Very odd, indeed. If you're going to engage in shameless wholesale scraping as appears to have occurred here (and the site does appear to be a scraper site), why not pick content on a topic that you can monetize (porn/gambling/pharmaceuticals/mortgages/etc) easily?

This might get a rise out of some people, but I believe that DHH is completely out of place in that list of hackers, and his response to the question about mathematics makes it painfully obvious.
So many things he says make me ashamed to admit I use Rails for most of my coding these days.

Simple. I didn't know it had been submitted. I did a search before I submitted, but the article didn't come up in the first page or two.
One solution would be for news.yc to improve its matching algorithm (perhaps looking at the body of html text, not just the title/url) - most people won't even search for previous articles before submitting.

They actually have search? I was trying to find an article the other day and looked all over for a search box. I finally had to resort to a Google site search.
I think this is the original article, no broken text and Bjarne Stroustrup's answers as a bonus.
news.YC has editors, right?
