- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoWell, this website still uses it...
- 4ad 14y agoNo. On this site hacker doesn't have any of its original meaning, it means IT-startup entrepreneur. Don't forget that this site was named Startup News before.
- kleiba 14y agoSo why was it renamed then? The name hackernews was actually chosen to reflect that this news site should not only be strictly about IT startups. http://ycombinator.com/hackernews.html http://ycombinator.com/hackernews.html
