I think I've come in to the wrong forum. I thought this was HN.
- dave_sid 13y agoCan't believe this story is at the top of the front page. Shame. Shame on you.
- theorique 13y agoBecause the inner workings of different human minds are not of interest to hackers. Why shame?
- RamiK 13y agoShame might be too hard, but I agree with OP. It's a general human interest piece that has little place in a dedicated technical news forum. Mind you, I feel similarly about most NSA submissions and while I would very much like to have a dedicated mews aggregator \ Groklaw'esque blog-forum dedicated to the NSA\Snowden revelations, I don't try making HN into one.
- dave_sid 13y agoThanks for backing me up a little. I seem to have lost karma points for expressing my opinion also.
- dave_sid 13y agoI lost 2 karma points for expressing a valid opinion? It just confirms to me that HN is not what it used to be. I'll find somewhere else to find real actual tech discussion from now on and the community here can keep their karma points and carry on with their chat about the human condition.

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. >Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. >Resist complaining about being downmodded. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.
- dave_sid 13y agoJust read the original post, and realised it didn't sound as jokey as I'd intended. I'll add a smiley next time. But I was serious about the topic however. Come on... that story was at number one on the front page! :-)
