HN is still run by YC and the jobs postings are from YC companies. The most recent change is roughly a month old and has actually made it more apparent that job postings are not regular stories. From http://ycombinator.com/newsnews.html http://ycombinator.com/newsnews.html : "I've just released a new version that fixes much of the brokenness of the way job listings used to be handled. When I first added jobs, to save time I reused as much of the code for stories as possible. This worked well enough when HN was a small community, but it has been working less well now that HN has grown. A lot of the newly arrived users seem not to have realized that job listings are the ads here-- that while they look like stories, they're not. The new code makes this more evident. Jobs no longer have points or submitters, and in fact the ranking algorithm for jobs is now completely different. Now instead of being ranked by points, jobs simply start at position 4 and slide down the page at 4 positions per hour. To prevent the frontpage from being overloaded with jobs, no one can post a new job when there is still one in the top half of the page. I still have to make jobs persist longer on the jobs page. I may also have to add a job posting queue. For now it's first come first served."
