I'm new here, and just read the Guidelines. It says "Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon."
This post doesn't seem particularly technical, and (IMHO) isn't particularly interesting. Should this article actually be here?
- grzm 10y agoHN has a complicated relationship with submissions related to politics. There's been plenty of discussion related to what's appropriate and what's not. Also key to remember is what's on-topic: "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." Please note I'm not here taking a position on this particular submission. Here's a link to some comments by mods on the topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13527940 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13527940 When you've been on HN after a while you'll get a feel for what's appropriate and what's not, and when you've accumulated enough karma, you'll be able to flag submissions you think are inappropriate.
