It would be awesome if you or someone could make a similar version for New York City.

  This is an interesting idea. Maybe it would solve pg's scaling concerns (not hardware & software but content & character) of HN to make regional sites covering NYC, Austin, Bay Area, London, etc. in addition to the top level 'global' one. Make it a craigslist of startup/tech discussion and maybe even have the best local content percolate to a top-level/global page. I think if you stayed on a local page you immediately get back to a vibe of the early days of HN simply because of the reduction in readers/commenters and realignment of interests (ie: the startup scene in Singapore).

    One of the major issues here is that Hacker News hasn't been YC news for a long time. It's evolved on purpose to be something more than start-up focused. Not that I don't like your idea, just that what you're asking for is a reduction of scope that I think pg has specifically not intended.

      dont think sigint.sg was set up with what pg wanted in mind. i would say that this is a great effort to start the discussion on region specific info relating to start ups which I think is what HN is not able to provide.
