Shouldn't moderators remove this? This is not /r/upliftingnews or /r/futurology.

I know I'm being grumpy and highly skeptical, and that Y combinator is about innovation, but why not make a hackernews to compartmentalize those things?

I would be okay about a paper that discuss feasibility instead of the usual "maybe yes? maybe no." blogspam.

HN's only criterion is whether something is intellectually interesting. I don't see why we should remove this one - but I do think the baity title could be replaced (this is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), so I've replaced it with a more representative sentence from the article.
