From http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting ... anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Consider some of the other stuff an opportunity to learn both about stuff outside your current direct interests and experience, and about your fellow readers/contributors at HN. I've encountered stuff I wouldn't normally find, and some of it has been interesting. Take the opportunity.
