I'm not usually the one to complain, but really? Not just front page, but #1 of HN?

  From submission guidelines: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity I just spent a whole day in AES encryption, specifications and code. Being reminded there is a wider world out there, quite literally, is fine by me, especially a world where the answers are not obvious or wrapped in politics - why is the surface white? Is it impact or collapse? Edit - just neatened up

    Yes, yes, I know the guidelines and I agree with you ofcourse. I'm not against discussing non CS / Startup related topics. I just felt that this particular topic isn't interesting enough for whole of HN to rank it at #1. I also realize the absurdity of complaining about a topic that doesn't match my interest in a news aggregator, but oh well.

      I suspect you might be, like me, beginning to suffer from deja-HN I think I would like to capture the opinions of HN's best discussions, categorise them and then be able to filter on - oh look another discussion on web security best practises. Fine - does it add anything beyond what we already have filed under best-of-HN-security - no? Ok ignore. It's what I suspect kills most forums, not really going downhill, but going round and round the same hill. Instead of some of our more prolific members saying "I have posted on this before (a lot)" maybe they could say "look at the HNBrain on #dontdropyourdayrate " Cheers

  Yes, it's easy to verify. Just look at the top slot of the front page.
