Ask HN: Why doesn't Y Combinator have a SSL certificate?

[katrik14]

With google deciding to go all out on websites without the SSL certificate, why is YC still behind?

I am sort of amused by Neil Patel's claim of no importance of a SSL certificate. Help?

[tlb]

Both https://www.ycombinator.com/ and https://news.ycombinator.com/ have valid SSL certs. What domain are you referring to?

EDIT: Hmmm, https://ycombinator.com/ redirects to http://www.ycombinator.com/, which is lame.

I was thinking the same. Thanks :)
