- adventured 10y ago> It seems to be abjectly off topic for HN. So long as enough people here are interested in the topic, there's almost no such thing as off topic. In my opinion, HN is the better for that. Even if it doesn't lead to a discussion central to HN, the diversity of discussion is critical. There are also very frequent cross-over impacts in the world of politics, that involve technology, security, encryption, tech companies, et al.
