The guidelines say: "What to Submit: [...] "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."
If you wanted to stretch the article to hacker/startup-related topics:
- The eroding economy means that more people are spending time at home, to the extent that communal watering holes are closing. Hence, there is a need for newer, cheaper ways for communities to interact.
- If the trend crosses the ocean, we may see closing coffeeshops, which serve as a gathering place for many hackers and entrepreneurial types.
(And it would seem PG is uniquely situated to define what does and doesn't relate to Hacker News... :) )
- brk 18y agoOK, so then you've pretty much satisfied my worry that there was some insanely obvious hackerish news in this post and verified that it is merely interesting on some obscure level. Thanks.
- bprater 18y agoI spend nearly everyday in a cafe doing part of my work. I really enjoy the time sucking down a coffee and people watching when I'm not hacking. It has stayed busy here, I couldn't even find a table when I came in for lunch the other day. I don't know what this means about the local economy, but I would be sad if this place disappeared.
