What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Here are links to many posts throughout the years posted by others with similar content that weren't flagged and that generated a tremendous amount of conversation with many insights to be had from reading them: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16996420 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16996420 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18613124 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18613124 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42070946 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42070946 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42396733 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42396733 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46648778 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46648778 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22232036 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22232036
