  Aha! Here I thought this was an anomaly - normally stuff from BoingBoing is stuff I read on HN the day before. I thought maybe this time it was the other way around - we're discussing a BB article. But no, just a more extended circle.

    Kind of a double loop because we switched the BoingBoing URL to the source it pointed to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10263971 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10263971.

    On an unrelated note (perhaps mere cathartic complaining): i have the really strong impression that "these days" BB is really just another Buzzfeed-like blog-spam platform. I find that a pity, because about 3 years ago i still considered it one of my favourite places to go for a slightly less technical but nevertheless savvy place, that had political leanings i could get behind. I have the impression that there's really a dearth of solid commentary these days, and that it's mostly videos of cats. Videos of cats without further comment at that, which is worse, if possible. I am particularly disappointed because in my perception the decline has been relatively steep and abrupt (whereas i would never mourn Buzzfeed or others in the same way, simply because i never had the impression they had quality ‘content’ in the first place). Anyway, time to move on i guess. Where else do you HN people get news that isn't necessarily focused on startups or programming? I quite like the New Statesman, personally, but i follow it less closely than i used to because of time pressure.
