I'm not entirely sure what your point is here? The pollution generated by making a bike will be orders of magnitude less than the pollution generated by making a car.
Following on from that, the pollution generated from day to day upkeep will be less as well (when was the last time you had to change the oil on your bicycle?)
Lastly, the energy required to power the bike (the energy that you provide), is a bit of a sunk cost, you need to eat to stay alive after all, and while you _might_ need a little more, it's still not going to be equivalent to driving your car to work and back every day.
Orders of magnitude? Doubt it. Check out http://bicycleuniverse.info/transpo/energy.html - while biking is typically more efficient than driving, it's not orders of magnitude. If you play with their calculator, you can find that driving a 50 mpg car and riding a bike really fast both have about the same carbon emissions. This is just from factoring in increased food consumption.
Thanks for sharing that link. It's interesting to think about this. I don't agree with the conclusions, though.
First of all, your metabolism isn't going to stop (assuming you're still alive), so it's not really fair to say that those calories you burned wouldn't have been burned if you hadn't biked. I exercise a few times every week. If I bike less, I just have to do more exercise, but i burn about the same number of calories.
Secondly, most bike trips are short and relatively low speed. Biking encourages you to explore your local area. Lower speeds mean lower wind resistances, and shorter trips obviously make the mileage considerations a lot less important. I really don't think I'd be willing to travel more than a few miles by mike, since I don't want to spend hours in transit.

It seems that they were interviewing for a "Technical Community Manager", in which case I can see the logic behind not hiring them.
But if they weren't, I wouldn't suggest that was a "hard no". A lot of people don't get involved on social news sites, for a variety of reasons (maybe they have done in the past and don't like being attacked by a bunch of strangers for their opinions). If they had never heard of HN, I might have to think twice, but I certainly wouldn't rule someone out for not getting involved in "debates" (all too often flamewars) on social news sites.
"You can host it on your laptop, or you can host it on a public server. The code is open, and so is the MIT license."
It's currently not public, so I would imagine at the moment it's all hosted on their servers, but according to their blog[0], they're going public on the 14th of October, meaning it should be self-hostable from then, one would assume.
Let's not go overboard; chat interfaces have looked very similar to this in the past, but it's so easy to tweak the CSS to make it look different enough that not doing so is pretty lazy and makes it obvious who they're trying to compete against.
