HN was created as an interactive advertisement for YC (and startups in general), and it's important to understand that before getting sucked in.
- headgasket 11y agothis bias is something that has been creeping up more and more; if another unbiased forum for hackers-entrepreneurs does emerge I'd love to hear from it. I'm finding myself back on slashdot often these days, which has less of these ("unicorn x" for "<insert ill-defined market that will mushroom here>) story-press releases. Or polemic-y time wasting topics that have nothing to do with hacking.
