Hit F12 on your browser and look at the network traffic. HN only loads a handful of files: the html page, a style sheet, a JavaScript file and a few GIFs for the arrows and faveicon. The JS is uncompressed and very readable. It only contains logic for site use, no code to call back some other trackers. A perfect example of site that doesn't need to use client-side analytics to sell ads.
