>news interesting to hackers generally.

Obviously hackers have found this interesting, but I agree it is on the border of being irrelevant. I think it is useful to use PG's rule of thumb that if it's covered on TV news then it's off topic which I think this is an exception to.

I like this new direction that yc is taking, the site was rather boring to me before which I barely frequented until I saw that it changed on reddit.

I shouldn't come here to often because each time I read something by PG I feel like quitting my job and starting a company.

I think part of what bugs me is that it's also somewhat sensationalist, which is why reddit keeps reposting it.
