Hacker news is a social news website focusing on computer science and entrepreneurship. It was started by the startup incubator Y Combinator, where posts are voted and commented on similar to reddit. Posts that make it to the top of the Hacker News’ listings have more frequent visitors as a result.
In this project we are interested in the posts that begin with either Ask HN or Show HN. The posts submitted by users which ask the Hacker News community specific questions start with “Ask HN” prefix.
