Off topic, but I posted the exact same link about 24 hours earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14291332 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14291332 Not that it's important but I'm kinda curious why a. my submission would only get 7 points and b. how it was possible for someone else to submit the same link so soon after and gain the points rather than my submission getting boosted? It it just random chance/time of day of posting? Or is it because the user who posted this had more points to start with and so was more likely to be "noticed"? Awesome site in any case!
