> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Given the amount of discussion in this thread, I dare say it qualifies as interesting to a fair number of people here.

Even though I am not one of the many people on here who build the tools used to spread misinformation, I find the intersection of memetics and technology interesting. The future course of humanity and history is deeply affected by this garbage.
How do you think misinformation reaches people?
