This only has to do with mismatch of the scope of HN and the scope that you are interested in.
Hacker News seems to me a news aggregator, just with a certain limited scope.
- wolverine876 3y ago> This only has to do with mismatch of the scope of HN and the scope that you are interested in. It's not scope mismatch, it's that HN doesn't present a (nearly, roughly) complete picture of current events in any scope (other than the scope of itself, of course).

- chromoblob 3y agoThis is what happens when people have too much time for HN. It is a stretch to interpret my reply like that.
- wolverine876 3y agoWittgenstein was/is highly influential on set theory incuding, if I recall, something something a thing being a set of itself.

- wolverine876 3y agoThe last part was a joke; you got it, but you didn't get it. :)
