Hacker News is open source, it's likely running the same code.
Have a link to source code?

inbound.org seems to be doing well. I've found interesting views on marketing there, also not quite HN, some of the articles are just crap, but there are some quality posts that make it to the top of inbound fairly regularly. Great for a hacker who needs some inside scoop on marketing.

well, i tend to view reddit as the 'hacker news for everything' if that counts.. otherwise, i don't really think so. but i'd argue its related in that reddit has made such sites largely unnecessary. subreddits can be as narrow or broad in topic, and as open or regulated in curation as one wants. i see little value in a 'finance news' (for example) when there's /r/finance and probably around 100 other finance-related…
There exists /r/programming and /r/coding and HN is still here. In my opinion the success or failure of a site like this depends whether or not it has enough traction to start a good community, which at the end is what makes the difference.
hn is interesting because its the intersection of technology/startup life/entrepreneurship and all the sub genres within those.
Intersections don't translate as well to subreddits.

Something that differentiates reddit with the set of HN clones is the discovery: on any subreddit you have a list of other subreddits and you can search for them if you want to explore about a new thing.
Every HN clone is its own little island and can only count traffic from Google to build a community after the initial HN announcement. They should try to link to each other, or at least there should be a wiki page somewhere that lists all HN for X.

#26Excellent and what a timing. We have built something more like reddit for data science / analytics. It's a closed beta (we're paranoid not to embarrass ourselves yet). If you guys are interested, please shoot me an email to include you in our, still private, system. No strings attached. We need more testers :)

#27Remember when you had to do science to be called a scientist?

Designer News (http://news.layervault.com/) is pretty good and well frequented.
