Although I enjoyed this article and don't mind seeing it on hacker news, I can understand the question tho, and actually have found myself wonder about it.
of course we are human, but it's called "hacker news" and I guess people expect computer related news here. Just like when I visit soccer.com, I'm not expecting news about AI or Anne Frank :)
So it's not about being people too, it's about the subject focused (or at least implied) by this website.
I can also see the fact that HN is now more a community that an actual news site and people like to talk about more and more various subjects.
