Fuck the news, acquire knowledge. :D The reason it pops up is someone noticed it, posted it online, and it grew viral because it's something people like to hear

  AGain, why not mention its from 2012 in the title then? That's what people do on HN for older contents. and if you f* the news then why do you come on a website that has NEWS in its title?

    Hacker News is called Hacker News because it used to be called Startup News. The only mention of the word "news" in the Hacker News guidelines is in the line stating that "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

    What!? I was not consciously aware this was a news site! What if there was some way to discuss things ?
