I'm not trying to discount the article, but why do these things show up on HN? Seems completely unrelated to the primary theme.

  What do you think the primary theme of HN is? Because the stated theme is: > Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: *anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.* (Emphasis mine.)

    Thanks for taking the time to respond (seems I got mostly downvoted). I guess my understanding of hacking meant most technology related.

      Global warming is a direct result of technological change.

      Your understanding of hacking is entirely irrelevant if the official scope of HN is literally “more than hacking” and even includes the word “anything”.
