The only thing that stands as a non-contribution is your need to publicly proclaim a lack of a sense of humor.

I think HN still tends to reward quick posts over more thoughtful ones. As humor is quicker to post, it will come to dominate (i.e. HN will become Reddit) without this important check/balance in the culture.

According to Facebook, I might be soon an employee. {"is_fb_employee":"maybe soon? https://www.facebook.com/careers/department.php?dept=engineering"}

They changed it since this hit the top of Hacker News, I'm REALLY impressed with the speed of rolling something like that out on the fly.

As far as value added to the conversation, the joke added more value than the sarcastic passive agressive response did. HN should be more concerned with monday morning quarterbacks than people who add a new facet to the discussion.

I'm 601804, also from Penn. Does 6xxxxx denote school?

Some prefixes from my friends lists: 100k = Columbia 200k = Stanford 300k = Yale 500k = Dartmouth 600k = Penn 1000k = Brown
