> 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. Call me absurd, but I'm a hacker. I found this interesting, in the sense that a bunch of other hackers took to planning something amazingly absurd, and that their employer decided to let them do it. > 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. I've never seen this covered on TV news, so, guess it's more to the "On Topic" section.
