Its not the first time you've been caught in a lie, dang.

But folks, this is the secret hackernews site, called BookFace. This is the site that the event happened. Its also a nice site to conspire with other YC companies and YC itself as a cohesive market 'strategy'.

And according to sam altman (sama), https://twitter.com/sama/status/631874706543480832 . Fun to read through here.. "invaluable resource in helping us work through problems and tap the YC network for advice"...

Other secrets that HN/dang/pg don't want you to know is that founders can see each other with special flairs here. Of course, conspiring on BookFace also helps too.

None of that is secret much less anything anybody "don't want you to know."

What is this "lie" you speak of? Actually, can you please list the other ones too? It's not fair to readers to make a tantalizing claim like that and then not give them enough information to make up their own minds. It's practically dripping with duck fat.

Re YC founder usernames- it can't be secret if it's in the FAQ, right? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#yc.

None of these things are secret and to the extent you or anyone is curious about them, all you need to do is ask.
