Why do you? I've noticed several times when a journalistic article was discussing a scientific paper, the preference from some community members was to link to the paper itself.
Shouldn't there be a similar preference for a first-party source such as this? I found both links on an HN reddit bot, and read the press release first - to learn what the Stadia team had to say - before coming to HN to see what the community had to say about what the folks at Stadia announced.
Why are you giving preference to a 3rd party article in this case?
- dang 4y agoBy "the latter" I meant corporate press releases. The link explains why (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=corporate%20press%20release%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). The best third party articles tend to quote the salient bits from the press release as well as adding additional background and dropping the most embarrassing spin.
- paledot 4y agoI appreciate this very much. When a press release does make it to the front page (often from the SEC or another US government agency), I click straight through to the HN comments to get some context and perspective.
