Listen, I love RLM, but I came here to ask why this is on the front page. It's a strange feeling to see a site I used to associate with tech (and startups), now have so many irrelevant posts. Would categories/subreddits help this site or hurt it more?

HN’s mandate is anything people find intellectually stimulating, not just tech. This is a video that explains a meme, and that kind of stuff shows up on HN every once in a while. IMO Subreddits would hurt it, as there’s really not that many posts on the front page on any given day (60?). Most of these cultural ones degrade faster than the technical ones that garner a lot of discussion.

  Can't be subreddits since this isn't reddit. Subhackers?

dang has, on multiple occasions, commented on why he doesn't want subreddits (or their equivalent) for HN. For material you don't think belongs, there's always the flag option. If you just don't care for it, hide it. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=silo%20by%3Adang&dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?query=silo%20by%3Adang&dateRange=all...

I feel the HN readers could have helped Space Cop: Space Cop: Every day I'm haunted by how I couldn't save her. "But you have a time machine." (Sadly) Nothing I could have done. "Your Space Cop Car has a time machine. You use it all the time." "But here I am, trapped in the past." "It's only seven years from now. And you have a time machine." "Knowing seven years from now she's going to be murdered." "Let's just go to where she is living right now." (Heavy sigh) "It's all so hopeless." mkay, I couldn't find the real quote but that's how I remember it
