The jokes are so accurate I'd conjecture there's a huge intersection between the two communities. Huumm... Except the fact that, arguably, I don't normally conjecture outside HN [1]. [1] I actually want to see what pg has got to essay about this. Just wait until the Arcstar is ready... Please hold your downvotes I kid, I kid. Most of this (rather funny) criticism is geared towards SV culture in general, I guess, as HN is just a reflection of that plus common nerd/hacker/engineer/smart-kid-outcast behavior. Apart from the idiosyncrasies of large communities that HN is not invulnerable to, I actually have found great content here. And yes, I'm a white college kid in his early twenties with big ambitions, pg is my hero and I don't feel like getting a job at IBM -- that doesn't mean I'm going to chase a $1B exit with Instagram for Squirrels+social+toilets alongside my other rich friends, replacing cancer research with tweets and fucking up the economy while at it. I'm broke and from another country like many people here, and despite the stupid media frenzy, snarky HN comments, bubble or not and so on, I still want to be part of all this. Why? Because I'm young, stupid and want to see what it's like. I guess this is what the world's greatest engine of innovation looks like: a bunch of young and stupid nerds from another country.
