Somewhat ontopic, I find interesting that Cloudflare is issuing certificates for HN, despite HN serving a Comodo cert.

They may be using Cloudflare in some regions only, or as a standby to take over in case of a DDoS on the original host.

Another post in this thread answered it: HN uses Cloudflare's DNS, and they create a cert even if you just use the DNS.

HN doesn't use Cloudflare DNS for news.ycombinator.com, but is actually served by Cloudflare.
