> This only has to do with mismatch of the scope of HN and the scope that you are interested in.

It's not scope mismatch, it's that HN doesn't present a (nearly, roughly) complete picture of current events in any scope (other than the scope of itself, of course).

But any news aggregator's scope is itself.

Isn't that Wittgenstein? :)

Please make at least a vague reference, I haven't read him.

"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world"

is a famous quote attributed to him afaik (maybe i mangled it a bit).

This is what happens when people have too much time for HN. It is a stretch to interpret my reply like that.

Wittgenstein was/is highly influential on set theory incuding, if I recall, something something a thing being a set of itself.

I just meant that you seemingly said nothing.

The last part was a joke; you got it, but you didn't get it. :)
