It has brought in 16,000 people (at last count), many of whom are probably unfamiliar with LWN. Some subscriptions have been sold in the process. > Certainly I don't want large amounts of our content to be distributed this way, but an occasional posting that puts an LWN article at #1 on HN is going to do us far more good than harm. > (That said, I do appreciate your concern!) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3793183#3793448 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3793183#3793448
