Sorry, I guess it's not "news." But the guidelines don't mention that it has to be. And it's not really necrobumping since I'm not reopening an old thread, just posting an article I read that I found really interesting, regardless of its age.
From the guidelines:
"What to Submit
On-Topic: 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."
