Wow - apparently asking questions is a bad thing on HN?
The fact that a "slave's" room from 1,942 years ag, resembles the room of a presumably well-educated, skilled and/or technically-focused contributor (as I perceive nearly all contributors to HN), seems rather odd.
So, my question still stands... Is the comment meant to be sarcastic?
Can the the comment be interpreted as:
1. "They didn't have it as bad as we might think"?
2. "My life is little different from a slave of ~2000 years ago"?
3. "I feel a connection with the people/person who lived in that room"?
4. Something else?
