I think they're trying to mix HN with a Bloomberg Terminal style feel. Then do some aggregation of topics into the right bar? I can see this making sense if you have this pulled up and see a topic soar to the top of the pile on the right hand side?
Personally, to me it sounds like some more of the same fear mongering crap. Most likely baseless and useless besides for bringing in the operators revenue
What does "Los Angeles Lakers Running Out Of Excuses Following Latest Losing Streak" - currently number 5 in the list - have to do with the brewing financial storm?
You might want to call your pension fund manager to ask what percentage of your retirement is riding on the Lakers pulling it together this season :(...
I'm missing some of the "brewing financial storm" in some of the stories/linked on the front page of this site. It's also ~50% Forbes "sites" articles, which HN has repeatedly and correctly noted often lack basic editorial and factchecking oversight.
Looks like a worthy successor to nickb's New Mogul[0,1].
Love the speed, layout, and dark mode.
But without accounts/voting, how is spam dealt with? It seems a number of stories in the current top ten aren't related to financial news. And without commenting, the most valuable part may be lost (HN comments are often much better than the linked stories).
But what’s the obsession with risk here and how exactly does that (functionally*) factor into the sites ethos?
Also, who said there’s a financial storm coming?
Cool site, but the FUD seems disingenuous at best.
