How do you figure? I rarely see anything on the homepage that isn't of interest to hackers.

  You'd have to have a very broad definition; imo, about half the front-page content on a typical day is hackerly. Much of the rest is just general-interest news/politics/economics/business/motivation/self-help/etc. Not that there aren't many hackers also interested in those things, but it's hardly required, and many aren't. Not surprising, either, but I think it's a particular slice of hackerdom. Since it was formerly called Startup News, it's got more of the variety of hackers interested in the biz/economics angle, as opposed to, say, the classic Bell Labs type of hacker.
