Hacker News Reader

You would think so, but I've been surprised at the diversity of topics on there. There's especially good stuff for folks who are interested in some of the ideas of people like William Bernstein[0], who advocate for index-based portfolios that are more complicated than the bog standard two- or three-fund ones.

A community consisting of people patting each other on the back for being so much more clever than everyone else is rarely boring to the participants.

The fact that this explains a majority of self-selecting communities is purely coincidental, of course.

Including Hacker News, no doubt.

NO SHIT.

Depends on where your interests lie. Personally I find that forum insightful.
