Could you update your question description and elaborate further, please? To me, HN feels like:
[33.3%] Startup-oriented technical content, focusing on web and mobile in particular.
[33.3%] Startup-oriented business professional content... such as funding stories, job interview styles, debates about open floor plans being a good or bad thing, etc.
[33.3%] "Social justice" content, open-source licensing, NSA surveillance... random interesting articles from The Atlantic, The Economist, Nautilus, or PLOS.
Myself, being primarily interested in that first 33%, I long for MORE "technical" content, and I see that as being coupled together with "web-focused". Slashdot was awesome 10 or 15 years ago, but is an empty shell today. While Reddit has its moments, the demographics are a bit young and there just aren't enough greybeards there to teach me things. It often feels like a thousand sophomores, lecturing to ten-thousand freshmen.
I'm interested in how exactly you perceive HN, and why you see "technical" and "web-focused" as contradictory rather than similar.

If this is serious, could you please indicate what you mean by "web-focused", but not in a technical sense, means?
