Ask HN: Which bubble? (Or how and why is HN news?)
I became interested in HN's reaction to the stock markets' adjustments of the past week. I ran a site search for Hacker News on Google [1] and found absolutely no mention of the terms "Dow Jones" or "stock market". Results were solely in the "what will I get for my startup's huge success" category.
I don't believe the larger markets are irrelevant to start ups. What do ya'll think?

- greenyoda 11y agoThe fluctuations of the stock markets are extensively covered in the mainstream media. According to HN guidelines (see link at the bottom of the page): "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic." So a post on HN such as "Dow down 530 points" (or even "Apple down 3%") would probably get flagged by a lot of people.
- techbio 11y agoThank you for the reply on guidelines. If I were to submit an article outlining the mismatch between startup employee interests in their equity vs. equity markets in general it could fly. Got it.
