This is Hacker News. Hacking is about using, in particular, technology in surprising ways that were not intended by the creators.

- jstummbillig 3y agoNo harm, no foul, because, what, it says "Hacker" in the title? I don't know, are we 12? The reason that hacking is even a thing: It's actually possible to break things in a responsible, non-destructive way (in contrast to most things in the physical world). If we skip the responsible part, we are just... breaking things and incurring costs. Why should that be okay?
- csiegert 3y agoIt’s GitHub, not HackerHub. That the story is reported on Hacker News is irrelevant.
- aleph_minus_one 3y agoBut I would expect a different sentiment of comments on a site called Hacker News.
- ThrowawayR2 3y agoThat it's being scoffed at on Hacker News ought to tell you how uncreative and trifling it is. It's a script kiddie stunt not remotely worthy of being considered actual hacking.
- ASalazarMX 3y agoThis is Hacker News after all, not Hack-The-World News.
