I'm an ordinary person from France. I don't work in IT but HN has helped me to get a hard as steel general culture (sorry , I'm french, not a good english speaker !).

1. Top quality articles and research paper every day, in every domain of science 2. The real news, I mean, the news that matter 3. Very informed opinions in the comments.

HN is the top of the top of the web !

Interesting, does it mean France doesn't have. its own version of HN-type community, or it's just that HN covers the world, which makes it more interesting?

Both actually!

There is no HN type community in France (that I know of). And the openness and international aspects of HN are incomparable

Non-IT person here too, hello there :)

I like HN for the curation and beautifully minimalist interface. I've learned a lot about technology just by lurking here.

The discussion around tech-related topics is second to none. Insightful, detailed, and well-written. I tend to avoid the discussions in non-tech fields such as politics, medicine, and philosophy, however.
