Hacker News Reader

Many hackers are interested in science generally.

...and there are many places where they can get and discuss information about science. I'm sure many hackers are also interested in xbox360 and Ron Paul, but that doesn't mean they are good fodder for discussion as 'hacker news'.

I understand that you are trying to broaden the purview of YC news, but my personal preference is for a more focused site.

We can learn that one should only present to investors when most fertile.

So in other words, best to keep that MacBook on the desk.

I think understanding a system and using that knowledge to get the most out of it is often a form of hacking. So for the lap dancer, it would be a hack to get off the pill, earn more money while fertile and go on holiday when her prospects are the worst. Same money earned for less work, seems like a nice hack to me.
