I wonder if it might be a good idea to disable the vote buttons until they've been in the viewable area for a minute or so, to allow for more time to think. Has that been tried anywhere?

I don't quite understand what you mean.

Only thing I can think of that is somewhat related is the fact that in deeper comments on HN it takes a while for the direct reply-link to show up, so you have to go via the permalink to respond immediately.

  I just noticed this for the first time. There are so many little subtle things about hacker news.

    If you click on the time of post, you always get the Reply link, no need to wait.

Similarly, I'd like to see voting disabled until you've actually clicked the story link, to reduce people voting on stories they haven't read.
