Let's bring the fun factor back!
Let's not think of tanks and wars!
Let's just not overthink!
Let's cheer it again for SN!
Let's choose who the smartest stacker is!
Show your true self and just remember not to chose yourself! 😜
@south_korea_ln is definitely the smartest in math, science, tech, computers, AI, physics, etc
@oliverweiss is strong in math and statistics
@Undisciplined is a wonky libertarian economist, loses points for not reading Hayek
@siggy47 is our resident lawyer, very well read, liberal arts and humanities guy, life experience, lots of wisdom, a sage, great person to get advice from because he is old which is my nice way of seeing he has seen a lot everywhere
@grayruby is our resident sports fanatic and pundit; my go to person for questions about Canada; great parental resource, did you see that list???; seek him for advice on how to start and run a business
@didiplaywell is our expert in Argentina and how to endure hyperinflation without killing yourself or losing your sanity; I assume he will be our travel guide for Buenos Aires and Argentine women
@Coinsreporter and @BitcoinAbhi are the experts on India
@petertodd and @kristapsk are very smart and knowledgable about bitcoin, coin join, privacy, etc... also very knowledgable about Ukraine and Russia and NATO
@freetx is a fellow Gen X who embodies the ethos of Texas, bitcoin, the Federalist papers and covid dissidents plus very knowledgable about Linux and Liquid/Aqua
Let me know if I missed anyone, apologies in advance for glaring omissions
reply
Very comprehensive list.
reply
I'm also expert on other countries and many sports.
reply
my man 🀜 πŸ€› honoured for the mention, my pleasure to introduce you to Argentina and our gorgeous women
reply
Argentina is on my bucket list for travel
reply
You are absolutely welcome πŸ«‚
reply
Gorgeous women are more important than intelligence.
I will trade 20 IQ points to enhance my appearance by 20%.
reply
"the client is always right in matters of taste" My only observation is that unless you're deformed (god forbid) you don't need to make that trade to get the 20% enhancement. You do need to make other trades
reply
make other trades for sure lol
reply
Solid list!
reply
We got lots of highly motivated and intelligent people, its seriously hard to vote!!
reply
I forgot to include @cryotosensei and his wonderful stories about teaching, parenting, job interviews, travel and the nuances of English prose.
I especially enjoyed his food vocabulary lesson.
reply
I like the cowboy hat with S ⚑ N. It beautifully done. I think it should be there on the SN cowboy hat as a hologram.
Now back to your question- you're creating a war among Stackers this way! If I say @k00b is the smartest, may be @Car wouldn't agree! Lol! If I say @grayruby, may be @Undisciplined would mind it! So, I'm taking @siggy47 is the smartest here and the second one is none other than @ek.
I don't want to say @k00b to be at the third but he is, may be, I'm not sure!

Definitely not me, lets not forget we have some stackers with 140 IQs on here.
We also have a lot of T-shaped domain expertise on stacker news which I think makes this place an online Hivemind of a sort.
I would describe @k00b as wise. That's probably better than being smart.
reply
Don't take it seriously l, I think it's just for fun! Everyone who is here has great knowledge and ability. Undoubtedly, @k00b is very wise. If I had written @k00b as the smartest stacker here, evryone would have agreed! But, for trolling, I took a little chance on everyone. You all are so wise, so smart and so intelligent. I'm not even at the last place here.
reply
Hivemind is bad unless we are bees 🐝
reply
Interesting! So you don't wanna be partial with anyone! 😜 Very diplomatic and naughty to mention @k00b at the third!
reply
I know it's for fun, so I'm just enjoying it.
reply
game theory, prisoner's dilemma variation
@k00b does not care because he has a wife and a business to run and improve
reply
Whoever has me muted is the smartest stacker. Haha
Addition to intellect by subtraction.
reply
Haha! Is that an original idiom?
I haven't muted you, won't definitely not do it! I don't believe in subtraction!
reply
Well, I was able to read this so, there it goes my hope to win DX
reply
points for wit and humility
reply
Darth has muted me lol
reply
I muted you for a while, too. 🀣
reply
Darth hates when I recommend Liquid and Aqua wallet
reply
Butting heads with Darth is an SN right of passage all good stackers do it.
I think I called him an asshole my first week on SN.
I like Darth. I just don’t tolerate him telling me what I should think and do.
reply
I don't like Darth and he already has enough fans and hand job specialists to jerk him off
I like his substack but I don't like him
He has a lot to offer but he chooses to be arrogant and obnoxious troll
And he is so fucking repetitive! Hey Darth have you heard of original content or is that above your boomer pay grade?
best response to Darth is Go Fellate yourself
reply
u know he's gonna be correct about most things over a long enough time frame. the repetition is in order to keep the receipts in plain view. i don't idolize the guy, but the has had a lot of time to research and actively live thru the stuff that made him the way he is, so his advice is valuable. i frequently tell people now: "i derive no pleasure from saying 'i told u so'"
reply
I read his substack, he has great advice about wallets and lightning etc
He is totally wrong about Liquid and Blockstream
When I say repetitive, I mean his insults are scripted and recycled
reply
has to be me, right? guys?
reply
Yes, you're! My vote doesn't count. If everyone says, you'll be bedecked with an SN Medal and a Hat that is on the cowboy cat!! πŸ˜€
reply
LOL it would be an honour XD
reply
I vote for @didiplaywell
reply
Thank you Sr! I appreciate that :D
reply
Maybe because you have figured out away to survive hyperinflation in Argentina
Those are real life skills, survival skills are more important than say linear algebra or calculus
reply
I appreciate that Sr :) Funny thing is that I'm able to make it through decently thanks to my skill with algebra AND calculus. I'm an engineer, and I make a living working for companies outside of Argentina. My current work implied solving poiseuille flows for rectangular sections, through calculus, for a very special type of flowmeter, to then proceed to program the sensors processor solely thanks to my algebra skills.
reply
So: pay attention in class damn it!! DX
reply
Very impressive!
You have survival skills and mathematical aptitude, the best of both worlds!
I think you are the winner, first place lol
reply
Thank you buddy, I appreciate that :) Now, help me to... "dissuade"... the competence... if you know what I mean...
reply
For sure I will help you to "dissuade"
reply
Great 😈 Now, if the police asks questions, you where on the cinema at 11:37 on thursday
Poiseuille's law, also known as the Hagen-Poiseuille equation?
You are building a fluid transport system?
reply
Sorry I missed your second question. I'm building what's called a "flowmeter", a device that measures flow speed. Depending on the application you need to do that in a specific manner. For instance this application requires high precision for very low flows, for which standard venturis are unfit, so a special method that relies con capillaries is used to get the poiseuille flow, which allows to get more precise and stable measurements for low flow ranges (below the speed at which we breathe).
reply
That same one Sr. The pre-analysis for rectangular sections exists of course, but I had to finish it for my specific case (constant pressure variation). It's simple, but you have to know what you are doing.

@DarthCoin Is the smartest, he sets things straight even if cut and dry!
reply
Do we really need another circle jerker for Darth?
And he is repetitive. Same jokes, same insults, same memes, same content
big deductions for recycling content
big deductions for hating Liquid because the Valet guys found him insufferable
Darth is a rich privileged boomer who pretends to be a revolutionary. Tom Wolfe called this behavior Radical Chic.
Look up Radical Chic or ask @siggy47
reply
please no
reply
Lol! He's enough intelligent to teach us all, no doubt. But he is a very tough teacher to deal with.
When he sees this post, I'm afraid he'll rebuke us and shout shout to cut this fun!
reply
I don't understand the meaning of this post, but being in the lol territory... I just skip it.
reply
He has muted me so he won't see my assessment of his personality
reply
No I am not the smartest. There are many others here smarter than me. Yes I have more knowledge about bitcoin because I'm in bitcoinlandia from long time ago, back to 2012 and I am passionate to learn as much as I could about bitcoin.
But my skills are limited, for example I do not write code. Maybe I understand the logic of the code but that's all. I have IT background yes, but not code.
Yes, I like to make memes, without smiling every day life is really boring.
reply
Crazy! Do you also smile seriously?
You OK, man
reply
What's wrong with Darth?
No snark, no insults, no self-aggrandizing
He sounds like a normal person almost human
Are you sick? cancer? lupus? covid?
reply
Darth is uncompromising! It is fucking awesome.
reply
Darth has definitely muted me!
YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED LOL
Darth has a glass jaw
reply
Focus on the group and not the individual. πŸ€™πŸ½
reply
I'm focused on the group. I've taken it as my responsibility to entertain all Stackers by binding them all with such intriguing questions.
reply
I want that hat! That cat too! That Bitcoin necklace as well!
Please! Please! Please!
reply
Get out the way I saw it first DX *violently hits him in the mouth with the shoulder while making it through
reply
Haha! Be ready to what you ask for. A punch for punch would prevail P2P.

All of you are smarter than me so I’m confused which one to pick.
reply
You can pick anyone but can't pick yourself! You're also so smart. I saw you making great choices while into the Cricket pool!

Thank you for the compliment but I have had a lot of help from you and the over-all setup. Anyways, I would have to look into all of them before picking one so stay tuned…

I dunno but there are many smart cookies on this platform for sure. That’s why I like to hang out here… basically I’m sick of the normies on Facebook. πŸ˜„
