Why HN links it
HN readers link Slackpropagation's 2013 post on geek versus nerd, which one commenter describes as an attempt to settle the debate with science, and which comments cite as the original source of a geek/nerd infographic.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionYou seem to be mixing up [1] geeks and nerds . What you describe is geeky rather than nerdy. What would be a nerdy approach to gym/fitness? Perhaps doing 10 years of research into what's the most efficient way of maintaining fitness and publishing a paper. Or perhaps building your own gym -- on the orbit, and commuting by a rocket of your own design. [1] http://slackprop.wordpress.com/2013/06/03/on-geek-versus-ner...
