Completely OT, but I accidentally downvoted you due to an errant attempt to click on your link -- sorry about that.

hahhahahaha :D you're cool man... The Op asked for a HN alternative. (Arxiv is great, I subscribed to all rss) But I bet you can't comment on a dissertation/tehsis/publication like you do on HN/reddit. hehe :)
Sure you can if your on relevant mailing lists / with your department colleagues. Don't know why your laughing.

I get that HN commenters are the pinnacle of the design industry, but there are better ways to remind people of it than ripping apart something unique based on the color of the buttons on the web page.
It's not even the crappy, nitpicky criticism that bothers me, it's how it's so frequently presented with zero tact, and an overdose of aggression. Reading some of the threads around here you'd think we're giving points for being rude, condescending, assuming everyone else is a complete idiot, and utter and complete verbal evisceration of other posters. In short, there are an awful lot of people here that behave like…
