Actually, she's right. HN is nothing if not constantly self-introspective, and in the wild fast-paced world of startups, there's no such thing as bad publicity. I'm almost certain that HN as a whole will appreciate the attention.
That said, the way the article brings up HN seems to be a red herring. The barrier of entry to HN is far lower than that of App.net.
