"Finally, I'm delighted to announce that Daniel Gackle (pronounced Gackley), who has already been doing most of the moderation for the last 18 months, is going to join YC full-time to be in charge of the HN community."

Feel free to search the site for confirmation or email him and ask him. I am pretty darn sure he isn't working for a multibillion dollar company for free. But perhaps I misunderstood something somewhere along the way.
