"3 points by wallflower 1 hour ago " Nothing against the article, but how is this #11 on the frontpage? Did HN make ranking easier recently?

  Ranking is relative, so on less busy days (such as today's holiday in the US and Canada) stories with fewer points can be ranked higher than usual. You can always email questions like this to hn@ycombinator.com to avoid cluttering the discussion threads.

    What's the holiday in US and Canada today? It is (was) a holiday in many places of India too, due to a Hindu festival called Vinayaka Chaturthi.
