I think there's a sizable camp of HN members who just come here to read the various interesting tech articles, with no plans to join the cult of SV.

Money is a tool in a hacker's kit like any other. If you don't recognize the importance of useful tools you aren't a hacker ;)

That's a strange formula. Shouldn't there be some kind of saturation for freedom.
