According to the guidelines hacker news is..."Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."
Funnily the guidelines also mention this: "Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site."

Fair enough. I've been here since before there were guidelines. (a couple of days after the site started) FPS ain't hacker news.
