I usually find the HackerNews police too strict, and I really like the New Yorker, but I can't think of what relevance this specific article has to the HackerNews community...

- dang 12y agoPlease re-read the HN guidelines. Anything of intellectual interest is on topic. That includes quality historical material.
- djb_hackernews 12y agoSome hackers are building products tackling issues in journalism, communication, social problems, etc. This piece is an excellent walk through the history of an incredibly influential organization that will give such hackers a chance to better understand the context of their work, where they are coming from, where they are, and what the future may hold. To me, that's what HN is all about.
