Whoa! This really works. Who made it?
- staunch 18y agoI figured it was pg trying to prove a point, but now I'm not entirely certain...
- hrabago 18y agoThink maybe someone confused hacker for cracker. Edit: I believe this story used to link to http://ycombinator.com/party.html http://ycombinator.com/party.html .
- thaumaturgy 18y ago"hackers" and "crackers" are not mutually exclusive terms. A safe cracker for example has to have a lot of knowledge of locks and safes. I think some of HN's superiority complex is contributing to the negative attention it's getting right now. Maybe it would've been better to just admit that some things aren't being designed here as well as they should be, considering the focus and audience?
- chris11 18y agoYeah, I've been noticing the link name changing a couple times in the past few minutes, so it's obviously being worked on.
- paraschopra 18y agoMaybe this should be stopped ASAP. Links like these seem to be replicating all across HN
- ngrandy 18y agofor those who missed it, this comment refers to the hacking of this story. hacker news was briefly hacked, and this story was altered to link to a website (hosted at appjet) that let users edit the text of pg's profile. it was fixed within a half hour or so.
