Perhaps you are you referring to me. I posted 19 links within the span of a couple hours (around the time you posted this).
My submissions -- which spanned aerospace, commercial spaceflight, natural language processing, embedded computing, error-correction codes, etc. (three of which frontpaged) -- are far more on-topic for this community than the usual frontpage garbage. 15+ iPhone articles a day, "Stephen Colbert makes Bing donate money", or Steve Jobs this and that do not belong on the frontpage day in and day out. At least not on a site called Hacker News.
If you look in the New queue right now you'll see several Apple articles, mostly about whatever is already on the frontpage (getting upvotes no less). This isn't a personal crusade against clashing ideologies (I use Apple as an example several times because this site overflows with Apple news), just an attempt to bring a little more hacker back to this site and a little less Engadget.
I apologize to anyone whose non-Reddit quality submissions were bumped to page 2 over the course of those two hours. To be clear, I believe your claim of so many similar submissions 'getting in the way' is well, ridiculous.
- napierzaza 16y agoHere here, I can do with out both the pro-Apple and a the con-Apple stories all together. Unless it's a leak. Unfortunately right now it's just a slow release of what was announced in WWDC or a slow release of counter-marketing by a lot of people who have competitive products.
- norswap 16y agoI have to agree with everything you said. "Apple stories" are getting tedious.
