This is the very first paragraph of the Guidelines: > On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups.

The "why is this here" posts seem to be happening more frequently in the last couple of months, but I guess it's possible that I just wasn't noticing them before.
