 The older you are, the more you want to see non-tech on HN?
kbob: More non-tech on HN: No, for the same reasons others have said.  That's what I'm here for.  In fact, since I'm not planning to found a company, I'm more interested in the technical articles than the business stories (though I read both).More interests with age: true.Tech starts to look the same: sometimes, but there is more groundbreaking stuff going on than ever before.Bookstores: yes, but is that because of my interests changing, because the books available are getting more superficial?  Would you believe that in the early 1980s, the bookstore at the mall stocked comp sci texts?  I bought one volume of Knuth there.Consciousness: If I'm interested it's because it looks like we're on the verge of being able to program it.Tolerance of others' theories: only if they're genuinely new.Life experience: absolutely not.  In fact, the one thing I've learned from joining Facebook this year is that most people spend their time doing stuff that would bore me to death.My age: 50, and gratified to see so many others of my generation speaking up here.  (I can't call us old, because we're not.)
