      Hn isn't just news about hacking. You could complain that this story doesn't fit the guidelines, but saying "it isn't about hacking" is much narrower than the guidelines allow. > On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. > Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

  It's a community of hackers. But topics are not restricted by category.
