Grrr...I hate to be this person, but why, oh why, is this on Hacker News? This isn't a "hack" or anything new...they've been doing this to tourists for as long as there have been tourists.


From the post, I'm assuming one of the victims is limedaring who just a week ago launched her site http://www.weddinginvitelove.com/, which was covered in this item with almost 500 points: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2227770


you're right, that reminds me to sign up for that sex change operation. With the +400 vagina modifier, I should be able to stay at the top of hackernews all day. amirite? This is aimed squarely at the reparation voters btw. Tech is a meritocracy with exception to half the population. And I'm not even sexist, just kinda peeved at the hypocritical double standard. Women have it hard in startups. BULLSHIT. Everyone has it hard in startups. Women get all the attention in an attention economy, which is worth more than money.


>I'm not even sexist

... and yet in reply to a completely neutral comment proposing that the article might be relevant because one of the two people in it was just featured in a very highly rated article last week, you create a one-off account and go on a full paragraph gender rant ...

Edit: I agree with the top poster, I was expecting more in-depth analysis when I hit the link. But voting up a follow-up story to someone who was just highly featured in the community is not exactly an inexplicable response.
