Hmm, I dunno.

Apples to oranges for me. I look at HN as a place where techies discuss topics that interest them, vs Techmeme which lists tech stories in the media, sans discussion.

Speaking of pedantry, here's my obligatory response where I say Apples and Oranges can in fact be compared http://improbable.com/airchives/paperair/volume1/v1i3/air-1-...

This. HN often has discussions about an article here because of the community and the calibre (as opposed to HN members on the site itself), while Techmeme relies on the inherent "conversational" properties of blogs themselves.
