Do general current events belong on HN?
- Swizec 5y agoSuperpowers getting into wars seems like it would be "interesting to hackers". We were very interested a while back when Wuhan was reporting a weird disease outbreak. That said, there isn't much heft behind this reporting yet because the events are so new. A future deeper article will likely be a better fit.
- kwertyoowiyop 5y agoIsn’t any major crisis “interesting to hackers” too? HN seems more appropriate for coverage of related cyber warfare. HN posters would probably find better articles on this than what you’d see on general-interest sites. Hmmm…as I re-read this comment, I feel a bad sense of detachment from the world. My response to this crisis should be something different and more meaningful than this. :-(
