Like with this post, the monthly "Who's Hiring" threads also have many listings where the HN user says "Remote Available," but when browsing to the linked jobs listing, all the positions list a specific geographic location. It always makes me wonder if there's really a remote culture at the company. (See the concerns elsewhere in this thread about being the only remote dev in an organization). When I was looking, it made me think twice about applying for the position. Yes, I imagine it's usually just some 3rd-party HR software that requires a location in the job listing. But if you're looking to hire people, I think removing any doubt in the potential candidate's mind about wether or not there really are remote positions available might be in the company's best interest.
