How is this relevant to HN?
- frinxor 13y agoTheres a lot of stuff thrown into HN these days. I'd say that interesting pieces on world events is a lot better than some local story (such as some local Boston or SF event) which has popped up on the front page from time to time.
- area51org 13y agoHN is about anything that interests the community. It doesn't strictly have to be about hacking. (Witness the number of science articles here.)
- rhizome 13y agoThe logic is that if the submitter is interested in it and also reads HN, then it's relevant to HN. It's a nice circular relationship.
- skylan_q 13y agoIt sets the tone of world affairs. If things went slightly worse in the last few days, there could have been WWIII. I think "hey, we've backed off a bit from dying in a nuclear hellfire" is somewhat relevant. :)
- egze 13y agoSorry it wasn't about another YC company hiring.
- rdl 13y agoThis is of global importance on the order of war being declared between two mid-tier countries. It's probably not worthy of 50 articles about this article on HN, but a single direct link to the primary source seems more than warranted.
- gdy 13y agoIt's got upvoted on HN therefore it's relevant to HN J
