I liked that article a lot but I agree I'd prefer to see it at newmogul or the economics reddit.

Infamous - "Having an exceedingly bad reputation; notorious."

What's so bad about nickb? He seems like a real nice fellow...

I can't figure out where you're coming from here. People I know use "infamous" facetiously all the time, and I almost never hear it used literally.

NickB is great. It was meant to be facetious because of his rank in the leaders list.

how did this get 31 points? is there a group gaming the upvotes now?

I don't think NYTimes would have much to gain from gaming HN.

well we now have proof that at least 31 idiots browse the site. what part of "hacker news" do people not understand? "hacker" presumably.
