Isn’t this article months old? Why is it relevant today?
- Jaruzel 9y agoIt's only been posted twice to HN, today and 15 days ago. Both times by the same person. They obviously thought it was interesting, and by the fact it's now on the HN front page, [probably] means that the HN community found it interesting also. HN is not a current-news site; posts should be [from the FAQ]: 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.
- tbtowzhtow 9y agoFirst time, no comments. Just an observation.
- icebraining 9y agoHN has plenty of randomness that may float or sink a submission. That's why the mods themselves have been experimenting with resubmission of potentially interesting links that didn't get any traction.
- Jaruzel 9y agoMonitor the New page, you'll see MOST submissions don't get any engagement, that doesn't mean they are not interesting to someone.
- tw1010 9y agoWhy would it be any less relevant today than it was when it was first posted? I doubt things have changed for him much in the last month...
