  why the downvotes? its a link from mainstream news on something unrelated to tech... can someone explain?

    The site guidelines ( http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ) say "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting." Judging by the comments on this thread, such is the case here.

    I submitted the link, so I should probably respond: IMHO this falls well inside the "What to Submit" paremeters specified on http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
