You should be aware that HN and other online comment forums often have 'negative' posts. Comments that attempt to show up the author of a linked article are a kind of intellectual one-upmanship that is common on Reddit/HN/etc.
I haven't read Nassim Taleb's work either, but comment forums like HN are a poor place to get an idea of the quality of someone's work unless they have clear and substantial criticisms.
You're usually better off getting your reviews elsewhere.
