What is Hacker News?
Hacker News is a social news website that caters to programmers and entrepreneurs, delivering content related to computer science and entrepreneurship.
It is run by Paul Graham's investment fund and startup incubator, 
Y-Combinator, and is different from other social news websites in that there is no option to down vote submissions; submissions can either be voted up or not voted on at all, although spam submissions can be flagged. In contrast, comments can be down voted after a user accumulates sufficient "karma" or points gained when submissions or comments are voted up. In general, content that can be submitted is defined as "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity"

Remember who owns Ycombinator
HackerNews has been a great source for information. Not as much content as can be found on other online communities like reddit, but it has been full of good advice when it has some. The knowledge base tends to be more technically savvy than other forums I've read.
