Time On Site is a metric that compares the delta between timestamps of 2 different page views. If someone comes in reads a blog post then leaves, Google Analytics counts it as 0:00, and a bounce.
HN readers are more likely to read a blog post then hit back (and maybe comment). The bounce rate and TOS aren't a valuable metric for this audience.
