Pleasantly surprised to see electronics parts manufacturers on front page HN. The advancement of sensors nowadays is staggering - I'm reminded of the recent airborne dust sensor that's literally orders of magnitude smaller because it uses a new backscatter detection mechanism. All this technology available at very reasonable prices too.

It is nice to see more technically oriented things on the main page. It is frustrating to see very high level more businessy topics.

It is fascinating to me how 'hackers' went from being people who operated at the margins of established technology (2600, Capn Crunch anyone?), to being the literal establishment, in the sense that probably a good chunk of the 'hackers' here work at one of the big 5 or plausibly could.

Slashdot is HN minus good behavior and a touch of 4chan. Their site is such shit with the ads though.

And webtech topics are equally boring and/or frustrating.
