HN seems to be gravitating away from the guidelines (maybe it&#x27;s the pull of the election season?) What do you think? Personally, I&#x27;m not a big fan of political stories on HN unless they concern technology. I feel like I&#x27;m already drowning in political news and opinion.<p>What to Submit<p>On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one&#x27;s intellectual curiosity.<p>Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they&#x27;re evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they&#x27;d cover it on TV news, it&#x27;s probably off-topic.
