We thought you might like to know that we put https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14125108 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14125108 in the second-chance pool, so it will get a random placement on the front page sometime in the next 24 hours.
This is part of an experiment in giving good HN submissions multiple chances at the front page. If you're curious, you can read about it at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 and other links there. And if you don't want these emails, sorry! Tell us and we won't do it again.
Thanks for posting good stories to Hacker News,

- shouldbworking 9y agoI like this, but isn't it essentially the same as manual curation? Not that I see anything wrong with that. I've lurked /new for a long time and noticed more and more spammy articles increasing the noise factor. I really think the whole thing is an arms race for views that can't really be stopped without a real person in the loop. Perhaps you could start assigning reputation to a domain that's linked to how many good articles have come from there? This would encourage "friendly" SEO spam of good articles at least, lol.
- i336_ 9y agoThanks so much for the first link, this is really interesting. A couple days ago I was even wondering what would happen if there was a site that aggregated data from here but had independent voting. That wouldn't be ideal though for many obvious reasons. I'm really happy to learn about this initiative!
