There's very little crap here, both in the comments and the links.
Crap is my personal distaste in news, namely celebrity obsession, fluff, non-informative articles, time-wasters, fashion trends and the like.
I love the occasional article on 14'th. century Venice and biology as much as the ones related to hacking and startups because they aren't crap if they rise to the frontpage.
While I mostly agree with what you say, I have to admit I find hacker news a tad heavy when it comes to overhyping whatever language fashionable this month. Also I have about zero interest in startups and venture capitol etc etc, unless someone has any cool tech to demo.
Not a deal-breaker by any means, but it get tiring every now and then :)
I'm mostly here for the tech news and civilized discussion really. Call me a proggit-refugee if you like.
