- willlll 14y agoI always vote every option in any poll that you can pick more than one thing.
- kintamanimatt 14y agoWhy? Why fuck up the data like that? The thing with HN Polls is you've no way to create polls in which you can select only one option. All you can do is list the options you want included in the poll, nothing else. On a side note, your personal website is fucking hilarious.
- sgt 14y agoI have to admit I clicked both my real age and also on 10. Pg needs to fix his polls, because clearly we can't help ourselves.
- vacri 14y agoSome people just want to watch the world burn.
- Posibyte 14y agoI found his activity graph on github very interesting: https://github.com/will https://github.com/will
- polymatter 14y agoAmusing that the pattern isn't perfect because of his legitimate git commits adds noise.
- pseut 14y agoOh, just, wow.
- michaelkscott 14y ago+1 for his site, really funny.
- kaoD 14y agoEnjoy your blinking high-contrast giant fucsia text.

- jacquesm 14y agoWould you like me to treat you as under 10 or over 90 from now on, or both at the same time? Please put your reading glasses on and take the dummy out of your mouth, then re-read the poll text: "Please be honest and click one answer only!"
- danboarder 14y agoAs I am writing this, there are 8 under 10 and 8 over 90. I think that's a good clue as to a 'margin of error' that should be applied to the results overall. Edit: wow that went up fast. Now there are 20+ under 8/over 90... I guess whenever an option says "don't abuse this option" there are those who just can't resist.
- cynwoody 14y agoQuantcast thinks [1] the top three age groups for this site are 35-44 (37%), 45-65 (24%), and 25-34 (15%). Of course, Quantcast also estimates the gender ratio at 53/47 M/F. To be sure, Quantcast is measuring lurkers + members, whereas this poll is measuring members only. But, nevertheless, my gut feel is Quantcast is simply wrong.
