Are you aware that hacking is in most parts social engineering? Are you looking for the best hacker or social engineer? Are you aware of the differences between a hacker, a cracker and a script kiddie? What about participants in a hackathon - do you consider them hackers as well? I mean, the event has "hacking" in its name, right?

Very ambiguous question indeed for a community called "Hacker News" that targets a wide range of topics in technology and science, any of which can easily be considered "hacking".
