Interesting. What was your motivation?
I'm big on systems and testing and generally more interested in people than the technical nature of technology. I just wanted to see if it would work. I did this off and on from the time I was 14 to 17 or so. I lived literally in the middle of nowhere, where the nearest town had about 27 people. It was an interesting way to spend time in high school. To me it was a big experiment to maximize conversion and minimize d…
Thanks for the explanation. I suspect most people downvoted you because they didn't understand your motivation.
I particularly liked your comment about finding formulas for social interactions. Have you tried looking for work at a social startup? From what I have heard of Facebook's culture, you would fit right in.

When I had a lot more time, I would go into Yahoo chat and basically phish for pedophiles usernames/passwords. I can tell you that a "hehe" after anything will set the hook. I could on average phish about an account a minute and I was never figured out. I only fell out of character once to warn an 18 year old kid, that talking to 14 year old girls sexually online wasn't the best use of his time. He freaked out and th…
Previous comment here related to multiple down votes I received. I jumped the gun and lesson learned.
You're at +6 right now, so the number of people (including me) who think that your comment was interesting and useful to the conversation outweigh the number of people who objected to it. HN is generally self-correcting; I would say that not asking about downvotes for at least two hours or until you get down to -4 or below is probably a good rule of thumb, as I expect that HN's tendency to self-correct is lessened past either of those points (because of fewer people reading the thread or because people won't bother reading the comment), assuming that you can't see why it's been downvoted. That's just my advice, though, as I most often see comments asking about downvotes following comments which have a positive votecount.

#68Using the quotes from the article, however too few words to analyze properly, so inconclusive, but still... From http://www.hackerfactor.com/GenderGuesser.php Genre: Informal Female = 171 Male = 182 Difference = 11; 51.55% Verdict: Weak MALE Weak emphasis could indicate European. From http://bookblog.net/gender/analysis.php Female Score: 94 Male Score: 133 The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!
S/He's been hanging out with mostly male geeks, and would probably pick up their "accent". Also, raised by a single dad who's a programmer.
(Using a gender guesser is genius though)
Re: Is This The Girl That Hacked HBGary?
#69This could very likely be a carefully (and cleverly constructed) identity. This girl might not exist; but because we all really really want a 16 year old girl to be the hacker the discrepancies are glossed over (the art of a good lie is not giving too much detail and letting other people's imagination fill the gaps). On the other hand the personality strikes me strongly as female, so if it is an facade it is a very w…

Welcome to the internet, where the men are men, the women are men, and the kids are cops.

Everything I write comes out as female and I'm... not. I wouldn't trust that (or maybe I should question my gender...)
Perhaps you should use... fewer ellipses? There are several grammatical patterns females use more than males (and vice versa). I assume that's how the test works, anyway.
