YC funds HN so poorly that they can barely afford a single core to run this web forum.

  It doesn't have to do with funding. The codebase is just efficient so it doesn't need much to run very fast.

    Until suddenly it does and we see Sorry, we can't serve your requests this fast.

      Honestly can't relate. I usually use HN when I have a poor cell signal because it loads so damn fast regardless.
