So hacker news is "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." Which can be quite general news.
- rit 16y agoDon't forget that && though. Off-Topic: "Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon." So yes, things that gratify one's intellectual curiosity. But typically if it suggests a new trend. By way of example (of what I think not what the rules are) YOU may find articles on high frequency trading to be intellectually satisfying. The majority of HN may not. A few articles as the trend emerges will be generally interesting to the whole crowd here as an emerging trend. But after that it is probably a very specific area of interest that is much less of what we all want our front page filled with.
