- jessriedel 10y agoI don't think it fits the guidelines. > 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. > Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic. In particular, it ought to be intellectually interesting, not just emotionally compelling. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- aws_ls 10y ago>gratifies one's intellectual curiosity Some stories are so bizarre, by virtue of that itself they fulfill that criteria. I was genuinely surprised by it, as perhaps many other readers. Don't think its flag worthy, IMHO.
