How is this any more appropriate for Hacker News than President Obama's speech to schoolchildren (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=810399 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=810399)? It seems to me that both are a national leader saying basically common things.
- mkramlich 17y agoThe Obama/school thing lacks either of the two major themes of this site (in my eyes anyway): computing and entrepreneurship. The Turing story has Alan Turing, one of the forefathers of modern computing, and probably an idol, of sorts, to many of the readers here. So on those grounds, yeah, I could see how the latter is much more appropriate for this site.
