A friendly reminder:
"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."
- kloncks 16y agoI honestly don't mean to attack but I think I'd read this simply on the basis of good photography. This is our generation's Fall of the Berlin Wall; I'd say that's an interesting new phenomenon. Nothing too political about this, either. Libya's also connected to us on a closer level with the .ly TLD. The keyword in the second sentence is probably, but I think that enough people (55 now) found this interesting and made it acceptable here.
- artmageddon 16y agoI put in another vote for it. Considering the relatively close timing to the Egyptian protests and how the Egyptian government temporarily shut down the internet, I would say this is worth a look especially with the .ly TLD as you mentioned, too.
- tomh- 16y agoThis post has nothing to do with .ly domains. Even the fact that Libya is connected to 'us' doesn't make this relevant, we don't submit nice pictures of the US either right?
- mahmud 16y agoWhat's this? If you wanna play HN-cop go and flag the countless simple-minded articles that grace the front page, rise up against the mundane minutia and mediocrity that pass for tech reporting or "hacker culture". Seriously.
