- vntok 7y agoWell it's true. The Hacker News audience is so specific it is not similar to any specific country's population, let alone world population (ie "people" in the general sense). That's certainly not to say the HN audience is an elite (it's not) but it is comprised of outliers in the sense of people having abnormal jobs and/or abnormal interests compared to the average population in any city-sized slice taken pretty much anywhere in the real world.
