That use of “begs the question” is unfortunate. “Raises the question” would be more cromulent, provided that cromulence can be compared.

While some may accuse you of pedantry, I applaud your embiggening others' understanding of this common mistake.
I stand by "begs the question" - it's perfectly cromulent for all "intensive purposes". (/s ~ in all seriousness, I appreciate the correction!)

The cromulent way to describe HN is "news aggregator".
But that begs the question: is Hacker News a "news" site? Despite having "news" in the name, I prefer to think of it more as a "Directory of Mostly Wonderful [Hacker] Things". At least, that's what I lurk here.
