Tangent, but I'm fairly confident that voting here is often done less civilly than commenting. Blind upvoting of top comments, upvoting of shallowly positive comments, and downvoting of negative comments that are highly accurate but just not want people want to read, are a real problem here. It leads to rage commenting. It leads to groupthink. All sorts of undesirable consequences. So in HN's hierarchy of needs, I'd like to see more work on voting algos.
