How's this:

    Guy predicts the higgs boson particle.

    World renowned physicist Foo Bar, accurantly models existance of boson particle.

See the difference? The title is BS. I expected a guy from Pakistan or somewhere third world finding the bug.



So "hacker" to you means Middle East or third world? You do realize you're on a site called "Hacker News", right? There are hacker conventions held all around the Western world.

Your mock headline would be more accurate if it said "physicist models higgs boson". Hacker is a perfectly valid job title for a security researcher.


Isn't that rather racist? You assume that if the person isn't being called an "expert" then he's from Pakistan? Are you trying to imply that security researchers in Pakistan are third rate?

PS: A security researcher from Pakistan has been bagging a lot of Bug Bounties recently. Look up news on Rafay Baloch


Well no, it's not racist, being that Pakistan is a country and not a race... it sure does make your comment emotive though.


Unjust Discrimination either way.
