What's the Purpose of Hacker News to You?
HeyLaughingBoy: Odds are, I will never do a software-only startup. I'm an embedded systems guy and at the least I'll have to release electronic hardware as well. But for me HN is business from a different perspective. I get to see things from a primarily web-app, data-driven perspective. And while a lot of the business models I see here are doomed to failure, I can still learn from them by seeing what people are attempting to do.Science, math, languages? Not so much. Tech business is a lot more interesting and fun.
