That's interesting but you're better off going by the actual guidelines of the actual site and the many times they've been restated and commented upon by the actual moderators. Many relevant ones here
sorry but you don't get to redefine the word "news". The site is literally called "hacker news". so by definition, its a news site. granted, its news specific to computing and technology, but news just the same. unless everyone in the world got together behind my back, and changed the entire english language, then its a news site.
