It feels like a quick intro on what Asimov Press was in the first place would've been a good idea.


It's there, just a few paragraphs in and also on https://www.asimov.press/about, it's not that hard to find if you are really curious.


Yeah.

I get the impression that if you're uninterested in either reading enough of the press release to get to the parts where they mention what they did, or navigating to the top-level index for the blog, where what they write about is made very plain, then you're not the type of person who would give any shits about what they write about.


No, it was just a poorly structured announcement


It’s an announcement published for their followers and distributed through their own channels to those people. That it doesn’t make sense when detached from that context and put on HN to people with no knowledge of who they are seems very much irrelevant to the goals of writing the post?


That's, like, your opinion, man.


If you don't know what Asimov Press is then you're probably not the target audience for a post about Asimov Press not publishing for a while.


Although I appreciate that your comment reminded me of a classic Elvis Costello line (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptnXM6rsxSY#t=21s), please don't post like this to Hacker News.

It comes across as a putdown. Much better and just was easy is to share some of what you know with others (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).


This is an employee posting it to hackernews, which lets be honest is glad for any content that isn't a repost from 15+ years ago. Most people won't have heard of this vanity publication. And if this is news then il go elsewhere


Joe is a great submitter and I don't believe he's an employee of Asimov Press... unless he got bored with being a retired anesthesiologist?


Its posts were fairly frequently shared & discussed here, I immediately recognised the name, even though I'm not even sure I ever read one.
