Not your cup of tea and that's cool but.. a lot of people like ephemeral news. TC posts aren't essays that'll make good book material, but in terms of a cutting insight or an exclusive scoop that matters to a lot of people <i>right now</i>, TC is pretty good.<p>Also, this site is called Hacker <i>News</i>, rather than Hacker Essays or Hacker Articles. While I also <i>prefer</i> the essays, articles, and deep blog posts, I also couldn't say that TC stuff isn't relevant here because it <i>is</i> usually "news."
