You just added "karma cashgrab" to my lexicon.
I think that the HN crowd has more of a Silicon Valley business flavor to it. (As one might expect from a site sponsored by YC.) At the same time, the "Open source/Free Software/Unix Hacker" has a lot of overlap.
My issue with this article isn't its subject matter, but that it's written by ESR.
(Though in ESR's defense, I think it was through reading one of his articles or blog posts that I discovered the PG essays.)
