Admittedly, it might not coincide with the ostensible subject matter of HN
(other than it being tangentially related to statistical analysis and the
technology sector), but evidently, a nontrivial number of people see value in
reading it. The entire point of HN is that is to organically select superior
content. Differentiation and evaluation shouldn't happen before posting, it
should happen afterwards and be conducted by the community.

The whole point of HN is that nothing has to be strictly topical. Everyone is

This is misleading, they lost 1,600 full-time (or equivalent) workers. This
could mean a lot of their part-time workers getting extra hours could no
longer get extra hours, it doesn't mean they 'axed' 1,600 full-time positions,
they likely cut the hours of 1,600 part-time employees.

Then there's the whole, it was the Christmas season. I bet if you look back at
records for the past decade there's either been a decline in employees in Q2
as apposed to Q1 or that their growth rate stalls in the Q2 as they no longer
need new workers. Then I bet if you look at Q4, there's a big employment spike
for the Christmas season.
