This isn’t slashdot. This is not a server under someone’s desk. This is not a quirky fight for freedom through internet protocols. Y combinator is power, influence, money, and all the abuse that may come with that.

My understanding is that for a long time HN was more or less a server under Graham's desk. But I wasn't there so maybe it's more like I believe in a rumor.
