This is such a great idea! I'm eager to throw sats at you for doing this.
What's best about Stacker News isn't the high quality posts, it's the high quality discussions. If you could curate and edit a selection of the best discussions during the week, including the post they're based around, that would be incredible.

That'll just be me and @grayruby talking about random sports stuff.
I think that selection will require some serious editorial discretion, but if you can distill the most interesting comments into something that reads like a coherent conversation, it would be very valuable for people who don't have the time to sort through some of the large discussion threads.
Basically, I'm thinking of a more refined and polished version of how you discuss posts on SNL, using the text of the posts and comments as much as possible.

I love this idea - an interesting take on the unsolved problem of making discussions in general the unit of concern, vs posts. Curating it in an independent medium could inspire.

I'm glad you can see the vision. It wouldn't just be sharing Stacker News content in print. It could really enhance what was created here.

You could even get more meta - themes vs posts / comments. How do different things relate to each other and form some larger movement?
Think Lapham's Quarterly.
So many cool directions it could go in. How else could one/offline support each other? I love seeing this kind of creativity unfold.

I was thinking of that sort of thing, too. It doesn't have to be restricted to a particular post. There are often multiple on similar or related topics and it would be very cool to blend them and their comments into a coherent piece.
