- cloakandswagger 10y agoThere's no need for a separate website, HN already provides a collection of best comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=cloakandswagger https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=cloakandswagger
- planteen 10y agoI see what you did there

- tehwalrus 10y agoThat's awesome. Are these just comments with a high karma, or is there some other magic going on?
- exolymph 10y agoSeems like a combination of length and karma — or maybe length and karma just happen to correlate? There are short ones in there too. Hmm.
- bkanber 10y agoMy guess is it's a simple time-decay-weighted karma-based formula. That is, karma * e ^ -age. "Best" vs "top" may be the difference in net karma vs gross positive karma.
