Because we are all online 24.7. thats it, we are here, everyone else is out in the real world.

The reason HN works is because we are all in the same area and somewhat experts (or trying to be). The problem is that NO OTHER community is online nearly 100% of the time. So there is no writer HN, no science HN, the only thing that comes close is Reddit or 4chan because those are kids, who are also online 24/7.
Real people are in the real world, only techies and kids live online.
