But at least I get how that's tech related, as it gets into the ethics of the role of technology in society.
But this? This article has exactly zero to do with tech. It appears relevant because it just so happens that there's a visible libertarian faction amongst developers. But if that's the definition of relevancy, you've lowered the bar so far that almost any topic could be considered "hacker news".

I don't find this particular article interesting, but if you read the site guidelines they suggest "anything good hackers would find interesting," which means almost any topic could be considered "hacker news," if the quality were high enough.
