Articles like this might be better suited for newmogul.com run by the infamous nickb.

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.

I'm coming from the dictionary, which I cited.

Agreed, and "notorious" has also lost its perjorative skew.

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

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

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.
