Ask HN: What's your definition of "Hacker News"?

As most of us know, submissions should follow PG's "Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." Nevertheless, in discussion, the question of relevancy often comes up. So, HN, what is your definition of "Hacker News"?

See my previous meta submission on this topic.

A place of enlightenment. Where budding hackers (like me) can come and learn more about the internals of the hacker subculture. I feel HN has opened doors for me that I didn't even know existed before. I feel like the whole world is at my fingertips.
