With all due respect; from HN's posting guidelines..
>Stories on HN don't have to be about hacking, because good hackers aren't only interested in hacking, but they do have to be deeply interesting.
Which is fair enough. Also;
> What does "deeply interesting" mean? It means stuff that teaches you about the world. A story about a robbery, for example, would probably not be deeply interesting. But if this robbery was a sign of some bigger, underlying trend, perhaps it could be.
>The worst thing to post or upvote is something that's intensely but shallowly interesting: gossip about famous people, funny or cute pictures or videos, partisan political articles, etc.
IMO this posted 'article' goes against the guidelines. It is not 'deeply interesting', teaches us nothing about the world, and is verging on politically partisan (yes let's have a chuckle at the brexit party because someone bought a domain name - teehee!)
I mean, what's the news here? Someone bought a domain name. Which just happens to be a domain name the brexit party /might/ have been interested in but probably not because it's a .com
Yet here we are, with it being upvoted. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
