At least a third of the items on HN are not hacker news, such as this on the front page now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25317896 https://news.ycombina

  That's true, but HN as a whole does reflect hacker culture - even in the non-computer-ish things that they take an interest in. If you had a bunch of economists, for example, you'd get more economics and less programming, but also different history, different art.... Hmm, actually you'd probably get econjobrumors.

    > HN as a whole does reflect hacker culture I don't feel this even a little bit. It represents tech culture pretty decently, and there is a lot of overlap with hacker culture.

      What's the difference?

        Not much if you focus on exclusively white-hat hackers. It's really the black/grey hat hackers who's culture is sort of... marginalized? on HN.
