While Sivers is obviously an awesome guy, why is this post about him moving to Singapore hitting the frontpage?

Just curious.

(Congrats on becoming a Singapore citizen btw!)

He's a community member telling us not just about a big change in his life, but about two new projects he's starting. As a weekend post, it's pretty good. At least much better than the current top item (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2621132), which screams "video of pratfall!"

Too bad the main discussion here has turned out to be a low-quality back-and-forth about the political system and macroeconomic factors, just like the Indian reverse braindrain thread last week (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2601240)

Because all of the other white geeks on this site want to abandon their culture and move to Asia, so it appeals to them. They've been rejected by white women all their lives but have no problem with asian women. In addition, the civilized and high-tech society attracts them.
