Amusingly accurate, but you forgot to include an article about the US Patent system, and a few Marco/Daring Fireball/etc articles on the latest event or rumor in Apple Land. Oh, and those Elon Musk and Tim Cook articles could use a few more zeroes tacked to the end of their comment counts.
While we're at it, a parody of the average HN comment thread would have to include:
When will people get the message about grey text on light backgrounds?
WHY DID THE MODS CHANGE THE TITLE IT WAS PERFECTLY DESCRIPTIVE BEFORE AND NOW
IT ISN'T
Separate comment thread discussing Stack Overflow's moderation.
Helpful link to Wikipedia article explaining some concept explicitly mentioned
in story or parent comment.
Is this site down for anyone else?

jbigglesworth48, I just wanted to let you know, you've been hellbanned.
Ugh, Flash video/bootstrap/touch gestures?

Can we stop talking about Steve Jobs already? I mean, he did XYZ but he
wasn't exactly Q.
Steve Jobs
How is this even relevant to the story?

I don't mean to be pedantic, but you made a spelling or grammatical error.
Well, actually...
This story is *Not HN Worthy*, any Freshman CS student should have learned
this within seconds of stepping into his first lecture.
Actually, there are a lot of non-programmer HN readers who are interested in
this, you need to check your programmer/college educated/computer loving/
first world/middle class/white/male/young/old privilege.
Insightful and relevant comment containing a subtle joke.
Please excuse me while I completely misunderstand this joke and write a
fervent argument against something the author never argued.
Please excuse me while I explain the joke in excruciating detail.
I think the author meant X.
It was a joke.
I think the author was joking.
I should know better, but I'm going to argue with you anyways.
Guy who didn't get the joke here, I saw your comment before the ones
explaining the joke, let's have a giant flamewar.
I don't get this joke. Can someone explain?
Another excruciatingly detailed explanation of the joke.
Zero responses to the actual comment.
This comment is *what's Wrong with HN*
Recent Apple decision is bad, and I am saying this *as a guy who owns
APPLE_PRODUCT*
EDIT: How could I forget:
I didn't actually read the article, but I'm going to start arguing about what
I *thought* the article was about, based on the title.
EDIT: Why am I being downvoted?
and of course, my personal favorite:
Ok, go ahead and downvote, me, assholes, see what I care!
- jamesbritt 14y agoYou omitted my fav hn cliche: "This."
- scoot 14y agoThis.
- firefoxman1 14y agoAgreed.
- hollerith 14y agoThat's actually from the Well dating back at least to the 1990s.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoThis. ...is a plague of reddit and other internet forums, too ;)
- KC8ZKF 14y agoThe title is misleading. Every story has a complaint about the title not conveying enough information, thereby forcing the reader to RTFA (or at least click on the link).
- rachelbythebay 14y agoEvery one of those things should be in a dropdown box next to the "comment" link on a story. Then you could just register yourself as being in one of those buckets instead of posting a message which says as much. It would save time and maybe even reduce the comments to those which don't fall into one of those categories. Well, I can dream...
