Personally, I think a mix of topix makes sense on here. History, specifically, an unexpected time capsule being one of them.
Very similar to the Gritty NY photos also from a couple of days ago --
The painting and the love affair are interesting, but, as a landlord, I found myself wondering: How does an apartment remain untouched for 70 years? How was the rent paid without interruption? How were rent increases handled (or did the rent remain constant for 70 years?)? How did the landlord not have to access the apartment when the other parts of the building/infrastructure were renovated/upgraded over the decades? Also, Pigalle was/is a bit of a rough neighborhood, so why wasn't there a break-in over those 70 years?
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.
I like the mix of content, but I would like to filter out some of the topics. Reddit has sub-reddits, Lobste.rs has tags (and filters for members), and Facebook has ignore from a source. There are options, but I'm not sure anyone on HN will commit to any of them.
