HN is way more geeky/nerdy than your regular tech news, hence my curiosity.
Not really, it's just slower moving. For every 1 real geek tech post, there are two or three days of regular news things. I came here based on the slower, more thoughtful discussion. I'm in higher ed, not even close to tech.

- Could be they are still in school
Not everyone who cares about tech news is working in the tech field.
