Not criticising but what is behind the (feels like extreme) over-representation of aeroplane, aeronautic, airline industry in the HN topic rotation?

- xor42 5y agoMy guess is that airplanes are cool/fascinating for a lot of people. Aerospace is a field where a lot of things are unknown to most of the population, which triggers curiosity even for the smallest details. I have done IT consulting in the field, and have been genuinely happy to get a tour of some facilities and debugging software while sitting in a life-size simulator. It really tickles your engineering senses.

- genewitch 5y agoI haven't noticed it personally. Are you getting aeronautic stuff elsewhere too?
