Also, what is "as khn" and "as kyc"? It looks like one replaced the other.
- tdm911 17y agoI believe it's just the text formatting gone awry. They are: ask hn (ask hacker news) and ask yc (ask Y Combinator). ask yc was obviously more popular in the early days.
- jacquesm 17y agoYou're correct. I don't know why the plot headings did that, in the tags they are correct.
- MikeCapone 17y agoI think "as khn" is "Ask Hacker News" and "as kyc" is "Ask Y Combinator".
- sparky 17y agoForgive me if I'm misinterpreting your question. I believe it should be "Ask HN" (Hacker News) and "Ask YC" (Y Combinator). I haven't been around here for too long, but I have seen many Ask HN threads and none specifically addressed to YC. Those threads about the Y Combinator process are usually of the form "Ask PG: " (Paul Graham) or "Ask HN: YC Founders, what do you think about X?"
