To me, HN is as much as about the community here as it is with the kind of news I get. Sometimes, I get more value from the discussions on HN than a few articles on the front-page put together. We have some amazing people here.

THAT - is very very hard to reproduce.

The Economist: http://www.economist.com - or get a Kindle and load up on books.

So I clicked on this link and I see nothing but a form for registering. The answer is no.

And only facebook too... It's a great service though.

See "I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account."

I suppose you like to spend a lot of time reading eh?

I'd say newspapers would be a good source. New York Times. CNN. BBC. Economist. Inc. Entrepreneur.

Hm... maybe I should provide contents more for people like you :D

I am constantly logged on to Quora so haven't seen the login form for ages, but I don't remember it was Facebook login only. I have a regular old school login there. I certainly don't link or join anything that forces me to link my Facebook account to it.

It is not facebook only. I don't use facebook. I don't remember now, but I may have logged in with Twitter authentication.

And you're too busy to verify that so this is just speculation?

You might find my Hacker Newsletter project ( http://hackernewsletter.com ) useful if you're not on HN all the time. It comes out every Friday. In addition to that, I'm working on another newsletter that will provide even more reading on a daily basis. Details on that will be in next week's issue. :)

Just subscribed. You should have a 'Tweet this' button after entering your email- I'd tweet it out :)
