should appreciate your parents while they're there, they are finite beings.
- rdiddly 9y agoTrue for everyone whose parents are still alive, and aren't horrible people from whom the child should keep their distance! But that's all really beside the point. Someone was comparing HN to their parents, to imply that HN is full of old farts, whereas I used the same shitty associative logic to say that anybody who compares things to their parents probably still lives with them. Fun stuff!
