| The design is clean and free of clutter. Please keep it this way. Sadly, though not your fault, the rate of cumulative quantity of garbage output from news companies, and the general public is becoming a cesspool and the good stuff is getting harder to find. Herr Einstein once said, “Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors [...] is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else.” Some really great essays and articles are not necessarily contemporary but are random citations and footnotes on Wiikiquote and GoodReads that I found out incidentally. Some examples: http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.805/articles/priva... http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Extras/Poincare_Intu... http://www.bartleby.com/130/1.html Some of these articles are "heavy reading" but the kind of material that HN people might read as a bedtime story. :) Hopefully, the premise here is to create a garbage filter for news and reading material. We need news but curating lesser known but significant writings is also imporant IMHO. We seriously need to apply ourselves to this problem so good luck. |
