I think of HN as: slashdot meets kur5hin - its got the story volume and focus that reminds me of old slashdot, with the more thoughtful comment section of kuro5hin. Having seen/participated in slashdot in the late 90s, kuro5hin in the early 2000s and HN for most of it, I agree that HN today is better.
