Think 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

  "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?
