Hmmm...Maybe I just tune out the business stuff, but I mostly see topics relating to programming, science, and technology, with a smattering of pure business stuff and product/startup announcements.

I think this may be a taxonomic problem. Consider this topic:

> Facebook's own data is not as conclusive about teens and mental health [1]

The article is about Facebook, so its definitely a business article. But it also an article on technology and society, and about the science that describes how social media consumption effects mental health.

HN would lose something if it focused purely on technology. While its essential to understand how technology works, and what changes are on the horizon, the beauty of HN is it also explores how science and technology interconnect with business, government, society, culture, etc.
