I do, however, enjoy coming here very day and reading the opinions of that subset of the population. That's why I continue to upvote NSA-related threads and voted "I wanted more."
They are equally relevant to worldwide "hackers" as US-only politics.
One of the most interesting articles I've read from HN was about citrus fruit and polar exploration. Real enlightening stuff. If you've got good kite-surfing articles, submit them.
I don't think it's wise to do that, but I understand why one might think it a good idea.
Not in the slightest.
I checked the definition of "privilege" - a special right, immunity - and I have no idea why you think I communicated that at all.
All I said was that I enjoy reading the opinions of the Hacker News population on topics that go beyond startups/technology.
