Poll: Would you like to see this site become CS/Startup related only?

"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's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic. "

This is pretty vague, and there seems to be a lot of crossover, as it's entirely possible for an article about politics to be intellectually stimulating. For instance what is going on in Zimbabwe is sometimes covered on TV news, but usually never with the sort of depth found in the link that inspired the thread that inspired this poll.

So my question is, would you like to see the site's guidelines narrowed such that only CS/startup related links are considered on-topic? This is for no purpose other than to satisfy my own curiosity about what the general consensus here is.

But what I do have a problem with is the links to subscription-only content. Very often, it appears that the Wall Street Journal articles are submitted and approved to HN, but when I go to try and view this article(usually with a great title- often that might be something I would like to read), it turns out that I need to be a subscriber to the WSJ - hogwash! If this is all about what good hackers would find interesting, IMO, it should be in the realm of the free too. In other words, articles that require a subscription should not be submitted... unless of course all of HN's readers have a subscription and I'm just missing out...

news.ycombinator.com is less interesting to me now than when it was known as Startup News. In the year that it's been called "Hacker News" the posts have been far more general than I'd like. If I wanted that I'd spend time at Reddit.
