- davidw 15y agoMay I suggest picking up a newspaper from time to time? The Economist (which is actually a magazine that calls itself a newspaper) is pretty good too, although they don't tend to do the human interest type of things as much as real newspapers do. If you haven't noticed foreclosure rates and done some thinking about what that meant in human terms, you were simply not paying attention, to put it very directly. (And maybe you have good reasons; you live in Singapore or something and don't care much about the US housing market)
- MichaelApproved 15y agoI'll pass on reading paper news and wasting time flipping through things that don't interest me just to get a good story every once in a while. Id rather consume news via sites like HN where I get interesting stories all the time and get to chat about it with the community.
- davidw 15y ago> Id rather consume news via sites like HN Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. ... If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
- tptacek 15y agoYou can say that about every Reddit IAmA.
- MichaelApproved 15y agoSo be it then. That's when the upvote system takes over to filter in the good this community sees.
- tptacek 15y agoNo, this is a community that has guidelines in addition to a voting system. It isn't Reddit.
