Why shouldn't the natural world and science in general be an interest for hackers?

Why shouldn't the natural world and science in general be an interest for hackers?
- benofsky 17y agoExactly, HN is not explicitly for "Hacker News" but rather news hackers (and entrepreneurs) may find interesting. I find this interesting.
- anc2020 17y agoJust to clarify, I _do_ find this interesting. However, I don't find it interesting because I am a "hacker", I find it interesting because I am a person, and people are likely to find this interesting - it has nothing to do with whether you are a "hacker" or not. When I visit Hacker News, I want to see news that is interesting, sure, but also related to hacking or entrepreneurship. There are lots of interesting things in this world and like I said, it could easily make up enough content for another HN-style site. One that I would visit. When I wanted "generally interesting" news. As opposed to "Hacker" News.
