- ABrandt 16y agoIf you're insinuating this is some kind of YC application stunt, I can assure you its not (didn't apply and no plans to). I do enjoy "hacking" non-computer systems though (a valuable skill they teach in business). I think social hacking can be quite amusing. Once I was pulled over for speeding 20 mph over the limit, with an expired license, and no proof of insurance. I was young. The officer had every reason to arrest me on the spot. When he asked me what the hell I was doing, I answered completely seriously, "Sorry Officer, but I've got extreme diarrhea and need to get out of this car." He took a step back and promptly told me to go home. Pretty simple but my friends couldn't believe I had the cahones to say that.
- timmorgan 16y agoI think it's in reference to your statement "I'm not a hacker in the technical sense." Which may imply you are a hacker in some other sense, e.g. social, as you have elaborated.
