Isn't this article/this thread explicitly what we have been told not to discuss this week? I am really confused as to what is considered political or not. I suppose it actually means "politics we disagree with"?

  Personally, I'm thankful for that. This is exactly the sort of article I like to see on HN amongst the general tech stories, especially for the comments and insight shared by peers. I consider HN readers on the whole to be intelligent and, for the most part, to have insightful things to contribute.

    Likewise. I'm now just very confused. What is going to be the next censored topic of the week?

      'dang has made clear that changing community rules is not going to be a common thing. There's a lot of insightful discussion from him and other members that will probably answer a lot of questions you may have in the same thread I posted above, and the link provided there: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13131251 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13131251

        Can you please post this on the front page - it's in the collective interest that that gets broad readership, otherwise confusion will reign, particularly if you're pruning threads which ask about it! For instance, could have saved me several posts.

        Good idea. I can't post it or pin it to the front page, but I created a submission with a link to the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13137864 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13137864 I can't comment on the submission to give it any context, so if you want to add some, please do. 'dang: if this was inappropriate, please let me know and take it down.

        It was marked as [dead] but I've vouched for it. @dang, hope that's OK.
