Per the HN rules:
>On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
- jimbob45 6y agoI really don’t like to waste time talking about whether a post is or is not off-topic but...this one’s a stretch for me. I’m glad others in this thread seem to be finding enjoyment though.
- blowski 6y agoThe post itself isn't very interesting, but the conversation is insightful.
- Leparamour 6y ago> If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. There must be an intention behind that rule. If not, what differentiates HN from Reddit? Pretty much anything gratifies at least someone's "intellectual curiosity".
- xenophonf 6y ago> Pretty much anything gratifies at least someone's "intellectual curiosity". Hence why this is on topic.
- Leparamour 6y agoThat sounds like circular logic.
- sombremesa 6y ago> what differentiates HN from Reddit? The fact that people here entertain the delusion that HN is different from Reddit.
- Leparamour 6y agoGood one.
- marcinzm 6y ago>If not, what differentiates HN from Reddit? You mean other than the lack of cat pictures, TV news stories, memes, non-intellectual click bait, etc, etc. I mean, have ever looked at /r/all/?
