Any examples of his work being stolen and HN being the cause?

Well you can search his name and "Hacker News" on Twitter. Here's an example: https://twitter.com/BretDevereaux/status/1307080975151697921
Probably the best way to view is searching the headline though, it's some brazen content thievery, some even copy comments like our own in there.

I want to know how first posting all the typos protects against plagiarism.

Certainly easier to identify plagiarism, although with something so specific it's probably not hard to detect anyway.

It doesn't at all of course, but it clearly makes the quality of plagiarised work worse, if you perhaps look into it more you'll see these sites and how they operate. The author has mentioned this before publicly and specifically noted it was due to HN exposure.
Absolutely hilariously how people found my original comment so offensive as to gray it out, was simply repeating something anyone can find in 3 seconds on Google.
