For the Hacker News Guidelines - "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity". That's probably the reason I thought it is OK to post this question on HN.
- lutusp 14y ago> For the Hacker News Guidelines - "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity". They also say: "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic." The phrase you quoted from the guidelines probably causes more confusion than it prevents, because IMHO it means anything that would gratify a hacker's curiosity, but it isn't worded that way. I always obey the writer's rule -- before posting something, for a while I read what others post about, to find out what's really topical.
