Hacker News Reader

Feels very strange to see this article on hacker news at all, let alone at the top. Not saying it shouldn't be here -- generally I feel anything that people here find interesting should be here -- but rather that I'm surprised people here find this interesting.

I found it more interesting that while the story focuses on the positives of social media -- even the dog owner says so in the interview. The HN comments are mostly on dog instincts, genetics and breeding.

It looks like the story got upvoted for other interesting reasons and not the original intent as a feel good social media story.

I recently started to watch youtube videos of painting restoration and cow hoof trimming.

I cannot draw a straight line and was never close to a cow but somehow I find it interesting to watch what others do (when they are passionate about this) and you learn plenty of things.

This is to say that what people find interesting is sometimes surprising (I am also a huge fan of French Middle Age sociology, not sure why after years of reading about the subject)
