Re:Poll: Do you use your real identity on Hacker News? on Thursday October 14, 2010 @01:39PM (#1791781)
In recent times, I have noticed that a comment that tends to diverge from the major trend of comments on a submitted even though article tends to get down voted to oblivion h that diverging opinion makes sense. A community is made up of different people with different mindsets and points of view, not everyone see's things the way others do, so I do not see the reason why HN cant just accept that other people can be different.

Yes, how sure are you? I read somewhere that Viaweb was rested by yahoo and the yahoo webstore as we know it is code written in C++ and not lisp.

Re:Ask YC:What kind of music do you listen to? on Monday June 09, 2008 @11:21AM (#212826)
I dont know if the thought ever entered your block head that the writer of this post wanted to know the type of music other hackers listen to and not to declare a particular type of music as being "hacker music". Although you stated that the question has been posted before, you also made a presumption that everybody joined hacker news at the same time and every body keeps tabs on what is being posted and makes sure that he doesnt do a repeat of a post. that isnt so, new people join hacker news everyday and ask questions, so it is inevitable that the same questions may be repeated, giving the fact that YC news doesnt have search natively. downmod me for all i care but i have stated my points clearly. thanks.
