You should stop sticking your head in the sand and start trying to read the news more efficiently.That's always my goal, but throwing the baby out with the bathwater is a cavalier sort of "efficiency." As I previously discussed, context is crucial in filtering news and a regex on headlines is a poor way to infer it.
Our discussion, though, has missed that HN is a filter already - a contextual, human-powered one. I like what HN users vote up and find it an efficient way to get tech news. If HN users frequently voted up items I was not interested in, I should not frequent it.
