 The older you are, the more you want to see non-tech on HN?
dgulledge: One of the best things about HN is precisely that there is a core focus to it, but that it touches on many related topics.  Some of the most valuable areas for exploration are where one field of knowledge meets another.  Each sheds some light on areas of the other that haven't yet been explored.At 44, I'm backing up your argument.  But honestly, I had already accumulated most of my eclectic intellectual curiosity a quarter century ago.  Even so, I still browse the technical books at bookstores.  Libraries are hopelessly out-of-date on anything technical that would interest me.  I don't need the latest power users' guide to anything.  I'm interested in new insights into building something that has never been done before.
