Why though? Can't say for all but a majority of articles on popular media would be mostly right...that's why they are popular. As things go more fringe, there is less verification.
- ekianjo 8y agoIt's not about that. It's called "Hacker News" for a reason. I don't mind having regular stories hitting HN sometimes, but there's nowadays a massive flux of NYT, and also NewYorker, TheAtlantic just to name a few, which were not there a few years back.
- dominotw 8y agoI think software engineering used to be a nerdy hobby now its for 'everyone' ( due to the rise of amazing tooling/languages ect). That 'everyone' attitude is reflected on HN.
