PG, how many users are there on hacker news?
There are 234,301 accounts, but the great majority were created by spammers.
2531 accounts have voted in the last 20 minutes.
Do you post a stats page someplace? I would find it really interesting to watch them over time.
I always loved those games where you guess how many M&M's there are in the jar.
I'm going to say 88,000 accounts.
And as I've read here and other places, humans significantly underestimate large quantities of things.
You should've guessed 89,000.
