- lost_name 11y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5006037 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5006037 There's some information here. PG was late to the conversation, but said there isn't anything, while others said the exact opposite before he posted. Of course a lot could have happened in the 929 days since that was posted.
- dang 11y agoYC founders still see each others' names in orange, but that's it.
- frik 11y agoIt would be also interesting to see how the big developer conferences influenced the vote on HN.
- minimaxir 11y agoThis isn't possible with Hacker News since the voters are not public. I had done brief analysis that shows that the (YC X) submissions do receive more upvotes on average. Which is hard to attribute to a voting ring specifically.
- mattmanser 11y agoI often feel more inclined to upvote them because, in the end, YC created this community and I feel their incubees deserve a bit of that reflected glory. It's my way of saying thanks, and I suspect other people's too.
