Are you using an addon that strips referer headers?Safari with uBlock Origin. It could just be Safari's default configuration that for some reason strips referers. In any case I'm glad it protects me from this sort of stuff especially at work. What a dick move from JWZ (no pun intended).
Maybe he's got a whitelist for some specific articles he allows HN to view.
Edit: never mind it's just my browser somehow stripping referer headers.
