I’m sorry this has nothing to do with your post, but what are you doing on HN?
I’m always so curious when I see the sheer diversity in backgrounds and interests on HN, especially when not directly related to tech.

That is, there is an audience, so far not very well served, for good information.
Soooo, HN can attract people who want good information even if they run BBQ restaurants and don't read about neural networks, the latest microprocessors, or the question of P versus NP. Sooo, we have some evidence that some of the audience so wants good information that they are willing to jump over a high fence into Techy-Land with issues of cache concurrency in multicore processors or distributed databases to get their information.
Part of the future of the Internet, then, is (A) generating such information and (B) helping people find from all that information what they like.
