I stopped using hackerne.ws when I found out that domain name wasn't under the control of PG/YC.

  Why? (I use news.yco... just wondering)

    hackerne.ws is registered anonymously. Today hackerne.ws points to news.ycombinator.com. Perhaps tomorrow it will proxy news.ycombinator.com instead, and add browser exploit attacks to pages as they pass through. You might say this is paranoia. But there is no cost to using news.ycombinator.com instead of hackerne.ws, so why take the risk, however small?

      Ah, fair enough.
