I mean I really enjoyed this piece too, but it's not really news. HN really shouldn't be relied upon as a singular news source. There's plenty of things you should know that aren't the intellect candy that HN promotes
- nelsonic 3y agoTotally Agree that there are plenty of things most people need to know about that do not surface on HN. But being a time poor parent means I personally don't spend much time reading long form articles anymore and visiting "news" sites full of ads & trackers is just lame as the signal to noise ratio is way off. Visit the BBC News https://www.bbc.com/news https://www.bbc.com/news once a day to see what's going on in the world. But beyond that only got time for HN twice a day for 5 mins and Twitter once a week also for 5 mins ... If you know of a similar text-based (or low image count) site like HN that has high quality news and no fluff/click-bait please share. Thanks.
- Tagbert 3y agoYou might try NPR news site https://www.npr.org/sections/news/ https://www.npr.org/sections/news/ They do have some ads but it is mostly just a right rail ad that is pretty easy to ignore and not as infested as most news sites.
