Hacker News is a social media site for people to talk about (usually) tech-related news. It might be hosted by, and fully run by, a tech startup incubator, but Y Combinator isn't exactly a household name, and the only real indication that this site is related to the incubator is the domain name.
It's pretty easy to come across this site if you're just generally interested in tech stuff (I think everybody I talk to knows exactly what I refer to if I say "the orange site"), and if you're someone who's interested in tech but not particularly plugged into things like the mechanics of startups or business, well, there's a lot on here that's not related to that.
