The site started out as "Startup News" but they broadened it shortly after to be "Hacker News."
"On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. "

This site being for start-ups had too much material that wasn't interesting for hackers, and as the main target of the site was hackers anyway, the focus was put on hacking, maybe very near the intersection.
