I'd love an explicit ban on pop-sci health articles in the guidelines. Most of them are pure upvote-garbage. They can make HN look like a tabloid.

- zackattack 17y agoI agree. In the past year I've probably seen 20 different articles about sleep. In equal amounts they espouse the philosophies that we don't know why we sleep, sleep is for safety from animals, and that sleep is for the consolidation of memories. I would like to see more articles about how to hack sleep -- we hackers have notoriously irregular sleep cycles :).
- llimllib 17y agoWhile it mentions pop-sci health, I think this is not a pop-sci health article. (I would support a hypothetical ban on those too, FWIW)
- thunk 17y agoOh, I wasn't suggesting it was. I thought it was a good post.
