I'm still wondering at what point I will get to see the downvote button.....

  You need some number of karma points (500?) to be able to downvote.

  My guess is that you don't even have an upvote button. You have that little triangle, but I don't think it really upvotes. For example, this post has 5 points but is not on the ASK page. While older posts with just 3 points are. Probably because it is "upvoted" mainly by "little guys". As I understand it, clicking the triangle only means "put this in my saved stories list" unless you somehow secretly become a real upvoter. I think we all are still waiting for a community with transparent rules. So far, none has managed to get a lot of traction.

    I think it probably got flagged, as many meta-discussions do. I upvoted it, FWIW.

    <this post has 5 points but is not on the ASK page> Wouldn't it have needed "Ask HN:" preceding the title for that? I don't think upvotes (or lack thereof) determine presence on the ask page.

  You'll see it at 501 karma points.
