Hacker News Reader

If you have another look at the guidelines you'll see that any article that arouses the community's curiousity is fair game.

I know what the guidelines are. I'm questioning the guidelines.

From my understanding, HN is for intellectually stimulating conversation. If it was 100% talk about database management and regex and software updates, that would not remain very engaging for long.

You're free to hide such stories. This one's title made it very obvious what the subject matter would be.

HN does love brain injuries and anything to do with neuroscience generally (no matter how morbid the injury).

HN is not a person and no visitor reads or submits every post.
