There was interesting discussion going on.

I'd love to know the reason it was killed twice.

"... Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic. ..."

To be fair, most stories on HN these days mention politics.

I see no sign of crime, sports, disasters, nor cute animals.

I'm pretty sure no TV news channel would feature this website.

Since it shot up to the top three spots and stayed there for a few hours (now at 305 points), I'd say calling 'off-topic' is pretty lame.
