Political articles are kinda about startups, in that America's ridiculous politics makes it a less attractive place to start startups. That said, while I love a political rant, even I steer clear of them here on HNN. Life's too short.
The only politics that interests me in terms of arguable relevance to HNN is anything related to the patent system, or other direct litigation/legislation of technology.
- tptacek 15y agoSee, I think patents are germane but also a great example of a topic we suck at talking about. My guess is that fewer than 20% of the most active commenters on HN know how to interpret a patent, and less than 5% of those commenters have had direct engagement with the patent system (in litigation or in acquisition). So what we're left with is a room full of ignorant† people competing over who can be the angriest about how messed up the patent system is. † I mean this in the most neutral way possible, in the same sense as I am ignorant of linear algebra.
