This is nice and all but why on HN?
- koenigdavidmj 11y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think a story is spam or off-topic, flag it by clicking on its "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you think a comment is egregious, click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click "flag" at the top.
- davidw 11y agoI'll add - this is something that's interesting - it's new knowledge for many people. It's not political or an 'outrage article' about some injustice.
- dang 11y agoIn addition to koenigdavidmj's correct answer, maybe I'll repeat something I posted yesterday: If there's something we could do to get more high-quality links posted about history, arts and letters, geography, anthropology, etc.—the myriads of interesting stories outside HN's couple of core grooves—I would love to hear about it. We rarely have enough of those. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10127481 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10127481
