Well, sure... but it seemed to me that they didn't realize they're posting on Startup News, a news site for founders of startups:

"... the thing that makes hackers such good startup founders is that they care about more than business. They have intellectual curiosity driving them as well as the desire to make money. So the way to make a news site for startup founders is to make it be about more than just startups. ... If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."

My thought was to show some grace, considering that not everyone's been around here for 20 years or knows that "hacker" doesn't apply only to computer programmers. That was my thinking anyway.

I had no idea it used to be called Startup News! When I joined in 2012 this site was "essentially /r/programming but for more serious programmers and without jokes"
