Off topic : Twitter submissions tend to really struggle to make the HN front page despite many upvotes. I assume the HN algorithm is heavily biased against the bird site ; I'm not too sure it's such a great thing.
- nrb 4y agoHow many of them satisfy the on-topic criteria for HN: “anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity”? The OP contains nothing more than a dubious claim with no supporting evidence or insight, is not itself intellectually curious, and does little to spur interesting discussion. If the post was made by a less prominent person it wouldn’t even be on anyone’s radar to begin with. Im not so sure I agree HN would be a better place if the front page was loaded with topics that were merely further amplifying the Twitter posts of famous people.
- pyb 4y agoActually, in this instance, there a discussion to be had about the (lack of) management skills among CEOs who've never had a job. There is another possible discussion about CEOs saying what they really think, which is always rare. BTW, an underrated advantage of discussing tweets on HN is that the commenters will have read what they're commenting on.
