If you really have the time to read everything on HN, then maybe have enough time to read a news source that requires more concentration:

I've almost completely stopped reading /. since I was turned on to HN last summer.

1. /. has too much Popular Science-ish golly-gee-whizz hoax-level never-gonna-see-the-light-of-day crap that seem to only be vehicles for sucker investments. 2. /. users are more from the video game playing IT nerd in his mom's basement crowd that has very few life experiences outside of Azeroth. The comments sections are almost always a poorly modded, troll filled mess. Ugh, and the politics threads are particularly bad.

You mean more time sink?

You can sign up with the link I don't have either facebook or twitter. Just full in name, email & password. all done :p you don't have to use any 3rd party services. Just signed up ... pretty good stuff. If you want some very focussed news about just about anything it's a great place to go.
