He explained in the article why he doesn't do a 301 redirect.
- tlrobinson 17y ago"I'd have to setup a server, which would enforce the notion that I am doing some kind of man-in-the-middle attack. There is also some obvious reason pointed out by HN members, no need to refer to it." The first one isn't a good reason. If it immediately redirects the user will then be at news.ycombinator.com, which can be trusted. What was the second reason? Also, pg could solve this by performing the redirect himself whenever the "Host" header is not equal to "news.ycombinator.com"
