I need to build a bot that detects and replies to these comments:
"Because n people voted it so.
'On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups.'"
- antirez 15y ago+1, and Honestly this is much more in topic for hackers than "how to avoid to get gamed by your VC in ten rules".
- scarmig 15y agoWait, there's more to hacking than funding and getting acquired?
- antirez 15y agohacking has nothing to do with money. It is a side effect that a few hackers will get rich. May will just contribute a lot of interesting things for a normal salary, possibly doing this great things in their free time.
- vwoolf 15y agoAgreed. Especially because these replies so seldom make an argument: they rarely say, "this shouldn't be on Hacker News for well-considered reasons x, y, and z." They (usually) just make assumptions about what should or shouldn't be on HN.
