I, too, have become addicted to HN. Here are some things I like which some may not: I really like the "general geek interest" articles that usually make their way to the front page on weekends. I like political threads (that mostly concern directly or indirectly big government vs. free market). I like those threads not because they're constructive in any way, but because they provide an insight into the psyche of Sil…

"I wish HN were less biased towards ... fast-moving startups ... I do wish there was more on embedded, enterprise, real time and game development."

As someone who joined 2 days ago it seemed you have got what I hope to get out of HN, thank you for your insights. I can't help to feel there are times where you would have said the complete opposite about this?

I'm having a pretty good time here so far. Hope you keep having a good time!
