- iamwil 5y agoIt originally was. It was originally Startup News. But PG thought it got boring, so expanded the scope to what Hackers might find interesting, so it became Hacker news.
- tannhaeuser 5y agoThat's not fair. Don't forget submissions whining about account suspension or otherwise getting "customer support" (as if you were a customer) at random FAANG to care. Or connect-the-dots submissions about the latest cloud zoo, Javascript, CSS, REST, or Rust fad. Or scary outlooks into the minds and state of Functional Programming community members, ycombinator and all. Or meme-y post-acquihire Incredible Journey submissions, or faux let's disrupt x ones. Or MS tech stack shillfests. Wondering how far labeling posts by above categories would get us towards S/N discrimination.
