Doesn’t ycombinator and hacker news have links with this company? Makes it hard to maintain the hacker ethos when this entire site seems so closely linked with such forces.

Y Combinator does not, to my knowledge, and Hacker News certainly does not.

The hacker aesthetic has always been largely reactionary and hyperfocused on the individual and individual freedoms. See also the politics of "generation X"

as a counter, it is exactly the hacker ethos to take something and use it not as expected by those that made it so that it can be used for their own purpose

Between idiotic tech bros who wouldn't know a war if it bit them on the butt promoting a draft because they don't think they'd be drafted and HN having links with Palantir/Karp I think I'm done with this site.
