Hacker News Reader

Well, I'd say it's pretty close to clickbait. Also, it reminds a bit of "dog whistling": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog-whistle_politics

Not very good click bait as it’s clear from the headline the HN comments will be better than the article, so I usually skip the article and read the comments. :)

I'd be interested in reading coverage of Brin's comments without having to wade through the smart alec dickhead style of The Inquirer (is it a sister publication to TheRegister?)

Edit: direct link to the letter posted elsewhere on this page.
