I can tell you aren't trying to be malicious, but this implies that HN is only for 'programming geeks' which is ridiculous.

Well, the news that shows up is stuff primarily relevant to programmers...

I just wonder who else would be interested

Looking at the front page right now, out of the 30 stories maybe 2-3 of them would only be of interest to programmers versus people interested in tech in general.

Interesting news?
