This may be a situation where HackerNews' shorthand of omitting the subdomain is not good. spectrum.ieee.org appears to be more of a newsletter or editorial part of the website, but you wouldn't know that's what this was just based on the HN tag.
- preommr 9mo agoI've been on this site for over a decade now and didn't know this. That's a genuinely baffling decision given how different content across subdomains can be.
- bee_rider 9mo agoOn the other hand, “ieee spectrum” is directly at the top of the page, then “guest article.”
- ronbenton 9mo agoWell, as much as I'm sure HN is a special place ;) , it is well documented that a lot of people on the internet just read the headlines
- hxugufjfjf 9mo agoArticles? Headlines? I go right to the comments!
- badc0ffee 9mo agoMaybe an exception could be made here, like HN does for medium.com.
