I'd like to point out that we're having a pretty great argument about this on this HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12791672 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12791672

  Great detective work. Silenced in 3...2...1...

    It's well understood that certain sites or keywords in submissions result in a a ranking penalty. My guess is that due to the poor noise/signal ratio with topics such as 'Apple' this ensures that anything in this topic has to 'work harder' and be genuinely interesting to each the HN front page. While I'm personally interested in this particular submission, I don't think 'Apple rumours and gossip' this fits on Hacker News.

  HN ranking is a stupid algorithm (not simply "dumb" but demonstrably stupid) Also, for a site that promotes new startups and technologies etc outsourcing censorship to the crowd promotes majority-approved views, which is, once again, stupid, not simply dumb.

  That story tripped the software flamewar detector, which we've now turned off.

    Whatever it did, it had the unintended effect of producing a desired result: the re-blogged content on Macrumors was buried in favor of the original source story. Switch it back on :)

      We certainly will update the link to the original. Do you have any evidence to suggest that's the 512pixels article?
      - nikcub 10y ago
        That's a good point - I just assumed the 512pixels article was the original since it was shared first widely on Twitter, but only just noticed that Macrumors doesn't reference or credit it. It's possible they both discovered and posted about it today.

  We need a HN censorship conspiracy image generator, a la http://boingboing.net/2016/10/22/alt-right-conspiracy-image-gen.html http://boingboing.net/2016/10/22/alt-right-conspiracy-image-...

I sincerely hope apple still offers a version of their MacBook with physical Fn keys. I use them in day to day dev and can't imagine switching to memorizing touch positions.
