The article & discussion is relevant to hackernews in many respects: subversion is often construed with hacking. education and hacking.
If you believe the topic taboo, then your taboo is being 'hacked'.
I concede that the primary goal is likely to foster discussion of individuals found on hackernews opposed to inform the hackernews audience, though it's not without merit either way.
