Because the only reason it was posted on HN in the first place is that the company is a tech company. In that way the story is only tangentially related to hacking and startups, so it doesn't need to be on the front page.
- daturkel 12y ago"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." http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html I think the sheer number of comments indicates that the community certainly finds this "interesting." It's just a matter of keeping the comments civil and high-quality.
- epeterson19 12y agoRight, but this is an issue that everyone is talking about; it's interesting to everyone including good hackers. I don't need to come to HN to see this. This story is/was on every news website.
