Of course, this used to be called "Startup News" but then PG picked the more general "Hacker News" instead.
While not everyone reading and posting on HN is a hacker, the website was founded by one of the world's greatest. So, I think that justifies the title.
Still, no matter what you publish, those outside your intended demographic will always read it. If you made a website called "Gangsta News", I'm sure white suburban kids from middle class families would read it.
