You clearly failed to understand what 'hacker' means in this site's context, which is here a general term for a tech-savvy, overall outside-of-the-box thinker that desires to read a variety of interesting things (and maybe discuss them).

Sorry to nitpick, but -

Your link shows some early posts on HN about BitCoin

How do you know when his parents got interested in BitCoin?

(Otherwise, how can you demonstrate his statement is incorrect?)


I stopped mentioning my parents the same time I moved out of my childhood room.


I moved out of my childhood's room but still have an active conversation (if by WhatsApp only) with the folks. We have been discussing Israel a lot this week, for example.

You should appreciate your parents while they're there, they are finite beings.


True for everyone whose parents are still alive, and aren't horrible people from whom the child should keep their distance!

But that's all really beside the point. Someone was comparing HN to their parents, to imply that HN is full of old farts, whereas I used the same shitty associative logic to say that anybody who compares things to their parents probably still lives with them. Fun stuff!
