It took more than a month to realize that HN community is a small branch of a seed accelerator by Paul Graham. As such, expecting anything more than what you're getting is naive. Of course everybody here is interested on startups and their stories (failures and successes). That said, ones needs to define what the word hacker stands for. Until 5 years ago, I'd agree that a hacker is a computer geek with strong ties to the security field. Nowadays I am not interested in security as much as building up things and I don't believe that the word should have these kind of restrains anyway. The average user level on HN is really high for my standards. I see posts ranging from bio-informatics, to mathematics, economics and world politics. But more importantly I see insightful comments from people on and off the discussion field. So yes, this is a hacker's community and the name is appropriate IMHO.
