Thanks for posting that link. It's important background info that apparently the other commenters weren't aware of. They basically have, due to their excellent product, deep pockets, and professional promotion, become the default place to post not just start-up posts, but political ones as well. All that background is assumed in my post because I've written about it many times before, in different contexts, and posted links to other commentary about Medium. As often is the case commenters on Hacker News don't always thoroughly research the background for THEIR opinions as they excoriate others for the same. ;-)
