In this project, we will examine the two different types of posts from Hacker News to uncover the posts that received the most votes. Hacker News is a site started by the startup incubator Y Combinatior where user-submitted stories (known as "posts") are voted and commented upon, similar to reddit. Hacket News is extremely popular in technology and startup circles, and posts that make it to the top of Hacker News' listing can get hundreds of thousands of visitors as a result. The two types of posts we'll explore begin with either Ask HN or Show HN.

Users submit Ask HN posts to ask the Hacker News community a specific question, such as "What is the best online course you've ever taken?" Likewise, users submit Show HN posts to show the Hacker News community a project, product, or just generally something interesting.

We'll specifically compare these two types of posts to determine the following:

Do Ask HN or Show HN receive more comments on average? Do posts created at a certain time receive more comments on average? It should be noted that the data set we're working with was reduced from almost 300,000 rows to approximately 20,000 rows by removing all submissions that did not receive any comments, and then randomly sampling from the remaining submissions.
