You can serve the thousands or tens of thousands of users without any of those (it's harder, and more expensive, but it's not impossible).

And once you're bigger than that, you start having other options available to you if you must avoid those.

Especially if you stay away from video, it's not insanely hard. HN itself is two servers, IIRC.

HN is not an everything app. If you want to serve images and preserve UX across a country like the states, you'll want a CDN.
