Are you saying all hackers are liberals?
- NathanKP 17y agoAre you saying all hackers are liberals? Obviously not. My point is that I as a hacker am a person interested in people who do things in a nonstandard way. Giving a kid pot to treat autism is nonstandard, therefore I am interested in it and in other people's responses to it whether they be liberal or conservative.
- axod 17y agoThanks, I was confusing liberal with Liberal. :/ Having said that I'd still prefer hacker news had a sort of programming/startup/tech focus. Articles like this are always on Reddit for those who want to see them.
- Confusion 17y agoNo, because he is not using the word 'liberal' to denote a Liberal, but rather to denote someone that doesn't let (social) conventions get in the way of what he deems possible and worthy of following through. That sounds like the hacker spirit to me.
