Very Simple Stacker News Personality Profile

2481 sats \ 50 comments \ @Undisciplined 12 Sep meta

This is a follow up on yesterday's silly What kind of Stacker are you? post.

I realized I could simplify it to two very simple metrics based on zaps and items, which led to me creating a graphical way to display how we behave on Stacker News.

How to place yourself on the graph?

Left/Right: divide the larger of your spending/stacking rank by the smaller, then move that many spaces left or right.
Up/Down: divide the larger of your posts/comments rand by the smaller, then move that many spaces up or down.

Example:

19/3 (my spending rank/my stacking rank) = 6 1/3 right.
10/5 (my posts rank/my comments rank) = 2 down.

From what I saw in yesterday's comments, most of us are miserly trolls (which doesn't actually make numerical sense). I suspect that's mostly selection bias.

Nice graphical addition.

127 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined OP 12 Sep

Yes!

I looked into where some stackers would land and I noticed that you're one of the few on the reckless side.

Yeah I started off on SN by doing giveaways after learning about lightning. It was easy to see what kind of developer @k00b was based on his interactions and that made me want to continue supporting and using the site. Fast forward, now I own territory in these here parts.

SN or bust.

There should also be an arrow indicating where Darth is.

This is exactly what I was hoping to see at some point.

156 sats \ 3 replies \ @Coinsreporter 12 Sep

I didn't understand it but I tried. Can you please check if it's correct?

My stacking rank is 29 and spending is 104 My postrank is 55 and comment rank is 9

40 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 12 Sep

You nailed it! I think that's sort of where @grayruby is.

65 sats \ 1 reply \ @Coinsreporter 12 Sep

He can't be there his spending and stacking is quite equal.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 12 Sep

I think he's slightly southwest of you.

40 sats \ 2 replies \ @Satosora 12 Sep

I think I also belong in the yellow quadrant.

20 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined OP 12 Sep

I think you might be off the chart, like Darth. #682455

Hey, I am not that much of a troll.

36 sats \ 2 replies \ @Carresan 12 Sep

if stacking / spending (45/45) = 1 and comments /post (37/33) = 1.12

How would this result represent in the table?

30 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined OP 12 Sep

I may not have thought this through.

My formula should be shifted one unit towards the axis. You should be dead center (slightly below actually, I guess).

31 sats \ 0 replies \ @Carresan 12 Sep

Haha it’s ok . I was just trying to figure out. I am happy to be right in the middle.

I think you moved yourself slightly closer to the median line between spammer and troll. I demand a recount.

And I just proved why I am by my lonesome way down in the southeastern hemisphere as a miserly troll.

You should see how far down in that corner Darth is.

This would probably match Michael Malice's chart if he was on SN.

20 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 12 Sep

Michael might be less miserly.

48 sats \ 4 replies \ @grayruby 12 Sep

Haha. Factually correct.

I had a couple mins to spare haha

LOL you really spend time to calculate my score, wow thanks man. I always like to be "off all charts"...

I knew it'd make a funny picture 😂

that picture could be good for the meme contest and the fun fact contest in the same time LOL

28 sats \ 3 replies \ @south_korea_ln 12 Sep

which doesn't actually make numerical sense

How do you mean?

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 12 Sep

These are rankings, so there must be people who rank higher in spending than stacking to offset all of us who are the opposite. Same for commenting vs posting.

34 sats \ 1 reply \ @south_korea_ln 12 Sep

Ok. Just checked, my two ratios are 27/60 and 63/40.

How does the first ratio translate into the graph, to go left, I have to use 60/27 instead?

EDIT: Ok, missed this part in the explanation:

divide the larger [...] by the smaller,

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 12 Sep

I slightly messed up the instruction. You have to also slide one space towards the axes, because if you have the same rank in both things that should be a 0 rather than a 1.

20 sats \ 2 replies \ @Catcher 13 Sep

Can you tell me where can I find these ranks?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined OP 13 Sep

On the front page, choose "top". Then, use the drop down menus to sort by "Stackers" "forever".

Oh, got it, thanks, seems I need to do it from the laptop

This is the kind of honest analysis/audit of self that you never get to see done in the fiat world. Honest analysis of our actions helps us to do better in the future.
