This doesn't solve the bigger problem, namely, that posting countless stories on Snowden is really killing HN. Seriously, we're one step away from having stories on what Snowden had for lunch on his flight to Moscow on the front page. I don't buy the "Let the community decide what should be on the front page" argument either. Communities tend to follow the same laws of entropy like anything else in this universe. Without a certain number of people putting in considerable effort to keep up the quality of submitted articles and discussions, they tend to devolve into places with a bunch of articles that bring nothing new to the table, and with discussions that are nothing more than long, tiresome rants or flame wars that have no real value.
- dubcanada 13y agoWait he's flying to Moscow? Joking aside if there is a story about his lunch on his way to Moscow, which also means he is flying to Moscow. That's important. I'm indifferent about the situation because I don't live in US. But it still matters, you're just not interested in it. So you should do what he says and mentally filter it out. If this was 9/11 or something you felt more connected with (I'm not saying 9/11 is it, but I'm assuming your American and probably feel something for that date), you would not be saying this to begin with.
