HN Turning into Aircraft News ? #SaveHN

• ChuckMcM 13y ago
  Just as a sort of FYI in case it isn't well known, commenting is a form of upvoting here, so the ideal response to let something fall off the front page an into obscurity is to just note it and move on :-). Eventually people think "Oh another plane story" and ignore it, and balance is restored.

    I hope I'm not the only one enjoying the meta discussion going on, with interesting links to impressive aeronautical engineering feats pinging back and forth. I feel like HN decided to have an after-hours conversation on these planes, and a bunch of us get the pleasure to peek at a subinterest of apparently a bunch of hacker-types.

  Airplanes are cool as hell. The entire concept of aviation is kind of a hack in itself, right? A post about airplanes is way better than some thinly-veiled ad for a startup, though.

    Agreed. I'd rather see an aviation story than one on yet another Twitter clone.

    You don't have to fabricate a justification of 'hacking'. It's a good story, let it stand in its merits.
