Watercooler talk is fine by me. I don't have a social network of people I can discuss HN-related news with, and I make a habit out of browsing for HN's discussion of a news piece I'm interested in to pick the users' brain about it - to see whether to make a big fuss out a Facebook story for instance. The time spent on HN will always feed my guilty conscious, however, regardless of which direction it was and is heading.
