Posts like this are really disappointing to me. I come to hacker news to read about technology and startups. If I wanted to read about general news topics (bees, insects, glyphosate, general monsanto hate, etc...) I would frequent google news, CNN, or reddit.

Forgive the snark, but if you don't think using technology to make the world a better place is an appropriate topic for HN, you could consider getting your news from techcrunch.

As you can see, you'll always have someone replying with the guidelines and act as if we all come here to have the opinion of software people on topics they don't master at all.
