Not exactly like HN, but stackoverflow has a lot of different sites for niche and interesting topics

Of all the things you can do or can't do on stackoverflow, "discussions" are probably the thing you are going to get doxxed the hardest for.

StackOverflow has extremely high standards, yes, but it is an extremely professional atmosphere. I have never seen someone 'doxxed' on the platform and if someone did it would get shutdown quick. I suspect you don't know what that word means.

http://old.reddit.com/r/programmingcirclejerk/ has almost the same content that you see on HN.

I don't think there's anything comparable in terms of activity/traffic. Lobste.rs is the closest but it just has way less active users and daily content.

For frequent flyers, FlyerTalk is excellent. It could also be described as the birthplace of WhatsApp, in which one of the co-founders asked for 'thoughts on my free iphone app'[0], which is amusing in retrospect. [ https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/travel-technology/952359-tho... ]

+1. FlyerTalk is excellent. There are some seriously experienced travelers on that site, and reading comments from 2000 is always fun.

BiggerPockets.com is great for real estate (but beware of the scammers).

bogleheads is great if you're into personal finance of all sorts

airliners.net is great if you're into airline operations; PPRuNe.org too

My favorite for Business : https://gladiacteur.com (French)

What would be my option to read this without knowing french?

The same options as someone wanting to read Hacker News without knowing English.

I can't remember if it was Joel Spolsky or Jeff Atwood who said this, but the analogy they used was Stack Overflow is supposed to be the college, not the quad. There we're plenty of unstructured discussions at the time, very few sites dedicated to the creation and cataloging of information.
