The article says that HN failed to predict the success of AirBnb. While factually correct, this says nothing about HN (or anyone in general). Nobody was able to predict the success of AirBnb, even the savviest of investors. AirBnb wasn't the only company of its kind, it wasn't run by the smartest people out there, it wasn't launched at some particularly good time, or anything similar.
They have just survived and succeeded. Why? Who knows.
But obsessing about HN comments is truly not worth it.
