Ask YC: did Hacker News really achieve the objective?

"The focus of Hacker News is going to be anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes a lot 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."

Do you think the current Hacker News fully achieves this? and the main question here: do you think this site really achieves keeping a good hacker community together?
