It's not alarming. HN readers don't like HN being filled with the day's political drama and the kind of comments that follow it -- enough that the algorithm holds those stories to a higher bar, and the users tend to flag them. This is a link to a month old tweet, not something especially thought provoking.
- sremani 10y agoIf hn has a policy against political articles so be it, but it's not even handed. This post crawled it's way to #1 and disappeared. There is enough interest, and my comment and it's parent are based on practice that is uniquely specific to this topic.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoI think your theory is right. If we wanted drama, that's every corporate media outlet right there waiting for us. If we want insight, better chance of it being on places like Hacker News with filtering out the rest. I comment a little on these threads but mostly ignore them. Also, thanks for HN replies if I haven't said so. Kept me from missing two things just today. :) Btw, are you same guy behind Cyclone or different Dan Grossman?
- dangrossman 10y agoNot me :)
- nickpsecurity 10y agoOh well. Good comments and great comment reply feature earns you your own respect. :)
